Dr. Dymond is a local Lehigh Valley girl and loves being a veterinarian to not only her clients of VCA AVH but her friends and family in the surrounding area. She graduated from The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004 and was happy to return to the Lehigh Valley to practice at AVH. VCA AVH has been more than a place to work to her and she considers AVH family! Dr. Dymond has a busy life outside of work. She has two boys with her husband, Vance, that always keep her on the move. She also has one super active Border Collie, Vedder, named after her favorite band, Pearl Jam. Her cat, Kitty, was named by default since no one could agree on a name and she always answered to, "Kitty". She is a cat that loves to do her own thing just as cats do. When not at work, Dr. Dymond cherishes her time with her family, but is also fairly devoted to running and working out when she can fit it in. She also enjoys traveling with the family as much as possible! Her favorite trips include close encounters with gorillas in Uganda, Zanzibar, a safari trip to Tanzania, and swimming with turtles and being at arm's length to humpback whales in Hawaii. Dr. Dymond loves helping animals and their families and couldn't think of anything she would rather do in life. Her motto is taken from a bumper sticker she once found and it read, "Wag More, Bark Less!"
