Alyssa Kaplan, Credentialed Veterinary Technician
Alyssa describes herself as ‘power hungry,’ noting that her favorite thing about her job is “having the power to aid in making patients feel better, tending to boarders - making them feel more comfortable - and getting them to eat when they are in an unfamiliar place.” The ‘power’ to give to others is arguably the greatest power of all, which makes her very powerful indeed! She and Significant Other, Brandon, live with a colorful variety of pets: Suzi (not to be confused with the Doctor with the same name), a six-year old Terrier mix, Roxy, a seven-year old Chihuahua mix and Olive, a one-year old Jack Russell. Alyssa tells us, “Suzi is my wing-man, and would go everywhere with me if she could. Olive is new to us but makes sure she sleeps next to me as close as possible every night. Suzi and Olive love to play together.” When she finds personal time, Alyssa can be found in Zumba class – or hiking with her pups. All we can say about Alyssa is, “you’re gonna LOVE her!”
