Thank you for choosing my services at Dupont Vet Clinic. My role as a groomer is to beautify and care for your pet's hair and skin. My professional grooming experience is going on six years now, but my life long love for animals has made me the groomer I am today. I take pride in my work and treat each pet as if he/she is my own. My goal is to keep your pet healthy and clean, while helping my clients understand how to correctly maintain their pet's coat. I am confident that my clients are satisfied with their pet after grooming, however, if there is any room for improvement, feel free to make any suggestions. I appreciate your business.

Simon, one of our hospital cats, came to us in order to better control his diabetes.  His current duties include pestering the front desk, teasing visiting dogs, begging for food from everyone, and being loved on by the entire staff.  Be sure to be on the look out for this ball of grey mischief at your next appointment. RIP 1993-2011

Jason, another diabetic cat living at the clinic, prefers to spend his time in our lab and in his make shift bed there.  Jason's particular talents include spending time in the lab sink, lying on the chairs at the front desk, locking himself in closets, hiding on days when his blood is required, and trying to beat up all the dogs in the clinic.  RIP 1993-2010
