Krissy Vander Vloet: Veterinary Technician


Krissy VanderVloet

In 2005, Krissy graduated from the Veterinary Medical Office Administration course at Ridgetown College.  Deciding that she wanted "more!", she enrolled in the Veterinary Technician Program at St. Clair College in Windsor.   Krissy  moved to the Strathroy area about 5 years ago.  We would like to think it is because she really wanted to work at Caradoc, but it may have had something to do with the fact that she was engaged, now married, to Paul who lives just outside of town :)  Krissy loves every aspect of being a technician.  In particular, her areas of concentration are pet nutrition, surgery and client relations.

When she is not in the clinic, you will find Krissy hard at work on the farm.  Krissy and her husband Paul with their two children, Abigail and Gordon live together on a dairy/horse farm.  In addition to husband and  kids, Krissy has a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Reba, 4 horses   (Tea, Mugsy, Hannah, and Sugar), A pet goat,  Dodger, a bunny named Hungry Helen and two pot-belly pigs, Rosie and Raisins.  Krissy could not imagine a day without animals.
