Mobile Clinic Manager
 Beth
Hi my name is Beth and I am the Manager of Val-U-Vet’s Mobile Clinic services. I have been working with Val-U-Vet since July 2009 and love every minute of it. I enjoy helping people care for their pets by offering a low cost alternative. Horses are my passion and after retiring from the horse business in Connecticut in 2001, I relocated to sunny Florida and never looked back. I train and ride my horse Annie who is a Dutch and Arabian cross who is learning Dressage. I have an accounting degree from the University of Connecticut, this coupled with my love of animals helps me bring you this great service.
Vet Techs
 Ashley
My name is Ashley, I have been working on the mobile for a little more than a month now. This is the only job I have because I go to school during the week. I have one dog and her name is Gabbi. I love her so much!
 Leslie
I've been working on the mobile since January of 2010. I have a 4 year old black lab named Danger and a 5 year old boxer named Molly.
What I enjoy most about working on the mobile is getting to interact with local pet owners and their animals.
 Erica
I've been on the van since august 1 2010 but have had to take a break as of recently, and have also worked as a kennel tech in a vet hospital. I have a Chihuahua Bean, pembroke corgi Niah, American staffordshire Duma, domestic short hair tortie Abby, and 4 mice. The best thing about my job is my coworkers, manager and veterinarian, as well as the information I've learned and animals I get to be around. I honestly love working on the mobile.
 Teresa
I am Teresa L. Ehrhart and I have been working for Val-U-Vet for over a year on the mobile unit. I have a passion for animals and believe in giving them quality care. Before I started working for Val-U-Vet, I had rescued feral cats, turned them around into loving, affectionate indoor cats. I also volunteer for several charity organizations: Dreamflight, Charity Challenge, and Central Florida Burn Camp. I am currently a volunteer Firefighter/EMT for Volusia County Fire Department. I have been with them for over 3 years now. During the week I work for Bright Start where I transport special needs children from their home to our facility and then back home at the end of the day. As you can tell I am a caregiver and love giving quality of life to all things living. Come on out for a visit, bring your pets and get them their shots. We all love to see your pets, especially me.
 Kristina
Hi, my name is Kristina Parnell and Ive been working with the mobile since November 2010. I absolutely love my job, the staff, and especially the clients!! I worked in a kennel for about 2-3 years prior to coming on the mobile. I just recently got a kitten and named him Mason. He has such a big personality, I love him!! Ive lived in Florida my whole life and can honestly say I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
 Nicole
Hi I am Nicole and I am a Florida native with lots of love for animals. I currently have a Black Lab, Australian Shepherd, Domestic Shorthair cat, Arabian gelding, and a Thoroughbred mare to call my own. I am the newest member to the mobile team. I do have several years experience working in the animal field. With Val-U-Vet’s mobile clinic, I greatly enjoy traveling to different locations, meeting other pet owners, and educating owners about their pet’s care.
 Alejandra
Hi I have been working on the mobile unit since October, 2010.I have previous experience working in a veterinary hospital and vaccination clinic. I currently have two cats, Henry and BoThomas. I enjoy working on the mobile unit because we are able to help animals by means of health care prevention and give knowledge to people about the health of their pets.
 Heather
My name is Heather and I have been working with the Val-U-Vet mobile clinic since July 2011. I can honestly say there is no job like it and every moment has been a wonderful experience. Before I worked at Val-U-Vet, I worked at an animal shelter in West Palm Beach. I currently live with a flame-point siamese mix cat named Casper who has allowed me to stick around for the past 15 years (as long as I agree to keep bringing home the treats).
 Ali
I'm a born and raised Florida girl and I couldn't imagine moving away from the water or anywhere that's cold. I graduated from the IB program at Sebastian River High School where I was involved with Band, Rowing, Rugby, and Lacrosse. I currently attend Stetson University where I am majoring in Biology and minoring in Spanish. My dream is to become a large animal vet and travel the world. I'm really into athletics, fitness, being outdoors, and overall I'm pretty much a gym rat. I was an original member of the nations' first women's varsity rugby team.
