STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet our Technician, Chelsea Haapala

"I grew up in Upper Michigan and have always had a passion for working with animals. As a child I found ways to be involved with animals -- from having my own pets to helping injured wildlife and also working in shelters. I moved to Wisconsin to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and graduated from Globe University as a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have worked in emergency medicine since then. This past spring I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Bryant and the rest of the team as part of To Your Door Vet! I enjoy meeting and working with our clients and providing the best care possible for their pets."

Chelsea is with us part time to assist with dentistry and surgeries at our surgical site, and also often assists during house call visits with blood draws and other procedures requiring extra hands and expertise. She is available by special appointment to deliver food or medications and can provide certain pet care tasks such as nail trims, mat removal, ear cleaning, medication administration demonstrations, sub-Q fluid administration (as directed by Dr. Bryant), and blood glucose checks. Be in touch if you’d like to learn more about these services.
