Susan - Office Manager

Mallori Metcalf  started working at Sandy Animal Clinic in November of 2010, after she graduated from Broadview University in October of 2010. She graduated from the Veterinary Technician program with an Associates Degree in Applied Science.  Mallori chose to study and work in the area of animal health care because of her love of animals.

She currently live in Holladay, where she has lived for 12 years.  She is a mother to an amazing nine year old son, Kaleb. They live at home with their 5 year old Yorkie, Nerman and their cutest ugliest singing mutt, Coraline.  Mallori is also a parent to a 5 yr old eyelash crested gecko named Johnny.

When Mallori is not working , her favorite past time is watching Kaleb play football.  They love to go to the movies and hangout with the family.

Nikki Dale is originally from West Weber Utah, where living in the country, she has always been around animals.  She has always wanted to work with small animals and during her senior year of high school started attending the Utah Career College for Veterinary Technology, where she graduated with an Associate’s Degree in July of 2010.  Nikki joined our staff in March of 2011 after recently moving to the Midvale area from West Weber.  In spare time she enjoys spending time with her boyfriend of three years, being with family, drawing, taking pictures, and being outside.  She is kept busy with her two cats, Ashe and Alison, her hyper Pit Bull, Gambit and a new, Australian Shepherd mix puppy, Pippin.

Brittany Malouf is one of the newest members of our staff.  After moving up to Salt Lake County, she joined our team in July 2011.  Brittany graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Brigham Young University, but she has been working with animals for as long as she can remember.  In fact, her first job was at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Georgia where she was raised. 

Upon graduating, Brittany had plans to move back to Georgia to attend veterinary school.  She decided to stay in Utah for one last summer to enjoy the camping, fishing and hiking in the mountains, when she met a devastatingly handsome boy who persuaded her to stay.  They are now married, and are the happy parents of a fat spoiled cat named Ruthie.

 

Kathy Turnbow has spent many years as a client at Sandy Animal Clinic and as of December 2010 became a member of our great staff.  As a kennel tech she is our background support and loves getting to know each pet and their owners.

Kathy has two yorkies, Bella and Lily, and recently said a tearful goodbye to her beautiful 13 year old retriever, Sugar.  As such she has first hand knowledge of the importance of continued relationship with Dr. Edmonds and his staff, from the early years of a pets life throughout those to soon to come years of age related special care that helped keep Sugar comfortable and happy through the last few years of her life.

She is a delighted fan of her grown children, baseball, Ute Football and any trail she can find throughout our famous Wasatch mountains. And of coarse of a record snowfall!

"It isn't that one wants to live for the sake of a dog, exactly, but that dogs show you why you might want to."  Mark Doty, author and poet.

 

Brittany Nelson is the newest member of our staff.  Her dad was in the military for 28 years so she grew up travelling all around the world.  Her favorite places she called home were North Carolina, South Korea, Rhode Island and Washington.  She most recently lived in Idaho while she received her Bachelor's degree in Agribusiness, Plant and Animal Science at BYU-Idaho.  She got married just a few short months ago to a hunky Idaho boy and moved to Utah so that he could go Pre-med through the University of Utah.

Brittany has been around animals since she was little and plans on doing that for the rest of her life.  She has worked with almost every farm animal / pet imaginable. She works as both a vet tech and a groomer for Sandy Animal Clinic and lives it.  She has a Pit Bull/ corgi mix named Durango, a Ragdoll mix named Thumper and two baby turtles.  During her free time she loves spending time with her husband and family, doing anything outdoors, eating foreign foods, and travelling.
