“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Kendra Dostaler, RVT

Today we are giving a big “high-five” to Kendra Dostaler, RVT, a large animal veterinary technician serving in the Equine and Farm Animal Hospitals. A faculty member nominated her stating, “She makes the day easier by always being one step ahead, prepared for procedures and cases coming through the clinic. Her innovative ideas consistently improve our workflow.”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today? It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for length. Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. For more information, visit the PVM Wellness Committee website.
