Groomer LeeAnn Bruner was a client with New Haven Pet Hospital before Dr. McKaig approached her about starting the grooming services here at the hospital. In 1991 LeeAnn became our first groomer. We now have a total of 4 groomers, with one of them being LeeAnn's daughter, Bobbi. Bobbi used to come to work with her mom when she was little and loved watching her mom groom the animals. She loved it so much that Bobbi studied to be a groomer herself and now we have a second generation Bruner working at the hospital. LeeAnn has been at New Haven Pet Hospital for over 18 years and is happy to stay with all of her animal and human friends she has made during her time as groomer. She shares her home with a number of pets, including cats Furball, Ozzy and Ahcoo and dogs Yoshi, Misfit, Jake, Rupert and Marbin.
