Dr. Robert L. King, D.V.M. He graduated from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1968. After practicing briefly in Indiana, Dr. King moved to Massachusetts -- opening a practice a third of a mile from the present location. Initially the practice was mainly large animal medicine, with the occasional pet seen in the evening. Over the years, the small animal practice grew, and the large animal practice declined, as economics forced many dairy farmers to move to other states or retire from dairy farming. Dr King has been practicing small animal medicine exclusively for 25 years. Presently Dr King enjoys the companionship of his three cats and two dogs. When time permits, he relaxes by working on the land, reading and traveling. |

Grooming Susan Campbell has been grooming for over 5 years. She graduated from Becker College with an associate's degree in Animal Science and is a member of the NEPGP (New England Pet grooming Professionals). Susan always wanted to work with animals and chose Grooming as her way to be a positive force in the animal world. She enjoys working with all breeds of dogs and cats. One of Susan's most memorable experiences was grooming a toy poodle that was so badly matted and uncomfortable that it took her over 1-1/2 hours to shave him down completely. This was her most rewarding experience because he was so much more comfortable and happy when he was done. Much better looking too! Susan has 2 dogs and one cat that live with her. Daisy aka (Marshmallow Girl) a boxer, Cutie aka Evil one a Tibetan Spaniel, and Clyde aka Boo Bear a cat. The nicknames more or less describe their personality. Her assistant, Caitlin Lucier, attended Becker College for a short time where she attended grooming classes; She found that this is what really interested her. Caitlin is now working with Susan to learn the grooming trade. Caitlin has been around with animals all of her life. She has raised and shown rabbits, but admits she has a soft spot for dogs. Caitlin lives with Lydia, her Japanese Chin, and Jack the Shih Tzu. Jack is a frisky little fellow that is always in some type of trouble. Lydia is a calm sweet girl that was rescued from Second Chance animal shelter. Wickaboag Veterinary Clinic Welcomes Susan and Caitlin to our team. |
