Trooper is a young parakeet who was brought to BarburVet from a pet store. He was failing to thrive among the rest of the flock and we were happy to give him the extra TLC and individual attention he needed.  He has become a source of education and joy for the staff and clients. He has been working on his fancy whistles, making kiss noises and loves taking baths or looking at his reflection in the mirror.

Angela really enjoys interacting with people and their pets. Her goal is to provide excellent client care and making sure their pet is getting love and careful attention during their stay at the hospital. She also keeps the hospital organized and running smoothly. 

During her down time, Angela enjoys being a home chef and spending time with friends and family. She is kept busy taking care of her elderly grandmother and two teenage sons. She has a young Shih Tzu mix named Hammy that is an ambassador for BarburVet and a Pionus parrot named 'BigBird' that she has owned for over twenty years!

Jessica earned her AAS from the College of Southern Idaho in 2006 and then obtained her license as a Certified Veterinary Technician in 2007. She spent five years at a cardiology specialty practice and decided to delve back into general practice. Veterinary medicine is a passion for Jessica and she thrives on the opportunity to be involved in the paramount care of companion animals and their guardians by extending her compassion, knowledge and experience. BarburVet is thrilled to have Jessica's enthusiasm, skills and expertise on our team!

Jessica's second passion is yoga. In December of 2016, Jessica completed her 200 hour teacher training with CorePower Yoga. Jessica feels it has been a great compliment to both the stress and joys experienced in veterinary medicine. Her long term goals are to someday see these two passions fuse by teaching yoga to fellow veterinary professionals to alleviate stress and achieve balance through the fundamentals of yoga.

Jessica shares her life with her adorable young yellow Labrador named 'Chubbs', and her beautiful and ever-demanding lilac point feline. She also has an adopted Amazon, Citrus.
