Meet Heidi, Our Featured Employee!

Posted on August 1, 2019April 21, 2020 by Odessa Boettger

Heidi has been working with animals for many years but she’s been in love with them for as long as she can remember! Heidi has had the pleasure to work at a vet that treated Pacific Wild Life animals and had hands-on experience with owls, eagles, pelicans, etc.

Heidi has also spent time in the Philippines volunteering at a wild animal rescue for fruit bats, brown long tail macaques, and bear cats. Heidi’s favorite experience in the Philippines was a whale rescue she participated in and she spent 8 hours with a Dwarf Sperm whale! As exciting as this experience was, Heidi missed small animal practice and is so happy to be a part of the team at Pismo Beach Vet! She has a special passion for veterinary dentistry and enjoys educating our clients about the importance of dental health.
