I’m Cristy McNabb. I have worked at Dogwood Animal Hospital for 12 years as head nurse, office manager and receptionist. I am also the nutrition specialist here at the hospital and enjoy educating our clients about the needs of their pets. I am certified by the American Institute of Medical Laser Application for the use of our Companion Laser Therapy. Being Head Nurse for 7 years here at Dogwood, I also am very knowledgeable about the various flea and heartworm preventatives on the market. I also enjoy educating our clients about puppy training and behavior. I have 5 dogs and one cat at home, so I know how important our four-legged family members can be in our lives. I love our patients and clients like family and take a lot of pride in my work. I plan on being at Dogwood Animal Hospital for years to come, and I hope you will come join our family and be a part of it with me and the rest of our wonderful, caring staff.

I’m Sara Sharp. I have worked at Dogwood for over a year. I started in the kennel and worked my way to reception and nursing. Working with animals is by far the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. I have two furbabies of my own, my sweet Chihuahua, Lulu, and my cat, Stevie, both of whom I acquired from working in the clinic. I enjoy camping, kayaking, and of course spending time with my family, 2 legged and 4. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies here at the clinic.
