Stephanie Drebenstedt
Stephanie is our groomer, as well as one of our veterinary technicians. She was raised just outside of Burlington and has had pets since she was a child. Her first dog was a Collie named Nancy. With the help of her cousin John, she smuggled her first cat home at age of four. Her name was Tweetybelle until she found out that she was a he, so he became Tweetybelle Thomas. But that was only the beginning! Her family often jokes and refers to Dr. Allgood as their “family doctor” because they see him more frequently than their family practitioner. She is the happy owner to several cats. She enjoys pampering your pet as well as making them feel special at our day spa.
