Megan not only cares for our patients in the clinic, but she also takes care of pets through her job as a part-time pet sitter. Outside of work, Megan enjoys spending time with her family, including five nieces and nephews, and hanging out with her two dogs at home. Megan truly loves her work and cannot imagine a career outside of veterinary medicine.
Arlene
Veterinary Technician & Receptionist
Arlene joined the Clearlake Animal Hospital team about a year ago in April 2024. She has been a vet tech for twenty-eight years now. Starting out young with a love for animals and animal rights, she grew up on a mini farm and continues the tradition now with dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, and chickens.
She did not go to a formal school, as they were not offered at the time; she got her foot in the door based on her passion and fierce determination to learn.
Arlene also enjoys dog behavior and training. She has kept her dogs busy with obedience, agility, fast cat, scent work, and tracking. She is still very passionate about animal rights, and besides her fur babies, she also volunteers and fosters to help those who have failed. Arlene has been fortunate in this life to get the chance to do what she loves, so it’s not just a job; it’s her purpose.
Chasity
Receptionist
Chasity has been working with animals for 20 years in the veterinary industry as a technician and receptionist.

She moved here from Texas with her two sons 7 years ago and is loving the weather and beautiful beaches. She likes to go ride motorcycles and go on adventures to the beach. She is looking forward to helping all the clients and fur babies she can here.
