Daunelle
Customer Service Representative
Here are some silly and fun facts about our receptionist, Daunelle. She was born in Nobroster, MO, but she only lived there for a whole six weeks. Her seventh birthday was celebrated somewhere over the Pacific Ocean and it lasted for just a few hours before she flew over the International Date Line. She has performed on the country’s largest outdoor stage and was put in the front row because she could point her toes while marching. To her, the only thing better than chocolate is a mango. As Regal’s “Cuddler-in-Chief,” she has found her dream job!

Kim

For nearly 20 years, Kim worked for a global corporation as a health consultant when it abruptly came to an end, due to the company going bankrupt. To then have an opportunity to work at Regal Animal Hospital was a dream come true!
