Heather Minett has been with Mandak Veterinary Services since Dec. 2019. She wears many hats here, handling most of the customer service tasks, assisting Dr. Teddy and Suzanne on some management duties, and occasionally working in the back as a veterinary assistant. Heather grew up in Ballston Spa and, despite never really picturing herself working at a vet clinic, applied for a job here after being a client for approximately 12 years. The laid-back atmosphere of the clinic always made her feel comfortable and drew her to want to work here.
Heather enjoys spending time with her horse Bonnie, her dog Marleigh, and her two cats named Jinglebell and Snowflake. Her favorite part about working in the veterinary field has been helping animals live a happier, healthier life by improving their nutrition. She enjoys helping owners come up with better diets for their pets and identifying allergies to avoid them.
Heather says her favorite part about Mandak is the atmosphere created by the employees, which makes coming to work every day fun. She appreciates Teddy as a fabulous boss who always prioritizes family. In her personal life, Heather and her husband, Peter, enjoy spending summers at their seasonal campsite swimming and spending time with their "camp" family. They also vacation at the Outer Banks every year and enjoy snowmobiling in the winters. Her son, Bryce, has taken a liking to dirt bikes as well [citation].
