Cherie joined the team at Manzanita Animal Hospital in December of 2010. She has over 20 years of previous experience in the veterinary field. Cherie moved to the Kingman area in 2009 with her husband and her pets from northern California where she had worked for the same veterinary hospital for 12 years. Cherie has a strong interest in dog behavior and training which was fueled by the adoption in 2011 of her Doberman Chloe. In addition, she also has several cats, some were bottle babies requiring feeding every 2 hours for their first few weeks. She greatly enjoys working with cats and has focused her continuing education on small animal dentistry, nutrition, and feline behavior. Outside of work, her interests include cooking, reading, fishing, quilting, and gardening. She also makes time to do volunteer work for several animal rescue organizations in Arizona and Nevada [citation].
