Brandi
Meet our four-legged office staff! Violet The Iggy (Italian Greyhound) is our newest addition to the VPMH family. While she may have a lot of maturing ahead of her, Violet is already learning the ropes of being a supportive friend and is becoming a valuable member of our team. Violet loves to show the importance of shedding stereotypes and stepping outside her comfort zone! From swimming to playing hours of contact sports with the bigger dogs- she proves that wonderful things come in small packages! Brandi the Boykin (Boykin Spaniel) joined us a few years ago and has become a kind, wonderful and intuitive girl. While she will fetch and dive for hours, she also loves sitting quietly at your feet and providing a calming presence and gentle support. Please ask if you would like to include Violet or Brandi in your session!
