(Chelsea Update would like to thank Rachel Rachel Michalsen for the information in this story.)
Next week, Lane Animal Hospital (LAH) will once again offer grooming services with stylist Katherine McClure, who will offer appointments Tuesday-Saturday weekly.
McClure has been a Lane Animal Hospital employee for more than five years and has been grooming dogs for about three years.
She joined the animal hospital in 2018 as a member of the boarding team, and now moves into the full-time professional pet stylist position. McClure began helping in the LAH grooming salon back in 2020 after the pandemic grooming service pause, helping her to decide she wanted to become a groomer herself.
She took a second job as a dog bather at Petsmart in 2020 on top of continuing to work on the animal hospital’s boarding team.
In March 2021, she graduated from the Pet Stylist grooming academy program after completing more than 800 hours of hands on experience, working with over 200 dogs to begin her new role as a full-time stylist in Jackson. She recently added felines to her services after completing an additional training program in December 2022.
McClure grew up in Onsted and has three large dogs and multiple cats of her own. She has had a passion for animals her whole life and knew that she wanted her career to involve them. She loves grooming all pets, but especially enjoys grooming large/giant breeds and small curly coated breeds.
She is very excited to help LAH pets look and feel their best.
