In 2001, Dr. Hellard graduated from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland with a degree in applied animal behavior and animal welfare.  She also trained under behavior specialists at Tufts University and Michigan State University in order to learn more about pet behavior consultations and behavioral research.  Dr. Hellard has offered behavior consultations since 1998.

Dr. Hellard grew up in southwest Michigan and moved to the Dayton area in 2001.  She married Bryan in 2006 and they enjoy their two dogs and cat tremendously.  Dr. Hellard competes in local agility trials with her dog, Emma.  She also enjoys rock climbing, trail running, and kayaking.

Dr. Hellard loves every aspect of being a veterinarian.  Interacting with clients and their pets is very rewarding to her.  She appreciates the personal relationships she builds with her clients through mutual concern for their beloved furry family.

Kathy Ford has loved animals since she was a child. Kathy received her bachelor's degree in education from the University of Cincinnati and taught elementary education for many years. Throughout those years, she always kept a pet in her classroom. Kathy also bred rabbits with her sister when she was young, and helped her own children show rabbits when they were old enough. Kathy's family also boasts an energetic yellow lab named Kalli. Kathy is a proud wife and mother of three children. She opted to stay at home with the kids until all of them were in school, but now she has discovered WCVC and is a great asset to our team.

In her spare time, Kathleen models, loves football (expecially UC, go Bearcats!), plays the flute and loves fishing at her family's lake house in Kentucky. She also loves being with her family and boyfriend of five years. Kathleen has a fun loving labradoodle, a cat and two rabbits. She really enjoys working at WCVC and looks forward to her future here.

She received her Bachelor's degree in Art History from WSU in Dayton, but decided that spending time with animals is where her heart lies. Emily is a self-proclaimed old-school geek who enjoys reading, writing, video games, staying up way too late and imbibing way too much caffeine. She's worked in the veterinary field for about three years now, enjoys every day of it and can't imagine a life without pets.
