Hailey Brasel, CVT

Hailey grew up on a small hobby farm in Milaca, Minnesota where she spent time around everything from dogs and cats to horses, cows, ducks, and guinea pigs. She attended Ridgewater College in Wilmar to earn her Associate’s degree in veterinary technology, passing the Veterinary Technician National Exam afterward to gain her state certification. Hailey then went on to work in research which she loved and was able to sharpen her tech skills. She then relocated to Florida—gaining an additional state certification there—and worked at a cats-only animal hospital before returning to Minnesota to continue her journey in veterinary medicine. She was happy to join an exotic/small mammal veterinary clinic to further her career and knowledge of different species from birds, snakes, rats, to chinchillas and cats and dogs. She then joined the team at Banfield to work and be a part of a larger company. She has been very happy with her decision, and feels she is a great asset to the company with all of her previous experience. Hailey has a husband, two stepchildren, and 3 dogs that when not working, she spends all of her time with.
