A little about Kara:
Kara was born an animal lover. Her whole life she was surrounded by them. She's had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, rabbits, rats, gerbils, hamsters, turtles, frogs, ducks, and snails. She currently has dogs, cats, a tortoise, chinchillas, and fish. She's fascinated by many animals, her favorite being the giraffe. She has quite an extensive collection of giraffe, dog, and cat figurines, among many others.
All through high school Kara knew she wanted to be in the animal field but could never decide on one career. After a year out of high school she had an opportunity to attend a school in Minnesota for a veterinary assistant. When she learned she was able to do her internship in the West Bend area, she then moved back "home" and started immediately. After working with two local vets, she had completed her schooling and now holds a certified veterinary assistant diploma.
When the time came to do a work search, there was nothing available in the vet field in this area. Kara then applied for a dog grooming position at a West Bend pet store. With her background, they were happy to train her on the job. It was then that she finally found her "calling". That was in January of 1996. The pet store later went out of business but Kara kept on grooming.
In September of 1997, Kara changed grooming shops to help a fairly new one (opened in July of 1996) take off. She was the first and only employee until at least 1999. With all the clients she brought in, they needed more help yet. She soon became the manager of those helpers. After knowing all aspects of the field, she was asked to consider purchasing the grooming shop. There were some unfortunate circumstances with the business and years went by and Kara still wasn't able to rationalize the purchase. She then realized that there was only one way to obtain her goal and that was to open her own NEW business. In November of 2005, an opportunity arose to do so.
Kara called a past fellow co-worker and friend, Carrie, to see if she'd be interested in joining her. They were so excited that only three weeks later, after much determination, they opened Studio K-9.
In March of 2006, Kara had another opportunity arise to work for one of the vet clinics she did her internship at. Now she can finally use her schooling to help animals too! She currently works full time at "the studio" and part time at the vet clinic. She looks forward to many happy and fulfilling years with her coworkers. She now has the best of both worlds.
As of April 1, 2007, Carrie had an opportunity to follow her dreams and took on another business venture. Now Kara is sole owner of Studio K-9. She still spends one day per week at the vet clinic because she enjoys both careers. "It doesn't get any better than this!" replies Kara.
