Chloe Dettmers

Hello!  My name is Chloe and I am a Youth Apprentice here at Four Lakes Veterinary Clinic. I am currently a senior at McFarland High school. The Youth Apprenticeship Program allows for me to get real life experiences, to help prepare for my future career. It also helps 

to determine important decisions like choosing to become 

a large or small animal veterinarian. 

When I was 6 years old, I decided I wanted to become a veterinarian. I’ve been working towards my goal ever since. There are two main reasons I want to be a veterinarian 1. Pets are the best! I want to give back to animals. I am very appreciative for all animals do for others and myself. I want to work in the medical field and I enjoy the company of animals, so this career is perfect. 2. I spent a lot of time with my grandpa, who was a large animal vet., when I was a young girl. Knowing my love for animals, he has been supporting and grooming me to follow in his footsteps. I enjoy every lesson and story he shared with me about his time as a veterinarian. 

Coming to work everyday is a bit of an adventure. I always learn something new and observe exciting events. Getting to know all the pets and people I encounter is always something to look forward to. I am very excited to continue working here and towards my future career goals!
