Wednesday night more than 50 people packed into the newly renovated lobby of Clarendon Animal Care to cut the ribbon on the veterinary clinic’s expanded facility.

Co-owners Drs. Natasha Ungerer and Kayleen Gloor thanked the Arlington Chamber of Commerce as well as Arlington Women Entrepreneurs and the Arlington community in general for being so welcoming and supportive as they got off the ground two and a half years ago, and since. “We are especially thankful for and proud of the awesome team we have the pleasure of working with, and of our wonderful clients who entrust our team with the care of their furry family members,” said Dr. Natasha Ungerer in her remarks before cutting the ribbon.

The clinic’s physical size is increasing by 70 percent as it expands into a former sign shop next door. It will increase from three to five exam rooms, there will be a larger reception area and there will also be roomier treatment spaces. The center is also adding a fifth veterinarian to the clinic.

Dr. Natasha Ungerer, one of the owners of Clarendon Animal Care, credits the staff’s love for their work along with their positivity as the reasons for the clinic’s success. It was these qualities that helped the center to grow its business and prompted the need for the expansion.
