Chad and Dr. Teegardin own Sheridan Animal Hospital.  They have been married for 30 plus years.  He has always been her biggest supporter and that still shows today!  Not only does he keep the lawn mowed, the driveway plowed, and the sidewalks shoveled and salted, whenever we need something fixed or altered around the hospital, all we have to do is ask!  It’s like having our own magic wand!
