FAIRMONT â On a snowy Saturday afternoon, local veterinary tech students earned hands on experience as they provided curbside service to local pet owners.
Students at Pierpont Community and Technical College pampered area dogs by offering nail trims and warm baths inside the Hunt-Haught Hall vet tech lab on campus. Students carefully clipped each dogs nails before lifting them into a metal basin where they lathered and rinsed their coats. Since last March, the dog washing events have been on pause due to restrictions from COVID-19.
