Bobbie Krozell with Sayler

Bobbie Krozell, Founder/President, was born in Michigan and moved to Wisconsin in the late 1970’s. Ever since she can remember, she has had a dog in her life. At the young age of 12, Bobbie fell in love with her first St. Bernard and by the age of 14, she started having her own. She is a member of the St. Bernard Club of America for several years and has been involved with helping the Wisconsin chapter of St. Bernard Rescue finding homes for a few of the rescue dogs. After a back injury, she had the opportunity to return to school as an adult and enrolled in the local technical college for an Associate Degree in Architectural Design. Two years later, she started taking state exams to become a Certified Wisconsin State Residential Building Inspector, which she has been doing the past several years. She remained heavily involved with the dogs while starting her new profession. Dogs have always been her passion, and she believes through Sayler’s and her experience, she can help other dogs and their owners complete a journey similar to Sayler’s by forming the Sayler Dogs Foundation /Organization.

Dr. Erin Wendt

Dr. Erin Wendt Director
An alumni of UWGB, Dr. Wendt is thrilled to start calling this friendly city her home again. After graduating from veterinary school, she embarked on a year long internship at Washington State University. There, she received an additional full year of extensive clinical training in areas such as internal medicine, emergency and critical care, neurology, and oncology. Though she enjoyed her time in Washington, it was important for Erin to return to Wisconsin to be close to her family and friends. Her interests lie mainly in feline and canine medicine, as well as physical therapy; her ambitions include completing the physical therapy program to become certified. She's anxious to start using the hospital's underwater treadmill to rehabilitate patients! When she's not working, Erin immensely enjoys the outdoors. Whether it's hiking, camping or fishing, you can usually find her dog, Martha, by her side.

Her strong understanding of the business end of the clinic, in addition to her hands-on work with families and their pets, created the perfect recipe for Chanda to pursue the next level of patient care. She soon moved into a leadership role at PVC, while maintaining her role as a CVT care provider.
