    Andi Barbuto, Technician

    Andi's love of animals led her to enter the veterinary field 12 years ago when she joined the Bluffs Animal Hospital team as a kennel assistant. Advancing quickly, she worked for the Dr.'s DiMarco as a full time technician for 9 wonderful years. In 2005 she took time off to follow her other dreams of becoming a full time artist and starting a family. She spent the next 6 years woking successfully as an artist and stay-at-home mommy.
    Andi was excited to return to  Bluffs Animal Hospital part time in 2011 when her daughter started kindergarten. She's so happy to be back working with the wonderful pets and staff at Bluffs again! She still works hard as an artist, often incorporating the animals she knows and loves so much. Andi is into work and living happily ever after with her loving husband Rick, their daughter Marina, Sandi their Brittany spaniel, Sweet Mustardseed the kitty, and an attack cat named Kiwi.
