<b>Alison and Dr. Mark Guilloud</b>, who started the Animal Medical Center of the Lowcountry 25 years ago, gave a party last Saturday, May 3, celebrating the milestone for all their clients — both two-legged and four-legged. Dr. Mark credits his wife Alison with the 25 year success of his practice. “Alison has a great deal to do with a smoothly run practice. She does everything from payroll to kennel care. She has always been my biggest cheerleader and motivator.” He also gives credit to his hard-working staff. “Without my superstar staff, our daily routine would be close to chaos. They are always in tune, very obviously they have a way of making everyone feel special.” And he described his new associate, <b>Dr. Wreden</b>, as intelligent and confident.

The job is still interesting after 25 years because, adds Dr. Guilloud with a smile, “You never know what’s coming through that door.”
