Our Team

Tara | Owner & Veterinary Technician

Tara has been working in the veterinary industry for 10+ years. She started first as a veterinary assistant in 2013 whilst living in Pennsylvania & then relocated to Colorado where she became employed with the Well Animal Institute in 2015. It was there she became trained & enhanced her skills with anesthesia-free teeth cleanings & holistic veterinary medicine. She moved to Maryland in 2018 to help build another company that performed those same services (formerly Pearly White Pets). In 2022, she decided to work for herself & she created Dazzling Canines LLC!

In her free time, Tara enjoys hiking the great outdoors, photography, traveling, & spending time with her husband, Jason, her three stepsons, and her three pups, Louis, Bella & Chico.

She has been in the vet field for 15+ years, starting as a kennel attendant & working her way up to a licensed veterinary technician, graduating from NOVA’s veterinary technician program in 2016. She has been performing anesthesia-free dental cleanings for 4+ years.

Rachel has an obsession with Pit bulls! They are her favorite patients to perform cleanings on. In her free time, Rachel enjoys hiking with her Pittie, Roo, playing soccer, & spending time with her human baby, Kai. Her two babies are her world!
