WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
The submission was excellent. Cindy took what
was a mediocre document and with the help of all
of us made it into what it is- clear, concise,
and thorough. Norman B Guilloud, DVM Consulting
and Attending Veterinarian
Thank you so much for all your help and
expertise in the AAALAC accreditation process. 
The application you prepared for us was very
professional and detailed.  If you did not
prepare the application for us it would not have
been done in time for our site visit this year. 
I appreciate all your suggestions and help you
offered for our program.  I think we all worked
together to get it done.  I hope your consulting
business keeps growing and growing!  Please let
me know if I can be of any help in the
future. Thanks again, Feli Smith,
