When Ocotillo Animal Clinic and Pet Resort opened in its current building on Arizona Avenue south of Queen Creek Road 20 years ago, not all of south Chandler was as highly developed as it is today.
Much of that former farm and ranch land now has homes on it — homes ruled by cats, dogs and other pets.
Lesley Gulick is the new hospital manager of Ocotillo. The veterinary practice and pet resort that has served the Chandler community for more than 25 years has staff who have been with the team the whole time — and the team was set to grow this month.
