Morgan Cyphers, Office Manager


Morgan is the oldest of Dr. Viki’s two children and has an Associate’s Degree of the Arts from Northwest Arkansas Community College. Morgan’s been around the veterinary practice all his life and says he wouldn’t have it any other way. When he’s not running the office, he’s enjoying time playing outside with Summer and their pups, preferably in the water somewhere. Along with loving animals and the outdoors, Morgan is an avid movie buff.


​Meggy Cyphers, Assistant Manager


Meggy is Morgan’s little sister and started at Family Pets in 2016. Like Morgan, she has been in and around the veterinary world all her life and couldn’t imagine not seeing animals every day. Meggy has a special interest in dog and cat nutrition as well as low stress handling techniques for pets during vet visits. She and her husband Joseph have 2 dogs, Bruce and Rita, and an aquarium full of fish. Outside of work, Meggy loves to camp, play in the water, and rock climb at the climbing gym in Bentonville.


Mike

Mike joined us in 2021, but has been working with animals off and on since 2013. He graduated from Rogers High School and has worked at several clinics since then. He’s happily married with 2 human (Jax and Lilly) and 2 fur kids (Piney and Salem). Aside from getting to work with animals, Mike really loves to talk with all of our clients, especially if they like to talk TV or video games. In his spare time, he likes to take his family on outdoor adventures such as camping and swimming.


Our Grooming Team

Summer Cyphers

Summer has been a Pet Stylist for going on 12 years, and is formerly trained in cosmetology. She is the wife of Morgan, and the owner of the grooming salon. Together, they have 4 dogs, Willow( pictured), Ziggy the terrier, Moon the Standard Parti Poodle, and Issa the Standard Poodle. They hope to open a wholistic pet supply store/grooming salon one day. When Summer isn’t in the salon, you can usually catch her paddle boarding, exploring the country , or rock climbing.


Courtney Walters

Courtney Walters joined us in 2020, and has been grooming for over 5 years. Courtney grew up in Huntsville, so naturally she has been around animals, including livestock all her life. She is a true crime connoisseur, loves reality tv, playing The Sims, curling up with her cat, Lou Anne while reading a good book, and creating new recipes to cook with her fiancé, Josh.


Courtney Pinkerton

Courtney Pinkerton joined the Family Pets Fam shortly after Courtney W. Summer, Courtney W. , and Courtney P. formerly worked side by side for years. Along with grooming for over 10 years, she is a certified veterinary assistant, has 3 associate degrees and well as a certification in general studies. She has 3 dogs and 2 cats, Stormy the Standard Poodle, Yukon the Husky mix, Jolie the Beagle mix, Mima the black cat, and Mr. Waffles the fat cat. When Courtney isn’t giving your dog or cat a spaw day, you can find her playing video games, listening to audible, or having a karaoke night with her friends.


Alanis

Alanis is our newest Pet Stylist, and has been grooming for over 3 years. Like Courtney P. , she has veterinary assistant training. Alanis grew up in Texas, but has spent most of her days here in NWA. She has an 8-year-old Austrian Shepherd, Kuknuckles that is her world. Alanis enjoys running, reading, and traveling as much as she can. She loves her career so much because she gets to work with animals every day, and she’s eager to learn more about grooming to further her skills.
