After one and one half years of remodelling, the practice had its grand opening in May 1997. Dr. Yarrow lives in Guilford with her husband Don. They have two horses, three dogs, two cats, a cockatiel and a parakeet. Dr. Yarrow also enjoys horseback riding, motorcycle riding, hiking and kayaking.

She also completed certification in acupuncture from the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society.
