Happy new year everyone! We have some great news to share: Dr. Maddie Redd has joined our practice as an associate veterinarian. Some of you may have already met her. We're thrilled to have her join our team and it is a pleasure for us to introduce you to her:

Dr. Maddie Redd grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. As a kid, she always enjoyed biology, medicine, and helping animals in her community, leading her on the path to veterinary medicine. She first attended Colorado State University where she studied biology and veterinary sciences, graduating in 2017 with a Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences. While in Fort Collins, CO, she spent a significant amount of time supporting the local community to provide pet care and veterinary services to community members in need and to the local shelter programs. She also worked within the veterinary clinical pathology lab running critical lab samples for numerous years before being accepted into the Veterinary program at Washington State University out in the beautiful Palouse. Dr. Maddie graduated veterinary school in May 2023. Her first job was in rural mixed animal practice on the southern Oregon coast where she worked on many different types of animals and cases from general care to emergency work. After finding out her partner was accepted to a position for work on the east coast, Dr. Maddie moved to New England in September 2024 to start a new adventure, joining Family Pet Veterinary Services in October 2024. Her interests in the field include internal medicine, urgent care, end-of-life care, small ruminant care and rural community medicine. Dr. Maddie is very passionate about working together with pet families to create and provide a health plan that ensures quality care for every pet over a lifetime.

When not in the clinic, you can most likely find Dr. Maddie out hiking or backpacking in the mountains with her dog Jade. She hopes to explore all the different trails New England and the east coast have to offer (and she is always looking for good recommendations!). She also loves traveling and trying new foods or ciders. If she's not on the trail or exploring, she spends much of her time caring for her 2 beloved cats, Oliver and Meeko, and her very special horse, a mustang named Snickers.

Dr. Maddie looks forward to this new chapter of life and getting to know the community!

Good morning everyone,

We have decided to close our office for today April 4th, 2024 due to weather conditions. Both our internet and telephone lines are down, which is likely the case for many of you. If you had an appointment scheduled today we will be reaching out to you once phone service is restored to reschedule.

Thank you for understanding and stay safe,
Family Pet

As spring inches ever closer, the new season will be bringing about some new changes at Family Pet. At the end of the month, we will be wishing Dr. Whitmore the best of luck as she transitions to a new role in the field of veterinary medicine. This new position will allow her the opportunity to work with a team focusing on ways to improve the utilization of recent technological advances to better serve all of the veterinary community from pets to pet parents to all levels of veterinary staff. Dr. Whitmore has enjoyed her time spent with Family Pet and the relationships she has developed with our wonderful clientele and hopes that her future work will help to further improve the relationship between veterinarians and those they serve.
Over the next few weeks, we will be welcoming some new faces as we expand the Family Pet team, so be on the lookout for their introductions and be sure to offer them a warm greeting as you get the opportunity to meet them!
