Say hey to Cassidy🐾💙

Cassidy has been in the veterinary world for over 4 years, and we’ve been lucky to have her here at Village for the past 2! Originally from Tennessee, she spent a few years traveling across the U.S. with her husband Kenny’s job—until she put down roots right here after welcoming their adorable daughter, Valerie. 👨‍👩‍👧🏡

Cassidy is a proud wife, mom, and animal lover, sharing her home with 2 dogs and 1 cat. 🐶🐶🐱 She’s currently looking to earn her veterinary technician license—go Cassidy! 💪📚

You’ll see her doing it all around the clinic: greeting you at the front desk, assisting with technician appointments, or teaming up with our doctors in rooms. Wherever she is, she brings warmth, dedication, and a whole lot of heart. 💕

When she’s off the clock, Cassidy loves spending time with her family, catching dirt track races, and jamming out to some good ol’ country music. 🎶🏁

We’re so grateful to have Cassidy as part of our Village family—she truly does it all!

🌟 Meet Willow – A Little Fighter with a BIG Heart! 💖🐾

Sweet little Willow, a Miniature Schnauzer with a huge personality, came to Village for her very first puppy visit after being adopted — and what a journey she’s had since!

At just a few weeks old, Willow was diagnosed with a grade 5 heart murmur — that’s very serious for such a tiny pup. Dr. Amanda quickly referred her to the amazing team at the UT Vet School's cardiology department for a deeper look.

There, Willow was diagnosed with a congenital condition called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) — a defect that causes abnormal blood flow in the heart. Thankfully, this condition can be fixed with surgery — and her loving family didn’t hesitate.

💪 In December, Willow underwent heart surgery... and it was a huge success! After the procedure, her heart murmur was gone, and by March her echocardiogram showed a completely healthy heart. 🎉

Now, Willow is back to living her best life — running, playing, and bringing endless joy to her family. She's on track to live a long, happy, and healthy life!

Help us celebrate Willow’s amazing story! 💕🐶 Drop a ❤️ in the comments for this brave little girl!

🦎✨ Happy World Lizard Day! ✨🦎
Today we’re giving a little extra love to our scaly friends!

Thinking about adding a reptile to your family?
Here are a few things to know before you leap into lizard life:
✅ Warm & Cozy – Reptiles rely on YOU to keep their habitat at the perfect temperature and humidity.
✅ Long-Term Buddies – Some lizards can live for decades!
✅ Special Diets – Bugs, veggies, or both—mealtime isn’t one-size-fits-all.
✅ Healthy & Happy – A vet visit isn’t just for cats and dogs. Reptiles need regular checkups, too! We offer reptile care here at Village!
✅ Safety First – Good handwashing after handling keeps everyone safe (yes, even you!).

🌿 Whether you’re a lizard lover or just lizard-curious, knowledge is the first step to being a responsible reptile owner. Check out the AVMA’s tips here: https://www.avma.org/resources/pet-owners/petcare/selecting-pet-reptile

Say hi to Camden, one of our awesome vet assistants and a future DVM superstar! 🩺🐾 He’s about to kick off his second year at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (go Vols! 🧡), and we couldn’t be prouder!

Camden’s been part of the Village family since 2022—before he even started vet school—and it’s been a joy watching him grow (even if Sardine, his beloved kitty, totally steals the spotlight 🐱💁‍♂️).

When he's not caring for your pets, Camden’s out hiking, hitting the gym 💪, or exploring new foodie spots with his girlfriend Amber. 🍔🌮🍜

Fun fact: he’s the youngest in his family, but don’t let that fool you—this guy is going places!

Drop a comment to wish Camden good luck in his next year of vet school. We’re so proud to have him on our team! 💙🐾

Say hi to Hana! 🐾


She’s been rocking the vet med world for 10 years and has been a licensed vet tech for 5. Originally from the beautiful Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Hana made her way to Knoxville, TN.

Before joining us at Village Vet over two years ago, she worked at a fast-paced emergency teaching hospital — so she’s seen it all! While emergency medicine still holds a special place in her heart ❤️, she’s loved growing her skills in general practice. Running anesthesia, assisting in surgery, doing dental cleanings, building connections with our awesome clients, and being part of a fun and supportive team? She’s all in. 🙌

When Hana’s not saving furry lives, you can find her soaking up the outdoors with her fiancé Robby, planning her October wedding 💍, or hanging by the bonfire 🔥. She’s always down for an adventure — especially one that includes her three dogs 🐶🐶🐶 and her cat 🐱 (yes, on a harness — iconic).

We’re lucky to have you, Hana! 💙

🎉 Staff Saturday! 🐾

Say hello to Tori! She began her journey with us back in August 2021, and we’ve been lucky to have her ever since.

Born in Georgia but raised right here in East Tennessee, Tori’s love for animals started early. At just 15, she began working at the Knoxville Zoo—because, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to hang out with animals all day? 🦁🐒 That passion stuck with her through high school and into college at TWU... but then life took a little unexpected (and awesome) turn!

While in college, Tori discovered a new calling—missionary work. Through A Christian Ministry in the National Parks, she spent time living on a mountain in North Carolina, surrounded by nature and doing good for others. Her passion for helping both animals and people eventually led her to us here at VVMC, and we couldn't be more grateful. 💛

Over the past four years, Tori has grown at the clinic! She started in the kennels, worked her way up to veterinary assistant, got certified, and now she’s the one training our new team members in vet assistant and nurse appointments.

Tori has a special place in her heart for our senior patients and always makes sure every pet's visit is fear-free and filled with compassion. That love deepened even more when she rescued her sweet boy, Oliver. 🐶

When she’s not at VVMC, you can find Tori teaching kickboxing classes alongside her mom and older brother at Tennessee Tae Kwon Do and Judo College (go, family goals! 🥋), or out on the trails hiking with her dog, River.

Tori’s energy and spirit make every day brighter around here. We're so lucky to have her on the team! 💪🌈🐕

🐾 As Veterinary Assistant Week comes to an end, we want to take a moment to celebrate our incredible veterinary assistants! 🐾
Their compassion, hard work, and dedication make an impact on every pet and person who walks through our doors. From helping with appointments to offering comfort during tough moments, they truly are the peanut butter to our Jelly— essential, comforting, and holding it all together with care. 🥜💙

We are so grateful for everything they do behind the scenes and on the front lines.

Help us show them some love in the comments — a thank you goes a long way! 🐶🐱💐

🦦 Meet Moose the Ferret 🦦

Did you know ferrets make playful, curious, and affectionate pets—but they have some unique care needs?

Here are a few tips to keep your ferret happy and healthy:

✅ Diet Matters – Ferrets are obligate carnivores, meaning they need a high-protein, meat-based diet. Avoid sugary treats!

🏠 Safe Space – Give them a secure enclosure AND daily supervised playtime. They love to explore and can squeeze into the tiniest spots.

🧼 Litter Training – Yes, it's possible! Most ferrets will pick a corner—use that to your advantage.

💉 Vet Care – Ferrets need annual exams, vaccinations (especially for distemper), and regular dental checks.

🦷 Ferret-Proofing is a Must – Keep cords, foam, and small objects out of reach. Ferrets are sneaky!

Got questions about ferret care or looking to schedule an exotic pet exam? Give us a call or visit our website to book online—we love helping all your furry (and feisty) friends! 💚

📸 Drop a pic of your ferret in the comments—we want to see those adorable faces!

🎉 Staff Saturday 🎉

If you’ve been around here long enough, you definitely know our Technician, Courtney! She joined us way back in 2017 and has been keeping us on our toes (and laughing) ever since.

Courtney’s got a serious resume — she’s worked in multiple clinics and brings emergency experience to the team. She even moonlights at a local emergency vet just to keep her skills razor-sharp 💪.

When she’s not mentoring new team members or contributing to a positive team dynamic with her quick wit, Courtney enjoys spending time with her dogs; Sydney and Elly, and her feline sidekick, Schmeow.

Off the clock, she’s repping the Carolina Hurricanes like a true fan, devouring fantasy books like there’s no tomorrow, and vibing to music from literally every genre.

We’re seriously lucky to have Courtney on our team — brains, heart, and the best one-liners in the building.

🌟 Staff Saturday🌟

Say hello to Abby — one of the friendly faces you’ll see at Village Veterinary Medical Center! Abby wears many hats as both a veterinary assistant and customer service representative, and we’re so lucky to have her on our team.

When Abby joined us in 2022, she didn’t have prior veterinary experience — but that didn’t stop her one bit! Her quick thinking, eagerness to learn, and can-do attitude made her a standout from day one. Since then, she’s jumped into roles across every department at the clinic and continues to be a total rockstar.

Outside of work, Abby keeps busy with her beautiful family! She loves exploring local breweries with her husband Cody 🍻, soaking up lake days with her three girls ☀️, and relaxing at home with her fur crew: three adorable pups (Wallen, Hardy, and C**t 🐶) and one fabulous feline named Mavis 🐱.

We’re so grateful for everything Abby brings to VVMC — be sure to say hi next time you see her!
