🐾Employee Spotlight: Meet Will! 🐾

Will recently completed his first year at Atlantic Veterinary College after graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2024 with a degree in Animal Science. While earning his degree, he balanced academics with Division I football, demonstrating the dedication and work ethic that continue to drive him today.

Although this is Will’s first summer with us, he has become a valued member of the VACC team, working as a veterinary technician and gaining hands-on experience in animal care. His passion for veterinary medicine and commitment to learning have helped prepare him for the next steps in his journey toward becoming a veterinarian.

When he’s not in the clinic, you can find Will fishing, working out, or enjoying the outdoors.

We’re proud to be a part of Will’s veterinary journey and can’t wait to see all he accomplishes! 💙🐾

At Veterinary Associates of Cape Cod, we are proud to partner with The Sampson Fund for Veterinary Care, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping critically ill or injured pets receive the care they need when financial hardship might otherwise stand in the way. Through this partnership, we can help provide access to life-saving veterinary treatment for pets and families across Cape Cod and the Islands, reinforcing our shared belief that no pet should be denied care solely because of financial circumstances. Together, we are committed to preserving the special bond between people and their pets and supporting the well-being of our community, one patient at a time.

We’re grateful to Veterinary Associates of Cape Cod for being one of our valued affiliate hospitals. 🐾

Since 1975, they’ve provided compassionate, high-quality veterinary care to pets across the Cape, led by a team that truly understands the bond between pets and their families.

🐾✨ Employee Spotlight: Maddy ✨🐾

Ever since she was young, Maddy knew veterinary medicine was her calling. More than a decade ago, after helping clean up and care for a pug with an injured paw at a veterinary office, she discovered a passion that has only grown stronger with time.

Now a sophomore at the University of Rhode Island majoring in Animal Science on the pre-veterinary track, Maddy is working toward her goal of attending veterinary school after graduation. She began interning with VACC during her senior year of high school and has loved gaining hands-on experience in the field ever since.

Maddy says that being part of the VACC team has been a dream come true, allowing her to learn, grow, and make a difference while doing what she loves most, caring for animals. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see the difference you make as a veterinarian 💚🐾
