Welcome to the August issue of Vet Candy! This month, we’re beyond excited to shine a spotlight on Caitlin Palmer—one of the first-ever Certified Veterinary Receptionists and a true creative force in our field.

Caitlin doesn’t just star in the show—she’s also writing and illustrating it, blending storytelling, humor, and veterinary insight like never before.
