Macie


Macie

Hi! My name is Macie and I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician at the Claremont Veterinary Clinic. I attended the Bradford Vet Tech Institute and graduated with my Associates of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology in 2019. I finished out my internship at Claremont and have been an employee here since March of 2019. The handsome boy in the picture with me is my dog Tucker, or Tucker David when I’m using my “mom voice”. I also have a cat at home named Clare. I adopted her from the vet clinic when she came in with a litter of orphaned kittens, hence how she got her very original name. I may be young and just starting out my career, but I’m very passionate about what I do and promise to always give my best when it comes to the care and well being of your pets!

Oliver

This is Oliver, the clinic cat.  He came to the clinic through  the Ashland County Humane Society as a result of being abandoned by his owners years ago.  His professional position at the clinic is to keep the seats warm for the clients but unfortunately he is reluctant to give them up after getting them warm. He enjoys interacting with people and their pets and feels the need to stay close to the sickest of our patients.  We would like to think he is comforting them in  their time of need.  We appreciate all he does for our staff ,clients and patients as shown by our employees continued contribution to his obesity.  He is being held by Destiny LaFever who frequently gets to come to work with her mom Dr. Kristine LaFever.
