Tracy

Tracy graduated from the Veterinary Technology program at St. Lawrence College in 1998 and has worked as a Registered Veterinary Technologist at TIVS ever since. Tracy also taught part time in the Veterinary Technology program at St. Lawrence College in Kingston for more than 10 years.

At TIVS, Tracy’s special interests are anesthesia, pain control, reproduction, behaviour and the human-animal bond. Tracy is a member of the Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians. She also recently became certified as a Pet Bereavement Specialist. Tracy has been a long time employee of Thousand Islands Veterinary Services and she attributes that to feeling like the staff is a big family that works together to provide the best care and veterinary experience to our patients and their families. Customer service and client relations are very important to Tracy. She is very happy to be the clinic Hospital Manager to be able to work with our staff and clients to make your experience at TIVS, the best it can be!

Tracy grew up on a dairy farm and her family had beef cattle and horses as well. Tracy and her husband Shawn live on a hobby farm in Elgin. They have a small flock of Katahdin sheep. Tracy also breeds Border Collies and she jokes that she got the sheep to keep the dogs happy and employed! Tracy lives with her Border Collies: Freya, Ember, Cara, Luna, and Picard. She is well aware that she is on the verge of becoming a ‘Crazy Dog Lady’! Tracy’s cats Giles, Bizzaro, Solo & Yoda are perhaps the most spoiled barn cats ever!

Outside of work Tracy enjoys spending time with her dogs outside, reading, spending time with her awesome nephews and helping out on the family dairy farm.
