Day 5 of vet tech week and we are still celebrating our amazing team 🥳

Today we have another amazing veterinary assistant, Caitlyn 🐾

Caitlyn is from Luther, Oklahoma where she first found her love for animals and nature. As a little girl, her favorite activity was to explore outside in search of new furry creatures to call her friends. From those experiences stemmed an interest to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She graduated as Valedictorian from Luther High School in 2016 and in May 2018 she began shadowing Dr. Heatly. Later that year in August she took her current position of veterinary assistant here at Great Plains. Outside of work, Caitlyn enjoys spending time at home with her family. She still loves nature and being outdoors, especially to go on walks with her family and their dog. Caitlyn is one of the key parts to helping surgeries run smoothly and efficiently!

Thank you Caitlyn for all you do!!

Next up we have Emy🐾🐴

Emy grew up in Luther on her family’s fourth generation ranch. She has had a passion for animals ever since she could walk and was always dragging stray cats and dogs home, catching and bringing home lizards, turtles, rabbits, possums, skunks or whatever else she could find. Horses have always been a strong passion of Emy’s, having had the opportunity to grow up training horses and riding on hundreds of acres of land- to now being a breeder of Appaloosa horses. Her passion also lies in veterinary medicine where she has worked in different aspects since she was 16 years old, joining Great Plains Vet in 2017. She enjoys spending her free time with her husband and their many animals (dogs, cats, ducks, llamas, cattle, horses) on their ranch in Carney taking care of the horses and putting up hay, though she also loves to spend time in the mountains as much as she can.

Thank you Emy for all you do!!

From there, she met veterinarian, Dr. Grace Owen, who was willing to take a chance on someone with no idea what she was doing. Taylor has been Dr. Owen’s right hand man since 2022 and loving every minute of it. She also has started assisting with small animals and is always up to learning something new.
