Hi! I’m Melody Joy Cary, creator of Start a Vet Blog and several other blogs, for that matter.

I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I was the horse-crazy girl who wanted to be a farmer, zookeeper, or snake curator when I grew up.

My mom teases that my dream job changed every year, but it always involved animals!

I pursued this passion for animals in college by attending a veterinary technician program. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me, but I absolutely loved the experience I got through there and by working in two different veterinary clinics during that time.

After that, I worked with animals at two non-profit organizations, one in my home state of Michigan and the other in Honduras.

Now, I find myself with a husband, baby girl, and three pets. I’m not able to work with animals directly right now, so I finally brought my passion for animals together with my passion and talent for writing.

I launched my own business as a veterinary content writer. While that continues to be rewarding, I wanted to do even more for more people. Since I can only do so much writing in a day (especially with a busy 1-year-old to look after), I decided to lauch this site.

Now, I can teach veterinarians and all veterinary professionals how to use blogging and the internet to get more clients, share their stories, and earn some money on the side.
