Culture – Inclusive, honest, and built on uplifting the next generation
We’re not just another CE provider or media brand—we’re a movement, helping veterinary professionals thrive in (and beyond) their careers.
How It Started
Vet Candy was founded in 2019 by Dr. Jill López, a veterinarian who saw firsthand how many of her colleagues were burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their “why.” She imagined a new kind of platform—one that combined credible education with real-talk lifestyle content and a whole lot of personality.
What started as a newsletter grew quickly into something bigger: a trusted voice in veterinary media, with a reach in the millions and a mission that resonates across exam rooms, classrooms, and conference stages.
Expanding Our Impact
Since 2019, we’ve:
Launched a network of top-rated podcasts and video series
Built a CE library watched by tens of thousands of vet pros
Created platforms that spotlight rising stars, changemakers, and innovators
Partnered with leaders across the industry to make sure everyone has a seat at the table
And we’re just getting started.
At Vet Candy, we’re not here to tell you how to be a vet—we’re here to help you become the best version of yourself, in scrubs and beyond.
