Comedy Meets Veterinary Medicine: Caitlin Palmer Takes WVC Vegas

Vet Candy Ambassador Brings Her Comedic Genius to the Best Conference on the Planet

When we asked Caitlin Palmer to be a Vet Candy ambassador for WVC Vegas 2026, we knew exactly what we were doing. You don't just send anyone to cover the most legendary veterinary conference in existence, you send someone who can capture the energy, the chaos, and the absolutely insane amount of continuing education happening all at once. You send The Desk Wench.

Your Comedy Tour Guide to Vegas

Starting this weekend, Caitlin will be recording live from WVC Vegas 2026, bringing you behind-the-scenes access to the lectures, the exhibit hall mayhem, and all the veterinary gossip you need. And trust us—if anyone can make conference coverage entertaining, it's this theater-major-turned-veterinary-receptionist-turned-comedy-queen.

Who Is Caitlin Palmer?

Caitlin isn't your typical conference ambassador. She's one of the first ever Certified Veterinary Receptionists, a TikTok star known for her alter ego "The Desk Wench," and the creative force behind some of Vet Candy's most popular shows. Her skits about the everyday chaos of vet clinic life—answering phones mid-cat-fight, juggling six appointments at once, surviving client meltdowns—have made her wildly relatable to anyone working in veterinary medicine.

But her talents don't stop at short-form videos. Together with her husband Clay, she co-hosts Brain Smarts (a hilarious game show about veterinary news) and The Cat Café on Pet Candy. She's also the star of All Creatures, Vet Candy's original scripted comedy podcast where she plays a lead veterinarian who secretly works for a covert government agency fighting zombies, the Mothman, and rogue chupacabras. Oh, and she's illustrating the series with her own original art. Because of course she is.

Why We Picked Her

A theater major with impeccable comedic timing, sharp writing skills, and the ability to make education entertaining? Caitlin is literally built for this. She knows how to capture moments, tell stories, and make you feel like you're right there in the action—even if you're watching from your clinic break room 2,000 miles away.

Plus, she gets it. She's been in the trenches of veterinary medicine. She knows the inside jokes, the frustrations, the small victories that make this profession what it is. And she can translate all of that into content that makes you laugh, think, and experience serious FOMO if you're not at WVC this year.

What to Expect

Caitlin will be dropping live content throughout WVC Vegas 2026, giving you the insider access and authentic coverage Vet Candy is known for. Expect humor. Expect behind-the-scenes moments. Expect the kind of conference coverage that actually makes you want to watch conference coverage.

Whether you're there and want to make sure you're hitting the right lectures, or you're stuck at home living vicariously through our ambassadors, Caitlin's got you covered.

The coverage starts this weekend. Let's go.
