We are SO excited to introduce the newest addition to the North King Animal Clinic staff — Dr. Calvin Carrington!
A native of Western Massachusetts, Dr. Carrington has had a lifelong passion for animal care, nurtured from his early days working with his grandfather’s dairy cattle and participating in local 4-H groups.
Dr. Carrington earned his Bachelor's degree in Biology from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2016, followed by a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Tufts University in 2020. His career began in urgent care at the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital in South Deerfield, enhancing his skills in emergency veterinary medicine. His time spent at PetVet in Belchertown then brought him to his true passion: animal wellness and prevention.
Today, he also practices at Paws Finding Peace, a kind and compassionate at-home euthanasia service. Dr. Carrington recently completed the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA) Peaceful Euthanasia Master Program and he is proudly Fear Free Certified. His dedication across various aspects of veterinary medicine underscores his commitment to supporting pets and their families through all stages of life.
When not at work, Dr. Carrington loves hiking, traveling, and spending quality time at home with his partner and their five pets: puppy Polly and handsome Blomb (pictured above), and their three wonderful felines: Francis, Freya, and Fern.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Carrington to our community! We also want to assure you that Dr. Owen is not going anywhere! Her commitment to your pets remains unchanged, and her hours will continue as usual. We are simply growing our team to better serve the needs of you and your beloved pets.
