Dr. Kaitlin Zelman grew up in Barnstable and graduated from Cape Cod Academy. She then went on to receive her undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University and spent many summers working at Hyannis Animal Hospital as a veterinary technician. After receiving her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania, she returned home to Cape Cod to rejoin the Hyannis Animal Hospital team. While she loves all aspects of medicine, her special interests include surgery and behavior. Recently, she completed her Fear Free Certification and looks forward to applying this new knowledge in order to make veterinary visits less stressful for animals and owners alike. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, her dog, Penelope, and her cat, Priscilla.
