VMCVM Student Spotlight: Cydney Suber , articleMeet Cydney Suber, a Class of 2029 veterinary student from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on the equine track. Cydney knew she wanted to be a veterinary from a young age -- her mother dubbed her Doc McStuffins.

Cydney said she always thought she was a dog person, until she met her cat Percy.
