Dr. Tracy Sealy

Dr. Tracy Sealy’s lifelong aspiration to become a veterinarian was realized upon graduating in 2015 with honors from the University of the West Indies with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Though she adores all creatures, her focus lies primarily on small animals, particularly dogs and cats. Yet, her curiosity extends to every new challenge, especially when exotic cases arise.

Following her graduation, Dr. Sealy dedicated her time to volunteering, initially at Total Loving Care and later at The Veterinary Clinic in Graeme Hall until 2020. Subsequently, she joined Trinity Animal Clinic as a volunteer before transitioning into a full-fledged staff member.

Beyond her professional commitments, Dr. Sealy finds joy in physical fitness, spurred by her passion for training and aiding others. Encouraged by friends, she pursued certification as a personal trainer. In her leisure, she indulges in hobbies such as baking and sewing, with recent ventures into salsa and bachata dancing whenever time allows.
