Kelli strives to make each client and patient feel special and comfortable when caring for them. As part of this goal she spearheaded instituting ‘Bravery Certificates’ for patients that were undergoing surgical or in hospital care. It is because of her desire to provide this high quality care and dedication, alongside the initiative to go above and beyond for the clients and patients that she comes into contact with, that we are thrilled to have her become part of our team.
Kelli moved back to Canada earlier this year to be closer to family, but missed us all so much that she came back just a couple of months later and now commutes twice a week to us! The feelings were mutual and she was promoted to the position of Practice Manager for both Fetch the Vet M.V.P and our sister hospital East Aurora Veterinary Hospital. She is advancing her knowledge in practice management and is working hard behind the scenes in addition to her active role as one of our veterinary technicians on a day to day basis.

Eric Kancar LVT
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Eric was born and raised in the WNY area and has had a love for animals since a very early age. He has been a licensed veterinary technician since 2003. Eric spent over 2 decades at a local emergency/specialty referral/primary care hospital. It was there that he became skilled in all aspects of veterinary medicine including caring for sick, injured and critically hospitalized patients as well as caring for those patients that came in for routine wellness visits.
He was excited when the opportunity presented itself to join EAVH and its sister practice Fetch the Vet M.V.P. It enabled him to share his many years of experience and skill set while adding more diversity to the already established team.
During his lengthy career in veterinary medicine, one of the things Eric realized he loves the most are the people: the clients, his colleagues and his teammates alike. Eric is very much a people person and interacting with people is as much an important part of veterinary medicine as caring for the patients is, which he obviously also loves.
In his free time Eric loves spending time with his family, and friends that are family. He and his family live on a hobby farm in East Aurora where they have 2 mini donkeys, chickens, a garden koi pond (that he designed and built) 2 tortoises and 3 box turtles, as well as a dog and cats.
Eric also enjoys watching his sons play sports, landscape design, gardening, hiking, listening to music, collecting new vinyl records, reading, as well as watching and playing sports.
