Meet Our Staff

Dr. Ryan McCann is a 1996 graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, Dr. McCann spent four years in a mixed animal practice in Hannibal, MO, where he learned how to love below-freezing calf pulls and middle-of-the-night puppy mill cesareans. In 2000, Dr. McCann left Hannibal to pursue his own interests and built his first small animal veterinary clinic in Troy, MO, where he still practices today. His interests include all aspects of soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, most notably fracture plating and TPLO surgery. Dr. McCann also enjoys designing and building veterinary clinics. His newest clinic is located in busy Lake Saint Louis, MO, and run by his daughter, Dr. Hunter McCann-Tucker, and associate veterinarian Dr. Kaitlin Bishop, with another clinic coming soon in Wentzville, MO. Dr. McCann lives in Wildwood, MO, with his wife, Jill, of 27 years. They have three children, Aaron (Ayumi), Hunter (Collin), and Kellen, four grandchildren, five dogs, and one cat.

We are so excited for you to meet our newest DVM, Dr. Melodie Bloss!

Dr. Bloss knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age. After graduating from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, she and her husband moved to a small town in Southwest Missouri. She practiced at a mixed animal clinic there for six years and recently relocated to be closer to family. She and her husband, Kurtis, have two young daughters (Violet and Hazel), two dogs (Lexi and Bo), and one cat (June). She enjoys spending time with her family and being around animals in and outside of work.

Hi, My name is Taylor! I have been a Lead Veterinary Technician here at Animal Medical Center of Troy for nearly six years. I have three rescue fur babies, non-biological twins, Bodhi Lee and Waylon James, along with my cat, Grady Layne. I entirely enjoy all the veterinary field has to offer but especially caring for your furry friends and gaining long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Hi, My name is Emma! I have been a Veterinary Technician here at Animal Medical Center of Troy for two years. I am currently enrolled in Penn Foster to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. I have a three-year-old Black Labrador Retriever, Goose, and an 11-month-old Orange Kitten named Fozzy. I have grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep love and devotion towards them and providing care for them. I love seeing new faces and loving your fur babies as my own!

Hi, My name is Becca! I have been a Veterinary Technician at the Animal Medical Center of Troy for a year, and I have been a Registered Veterinary Technician for three and half years. My best friends are my dogs, Keeta and Ivy. Keeta is my five-year-old Blue Heeler who loves car rides and peanut butter. Ivy is my ten-month-old Labrador/mix who loves chasing tennis balls and her sister Keeta. I love being able to watch your fur babies grow.

Hi, My name is Heather! I grew up here in Troy, MO. Growing up, I always loved animals and spent a lot of time surrounded by horses. I now have one dog, one cat, and one horse of my own. I feel that working in the Veterinary industry is enjoyable and very rewarding. “Pets are the family we choose for ourselves.”

Hi, My name is April. I have been a receptionist here at Animal Medical Center of Troy for almost a year. I have been married for 23 years. I have two children, two grandchildren, and two loveable pets, Chubby and Toothless. I like spending as much time as possible outdoors, hiking, and working in the yard. I love working with all the animals.

Hi, my name is Jamie. I have been a receptionist here at Animal Medical Center of Troy for around three months. I have a loveable Siamese cat named Simon. I enjoy working here because I love seeing all your fur babies and helping care for them.

Hi, My name is Rosie. Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved animals. If I was at a friend’s house, I’d be petting the dogs instead of playing with the other kids. I volunteered at an animal shelter and got my first job in the grooming industry at age 17. Over a decade later, I can’t imagine doing anything else for a career and still get excited when I see a dog on the sidewalk. In my free time, I enjoy planning trips to national parks and doing anything outdoors. I have a German Shepard, a Golden/mix, and a cat.
