Meet Our Veterinary Team
Dr. Vicki
Dr. Vicki is a born and raised Wisconsinite. Originally from Shawano, WI, she is a Class of ‘98 graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. She then spent a year in Michigan for her internship before her 8 years in Iowa where she underwent the training to become a board-certificated small animal surgeon. To keep things interesting, she also completed a concurrent PhD in genetics. Her focus for her PhD was the genetics of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in the Newfoundland dog. Her passion is the treatment of cruciate disease, and surprisingly not always with surgery. After being a faculty member at Iowa State University, she transferred to the University of Minnesota Small Animal Surgery Department for six years before venturing out into private practice in northwest Wisconsin.
Dr. Vicki recently bought All About Animals from Dr. Bruce Cunliffe and underwent a name change to Specialized Veterinary Care of Shawano (SVCS). Prior to SVCS, she owned the Glenwood City Veterinary Clinic from 2013 to 2022 where she expanded her knowledge base to be able to provide additional services for her patients. Her most recent adventure was to become certified in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (VSMT). This is analogous to chiropractic medicine for animals. Prior to that, she received additional training in dog reproduction. Her future goals for the clinic are the addition of rehabilitation services for dogs and cats. The clinic now offers a range of therapeutic treatments and services.
Dr. Bruce
Dr. Bruce Cunliffe graduated from the University of Minnesota with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1988. He worked as a relief veterinarian in a small animal, avian and exotic practice for a short time before accepting a position at Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Minneapolis. It was there that he met his wife Julie, who was working as a certified veterinary technician.
After working there for a few years, he began teaching Veterinary Technicians at the Medical Institute of Minnesota. He became the VT Program Director and held that position for 6 years before becoming Director of Education for the Institute.
In 1996, he took a short hiatus from veterinary medicine, earning a Master’s degree in Horticulture. He moved to Wisconsin in 2000 and operated a nursery for 15 years while continuing to work part time as a veterinarian. He worked at We Care Animal Hospital in Clintonville for 8 years before joining All About Animals Veterinary Clinic in 2008.
Bruce and his wife Julie have two sons, Andrew and Ben, two daughter in laws, and three granddaughters who are the highlight of their life, Sophia, Lyla and Callie. They also have a dog, Ayana and a cat, Darlin’. In Dr. Bruce’s free time he enjoys spending time with family and friends, gardening, camping and serving at their church.
Dr. Jammie
Dr. Jammie grew up in Gresham, WI. He graduated from UW-Platteville in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

He was the sole owner of Seymour Veterinary Hospital, LLC in Seymour from 2014 until 2021 and worked as an associate veterinarian in Oconto Falls until August 2024.
