Hello, my name is Dr. Nicholas Mallory and I am an associate veterinarian at Rensselaer Pet Care. I received my Bachelor of Science and my Bachelor of Arts from St. Joseph College. I went on to study veterinary medicine at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. My wife and I have two cats, Cheddar and Bowie, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Benedict Harold. When we are not spending time with family and friends, we love to travel and try local food and breweries. I have a passion for radiology, cardiology, and surgery. Being part of a family that loves animals has given me a desire to always be the voice for those who cannot speak. I am very fortunate to be a member of this wonderful team at Rensselaer Pet Care.

I have worked for Rensselaer Pet Care since 1980 after graduating from the Medical Institute of Minnesota. I live in Rensselaer with my husband Rob and we have three adult children. We have a Labrador Retriever named Tony, and a Chihuahua named Sissy. I have always loved working with animals and enjoy helping people. Working at Rensselaer Pet Care has been very rewarding and we are like a large family.

Bio Coming Soon!

When I’m not working I enjoy hunting, fishing and getting out on the boat with my husband and son. During the winter I enjoy baking for family and friends. I also love Halloween time, and trying new coffee spots and cafes. I have two German Shorthaired Pointer dogs, a cat, a snake, various fish, chickens, ducks, and geese at home.

Outside of work, I’m a mother first to a wonderful little boy who keeps me inspired, grounded, and full of purpose. Being a mom has taught me patience, empathy, and multitasking-all skills I bring with me into the clinic every day. After hours, you can find me enjoying a peaceful afternoon with a novel, experimenting with composition behind the lens, or tending to my budding plant collection. I find joy in caring-for animals, for my family, and for my well being. I’m dedicated to making a positive difference in every life I touch, four-legged or two.

You have seen me here and there at RPC for around ten years, wearing many hats (and hair colors!). I have a Bachelor of Science from St. Joseph’s College, and every day is still a great day to be a Puma! I began my journey as a receptionist part time while teaching. I grew up on a farm and have cared for many animals, and this definitely inspired my career change. I became a full-time employee, trained as a kennel attendant and eventually assistant. Life had me moving around the state throughout the years, but I remained in the veterinary profession and returned to RPC full force, taking on more responsibilities as we have grown. I have two cats, Luci and Raz, and continue to help on the family farm with lots and lots of chickens.
