• Katrina – Hospital Manager, Veterinary Technician
  • Katrina has been a lover of animals all her life.  The love affair started as a child on her great-grandmothers farm where she was constantly fussing with all the animals.  It became more apparent with each critter that managed to “follow” her home  (Kittens, Pigeons, a vast array of rodents…).  She started working in Animal Hospitals in 2007 and hasn’t looked back.  She can be spotted around the clinic either assisting in surgery, helping with appointments, grooming or schmoozing with the clients.  Outside of work she can be found chasing her dog Mila through various parks in the area.

• Kelly – Receptionist, Veterinary Assistant
  • Kelly has several years experience working in veterinary hospitals in the GTA.  She helps comfort anxious dogs and cats while handling them during their veterinary visit.  Kelly has a rescue cat at home, who also benefits from her diligent care.
• Francesca – Receptionist, Veterinary Assistant
  • Francesca joined our team in 2023.  She is experienced in gentle animal care and handling and is eager to assist you with your pet care needs!
• Gryphon – Official Clinic Mascot, Greeter, and Paper Shredder
  • Gryphon is our all star clinic mascot!  He is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle.  Gryphon was born in October 2014.  He claims to be impeccably trained, and will do just about anything for treats!  If he’s not too busy sleeping he will happily accept a quick pat from our clients, so please stop in for a visit today!
