Dr. Dawn grew up in Somerset, rural England. She graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2002 and moved to Manitoba immediately after graduation. Dawn began her career in mixed animal practice, which allowed her to build skills with many species, as well as narrow down some fields of higher interest. After moving to Alberta in 2005, Dawn pursued predominantly small animal practice; which suited her love for surgery and urgent care. Dawn has advanced training in the field of veterinary dentistry and a passion for providing individual patient care and maintaining close communication with owners at all times.
Outside of work, Dawn enjoys regular workouts in the gym, golf and travelling as much as possible. Dawn considers her greatest accomplishment is being called Mom, by her two beautiful daughters.
Jeff graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1997 and then continued on to Florida to complete a veterinary internship. While in Florida, Jeff focused on canine behavior and dermatology as he had a special interest in these areas which he still does to this day. Jeff is an experienced veterinarian dedicated to helping animal lovers and their pets strengthen their relationship, health, and quality of life together. A vision fueled by his love for his three rescue pets, Rocco, a Lab mix, Coco a Great Pyrenees mix, and Bandit, a domestic longhair cat with 2 different colored eyes.
Throughout his career, Jeff observed key principles in animal care and discovered a passion for business that led to him building his own vet clinics and pet resorts. It’s Jeff’s sense of humor, contagious energy, and aptitude for business and behavior that has been key in the success of his clinics. Jeff is at the heart of helping each of our teams practice gold standard medicine and be a trusted cornerstone in our community!
