Hi! I’m Abbie
I’m originally from beautiful Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, but I’ve been lucky to call Alberta home for the past 13 years. I graduated from the Veterinary Medical Assistant program in 2014 and have loved every minute of working in veterinary medicine since!
I’ve always had a huge passion for animals and feel so grateful to spend my days helping them live a pet’s best life. I especially love the surgical side of veterinary medicine — it’s where I feel most in my element, supporting pets through their care and recovery.
When I’m not at the clinic, you can usually find me camping, hiking, or exploring the mountains with my best adventure buddy (and the love of my life), my dog Penelope <3
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!
