Dr. Ariel Paul Rupa

Dr. Ariel’s path in veterinary medicine has been an adventure that spans continents. After graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Visayas State University in the Philippines in 2016, he began his career

in swine medicine, gaining valuable hands-on experience before expanding his training through an internship in the United States.

In 2020, Dr. Ariel moved to Canada and eventually made Edmonton home, where he practiced small animal medicine and continued to develop his clinical and surgical skills. He is now excited to bring his experience and compassionate approach to caring for pets and their families in the Airdrie community.

Dr. Ariel has a strong interest in dentistry and soft tissue surgery and enjoys continuing to refine these skills as he grows in his veterinary career.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Ariel enjoys hiking Alberta’s beautiful trails, road-tripping through the Rockies, discovering new restaurants, and traveling the world. His curiosity, love for learning, and adventurous spirit are the same qualities he brings to every patient he cares for.
