Emma grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, and her love of animals began at a very young age. After high school, Emma moved to Vancouver to pursue an animal biology degree before moving back to Calgary for veterinary school at the University of Calgary. Emma graduated in 2023, and spent a year in mixed animal practice before moving to work primarily with small animals. Emma is passionate about many aspects of veterinary medicine, but especially enjoys senior and geriatric health and medicine. Outside of work, Emma enjoys summers
hiking, backpacking, and traveling, and winters skiing or cozying up with a good book.
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!
