Kelsey has been part of the veterinary world since 2018 and is a proud graduate of the Veterinary Medical Receptionist program at Olds College (Class of 2021). Her lifelong passion for animal care, combined with her natural leadership skills and love for people, naturally led her into her current role as Hospital Manager at Thrive Vet Care. Kelsey is dedicated to creating an exceptional experience for both pets and their people — she thrives on building genuine connections with clients and is often found sneaking in extra snuggles with the four-legged visitors who stop by the clinic. When she’s not at work, you’ll find Kelsey either exploring the mountains or cozying up at home watching Disney movies with her husband and son. Her own furry (and fluffy!) family includes two Labradors, Willow and Maple, two cats, Tetley and Chai, and two rabbits, Benjamin and Ronnie — so she knows firsthand just how special our animal companions truly are. Above all, Kelsey is passionate about helping every pet live their best life. She looks forward to welcoming you to Thrive Vet Care and meeting you and your beloved companions soon!
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!
