I have always been interested in veterinary medicine, since I was little. In 2010, I started out at Centretown Veterinary Hospital volunteering as an assistant. I spent a year and a half learning everything I could, before heading off to technician's school. I graduated from Algonquin College in 2013 and achieved my status as a registered veterinary technician. I started at the clinic in January 2018 as a registered veterinary technician.
I'm most interested in studying sample collection and analysis in veterinary medicine. My first pet was a cat named Rascal, that I got from Santa Claus when I was six. My favourite part of my job is being hands-on in treating our patients. Centretown has a fantastic atmosphere, it makes it a great place to work! In my spare time, I run my own skincare business.
With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we are pleased to advise that effective May 19, 2020 the restrictions on veterinary practices have been lifted. Based on these changes, below are some important updates to our operating policies.
1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, heartworm testing, spays and neuters, dental services, and more!
2. SAFETY MEASURES TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
Continue our "closed waiting room" policy to protect our clients and staff. When you arrive, please remain outside the hospital and use your cell phone to call us. We will take a history of your pet's health and discuss any concerns. A staff member will direct you either to the back door located at the back of the parking lot if your pet is a dog. This is where you will open the door and tether your dog to the wall on the inside with the leash provided or for our cat friends the assistant will direct you to leave your cat at the front door in their carrier. The Veterinarian will call you to discuss the recommended treatment plan. After your appointment, a staff member will return your pet to the same place that you originally placed them at intake. We will take payment over the phone or by e transfer. Medications, food, certificates and all other supplies will be with your pet when you pick them up.
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method.
Continue with curbside pickup of food and medication (unless you have used our online store and are having your order delivered directly to your home). To place an order through our online store, visit our website and click on "Online Store".
3. ONLINE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE
If you wish to connect with a veterinarian via message, phone or video, visit our website and follow the "Online Consultation" link.
