CRS/VA

I graduated from Eastern College in November of 2010, after completing the Veterinary Administrative/ Assistant Program. I started my work placement at the Spryfield Animal Hospital in September of 2010 and have worked here ever since.

I got into this profession because, like all of us, I have a love of animals. I believed it was a career I could grow in, and want to work in for many years.

My favourite part of the job is learning and education clients on prescription foods and nutrition. I also love learning about behaviour and training in dogs.

I have two cats: Tally and Tyke, and a dog named Tucker at home. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time outside- hiking with Tucker, riding horses, and kayaking.

Dear Clients,

With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we have made 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

As of November 25th, we will be operating under a "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 then meet you outside to bring your pet into the hospital for an examination. The Veterinarian will call you to discuss the recommended treatment plan. After your appointment, a staff member will return your pet to you outside, and take care of any needed medications and payment.
We will continue to offer 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".
Continue the use of credit cards as the preferred payment method. Cash will also be accepted.
The washrooms are for staff only until further notice.

3. OPERATING HOURS

We are available to serve you and your pets during the following hours:

Monday to Friday: 7:30 am - 8:00 pm
Saturday: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Sunday: CLOSED
