Technician

I graduated from Maritime Business College in July 2018 and wrote and passed my VTNE in December of the same year. I completed my externship at a veterinary hospital in Halifax before joining the team at Spryfield Animal Hospital. I chose this field not only for my love of animals but also for the medical aspects it offers. Being a veterinary technician means so much more than caring for sick animals. It's about the everyday routines and procedures from spays/neuters and vaccines to taking x-rays and aiding the doctor in a diagnosis of a possible disease. I enjoy working in the lab creating blood-smears and glancing at ear cytologies for bacteria and parasites. I also enjoy aiding in surgery, whether it be monitoring or prepping a patient. I love meeting the patients and their loving families and the people I work with are amazing and incredibly supportive.

Fun fact about myself is that I have a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts (Visual).

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

Effective April 23, 2021, we will be operating under a "closed door" 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 over the phone or using our portable machine at your vehicle. They will bring any items going home to you at your vehicle.
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.
