Shannon, RVT

Registered Veterinary Technician

Shannon was born and raised in Osgoode and loves to call this place her hometown. She has recently moved to Russel with her little hamster, Rachel, and her loveable cat, Steve. She graduated from the Algonquin College Veterinary Technician program in the spring of 2019 and passed her VTNE, making her our newest Registered Veterinary Technician. She has a love for dogs and cats, as well as all sorts of exotics. During her schooling, she loved working downstairs with the Zoo Crew hanging out with all the birds, reptiles and rodents. She’s extremely excited to start her career as an RVT and is even more excited to be helping our clients and their furry loved ones.

Dear Clients,

With recent changes to restrictions on businesses, we are pleased to advise that we are deemed an essential service and will remain open with the following safety measures in place.

1. WE CAN NOW SEE ALL CASES BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This includes vaccines, wellness exams, blood work, 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 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.
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.

4. OPERATING HOURS

We are OPEN with the following hours:

Monday to Friday: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Saturday & Sunday: Closed
