Jill graduated from Centralia Agricultural College as an animal health technician in 1985. She has nearly 30 years of experience in the veterinary profession, worked as the head technician at Annex for 10 years and has been managing the practice for over 15 years now. Jill loves working with the terrific team of dedicated staff members at a progressive hospital, and she loves working with pets and providing the care they require. Jill has dedicated most of her life to the care of animals and has rescued many pets over the years including a budgie, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Jill recently adopted a scruffy rescue terrier named Jackson. He often keeps her company in the office at work. Jill spends much of her spare time on long walks in the local Toronto parks with her husband and Jackson as well as baking, cake decorating, reading and camping. Jill also enjoys participating in annual fundraiser events for pet cancer research.
Tick Prevention Recommended
Tick prevention remains a priority for our pets this spring: As the temperatures rise above 4 degrees, ticks become active and quest for food. Toronto Parks, woodland trails, grassy regions, and leaf piles all have the potential to contain ticks just waiting to hitch a ride on pets and humans. As we are already seeing pets with ticks this spring, our veterinarians feel that it is important to maintain vigilance by using tick protection on our pets.
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 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.
