See your veterinarian for equine dental care
Professional dental care is an essential part of animal health. This complex treatment can involve anesthesia and pain control, surgery and various medical and reconstructive procedures. Trust the care of your animal to a registered veterinarian.
for horses began at a very young age and has been the primary focus of my M ylife.passion I saved up and bought my ďŹ rst horse at age eleven and still have him today along with another gelding, a broodmare, and another leased mare that I am hoping to get my next prospects out of this coming year. I rode just about every discipline of riding growing up but dressage and jumping are my favorites. School came pretty easy for me as a child so I decided to become a vet around the age of ten with the thought of combining my academic ability with my love of horses. I was in Pony Club and 4-H for many years and got a good basic knowledge of horse care through those clubs.
G
etting the acceptance letter from veterinary school after several years of college and univeristy in order to complete all of the prerequisites was one of the best days of my life. I understood how competitive it was and becoming a vet was absolutely the only career I was interested in so it was pretty stressful wondering if I would ever get in, and therefore a huge relief when it ďŹ nally happened!

I would do soley equine work when I graduated, so in school I chose to do all of the I thought equine electives and ďŹ lled my practical year with mostly equine rotations. I stayed longer in Saskatoon the summer before my ďŹ nal year doing a six-week equine rotation that included medicine, surgery, and ďŹ eld service in order to get more cases during the busier time of year. This enabled me to get much more experience with reproductive work, foal medicine, general medicine, surgery, ďŹ eld work, and a lot more training with equine dental work.
I graduated from the Western College of W hen Veterinary Medicine in 2011 I started work with
an equine vet in the West Kootenays and did strictly equine work for the ďŹ rst few months. Come late summer, the equine work slowed down and it was time to look for small animal or mixed work. That is when I approached Dr. McLeod and was very lucky to get on at the Creston Veterinary Clinic where we see all animal species. I really like Creston and I love the clinic and the staff so I hope I will be working here for a very long time.
