With in that month, the third week in October specifically provides opportunity to recognize all their hard work, skill sets, expertise, and compassion they they bring, day-in and day-out to veterinary medicine.🐾🩺🐶🔬🐱💊💉

We thank them for:

•Being able to hit the tiniest veins on the most spicy patients

•Already having blood pulled and ran during medical appointments

•Carefully monitoring and recovering surgery patients

•Magically calming down nervous pets (and sometimes clients)

•Being the comfort for clients who just lost a beloved pet

•Being a wealth of knowledge on topics like nutrition, behaviour, and nursing techniques

•Executing hospitalized treatment plans with ease

•Unwavering support on the difficult days

•Advocating for all patients

This list doesn’t even scratch the surface and is only a condensed version on some of the many things as to why we are so thankful for our wonderful RVT’s!

If you have the time, please thank our RVT’s this week and let them know how incredible they are!

Walkerton-Hanover Veterinary Clinic and Hanover Veterinary Hospital are thrilled to announce the addition of two exceptional new graduate veterinarians to our team. They have been with us for a few months now, so some clients and patients may have already got the chance to meet these brilliant ladies.

Dr. Jacky Normandeau joins us in providing both small and large animal care and Dr. Kaitlin Doering joins us in providing small animal care. We are excited to have Dr. Normandeau and Dr. Doering as part of our team and look forward to the outstanding care they will provide to our community.

Dr. Jacky Normandeau was born and raised in Uxbridge, Ontario and received her undergraduate degree from Wilfrid Laurier University where she played varsity hockey and varsity soccer. She then headed out west for a Master’s degree from the University of Alberta researching elk parasites and migration in the Rocky Mountains. Dr. Normandeau enjoys routine and emergency medicine for all species, especially dairy herd health, equine dental floats, and small animal surgery. She graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2024 and will be serving both large and small animal clients.

Dr. Kaitlin Doering was born and raised in Waterloo and has enjoyed spending time with her family in Grey County since childhood. She received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University where she was a varsity hockey player and then pursued her Masters in Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph. Dr. Doering enjoys surgery, diagnostic imaging, emergency medicine and lifelong care from adolescent to senior aged pets. She graduated from Ontario Veterinary College in 2024 and joined the team at Hanover Veterinary Hospital providing care for our canine and feline patients.

Hanover held their annual Fall Fair this past weekend, which had a Children’s Pet Show. A couple RVT’s from the clinic were part of the judging crew for the show and it was a great turn out!🎪🙌🏻

We had a large variety of dogs, one cat, a few chickens and even a turtle! 🐕‍🦺🐈🐔🐢

It looked like everyone had a blast, the pets were all well behaved and everyone was able to place in a few different categories.

We appreciate everyone’s help in making the Children’s Pet Show such a success and look forward to next years turnout!☺️
