Let’s meet another wonderful member of the Uptown team!
Michelle graduated from Thompson Rivers University’s Veterinary Technician program in 2005. Always up for adventure, she volunteered as a wildland firefighter in 2003 and aided in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Her career has taken her across Canada, from Jasper to Newfoundland, with a strong focus on emergency medicine, where she met Dr. Cass and Dr. Riphagen. Wanting a more client-focused role, she joined the Uptown Animal Hospital team, where she plays a vital role in both in-clinic and remote veterinary support.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month! It’s a great time to remember the importance of choosing safe chews for our pets.
Certain bones can get stuck or even cause painful tooth fractures. A great alternative is CET chews, which provide both dental support and entertainment while keeping your pet safe. They are available in the clinic!

The team worked with Sadi to remove the bone and she is doing well!
