**Announcement**
We will be supporting Dr. Jamey during a short sabbatical starting this summer. The following is a letter from him:
May 2026 marks my 25th year of service at the Mount Brydges Animal Clinic! Having graduated in 2001, this was my first veterinary job which flourished into a commitment of care to the community, ownership of the practice and a diverse skillset. My loyalty quickly developed given the growing need in the area, the wide variety of interesting cases and, most
importantly, the kindness of the people. I was immediately welcome and was mentored by the veterinary team when I joined. I have been able to pay it forward in my leadership role. I am confident and proud of our team.
The building is cinderblock and mortar, so it stands firm and it is here for the ages. It proves its relevance as the care from within freely aligns with the inevitable changes over time.
The change I personally need, requires time away from the practice. A sabbatical defines it properly. My last day will be June 30, 2026 and I will be away for a minimum of 2 months. My 25 years have been uninterrupted, so a break like this is unfamiliar to me. The intention is rejuvenation and that will take the time it will take. To be of best service to the ones I care about, requires I take proper care of myself.
The Mount Brydges Animal Clinic has consistently provided compassionate care with high standards of medicine because of “like-minded” people. Personal growth is encouraged and supported with the benefits realized by our patients and their respective humans who entrust them in our care. Looking back on it, many of the days were long, but the years went by quickly!
I will be returning in the capacity of doing surgical procedures that are more complicated, mentorship and coverage when there are veterinary shortages. I am grateful for the relationships, trust and support shared with so many
fantastic people over these years. Mount Brydges Animal Clinic is a career home for me.
My sincere Thank You!
Jamey Osmond
