RVT Spotlight, Say hello to Bev!🩵

Bev graduated in 1992 from the Animal Health Technology program (later renamed the Veterinary Technology program) at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, which has also since been renamed the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus.

Her career began at Kennedy Animal Hospital in Sydney, where she spent six years before joining the team at Baddeck Veterinary Clinic. She also served on the Board of Directors, including as Executive Director, for the Eastern Veterinary Technicians Association (EVTA) for nearly two decades.

Bev’s compassion, interpersonal skills and devotion to her patients and clients has been the foundation from which she has built her storied career, from surgery and behaviour cases to her current position as clinic manager.

But no matter her role, Bev’s focus has always been centred on the families who trust us with their pets, “I truly love getting to know them and cherish the stories that they share of their lives and their pets lives. I feel honoured to have been part of their beginning and feel blessed to have been there for them during their pet’s passing.”

When she’s not at work, Bev enjoys watching a good TV series with her daughter, Rori, enjoying a nice quiet drive while looking at thrift stores with her son, James, having a meal with her husband, Ian, & getting together with friends for tea & a chat.

Bev is an incredible asset and we are very fortunate to have her as part of our team!

RVT Spotlight, Say hello to Laura!💚

As a 2026 graduate of Dalhousie’s Veterinary Technology program, Laura is still discovering all the interesting roles and opportunities available to her as an RVT.

She is most excited to learn more about large animal medicine, emergency protocols, internal medicine and clinical pathology.

In her spare time, Laura enjoys creating art, travelling locally, and spending time with her family and friends, two cats and three pet rats.

Lauras’ innate kindness, curiosity and eagerness to learn have made her a valuable addition to our team and we are so pleased to welcome her as our newest RVT!

***While the new portal may also offer options for you to request an appointment and/or request a refill of your pet’s medication, we ask that you avoid using these features for the time being until we become more familiar with the client communication aspects of this new system.***

If you’d like to schedule an appointment or request a refill of your pet’s medication, we ask that you please continue to call the clinic and speak to a member of our team.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate our new system.

RVT Spotlight, Say hello to Maesey!❤️

Maesey joined us as a Veterinary Technician student in 2022 and joined our team upon her completion of the program the following year.

She is passionate about dentistry and equine medicine, with a particular interest in equine mobility and senior care.

Maesey is thoughtful, caring and compassionate, and those attributes shine through in the care she shows our hospitalized patients and the extra time she takes with clients during new puppy and kitten visits.

When she’s not at work, Maesey enjoys horseback riding, reading and spending time with her family.

Thank you for being part of the team, Maesey… and Happy Birthday!🎈
