Janet was born and raised within the heart of Ottawa with her first real introduction to agriculture being an educational program she participated in, in which she was required to work on a farm. In 1985 she graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College and started working as a full time veterinarian at the Brockville Animal Hospital.
In April of 2010 Janet became a member of our management team. With her farming background and wide range of experience with exotics and pocket pets, Janet has worked on everything from cows and horses to hamsters and canaries, bringing us a tremendous amount of knowledge. In her early years as a veterinarian she practiced mixed animal medicine and currently practices on small animals including exotics and pocket pets. Janet thoroughly enjoys interaction with her patients and their owners. A true animal lover, Janet lives with her husband Ed and their children Karen, Jennifer, John and Eric on their dairy farm. A family with a big heart, they have welcomed Chernobyl children into their home for rehabilitation over multiple summers. Janet, along with her children, is a remarkable athlete with significant involvement in track and field and cross-country running. She was a member of the fund-raising committee for the Thousand Island Secondary School community track, and also works as a coach for the Brockville Legion runners.
