News and events

We would like to congratulate Lisa Couto on graduating as a Veterinary Technician from Seneca College in June 2017.  Lisa started with us in 2012 having completed the Animal Care course at Sheridan College. After working at Kingsdale for several years, Lisa had aspirations to further her training to become a Veterinary Technician. She continued to work part time as she completed her 2 year course of study and we are proud to welcome her back full time in her new role!

Lisa is now able to perform general anesthesia, do dental scale and polish procedures, perform laboratory work and many other procedures.

The Tillie Memorial Fund

Tillie was a very well-loved Airedale Terrier who was part of the Kingsdale family for the past 13 years. In the fall of 2016 Tillie passed away, surrounded by those who loved her. Tillie's owner, Beth, was tremendously appreciative for everything the staff at Kingsdale did for Tillie throughout her life. In honour of Tillie's life, positive energy, and loving nature, Beth and her family and friends made a donation to Kingsdale Animal Hospital. 

Pictured above is Tillie playing outside with her companions, Sarah, Eagdyth, Katie, and Divot (left) and Tillie relaxing inside at the end of the day (right).

The Tillie Memorial Fund was used to purchase two new pieces of equipment to allow us to continue to provide the best medicine and medical practices to our patients. First is a new state-of-the-art surgical light for our dental suite. The second is a surgical suction pump which we use to upgrade our surgical suite.

George is investigating the new equipment. He gave both pieces his meow of approval.

We would like to official welcome our new groomer, Lisa! Lisa comes to us with a wealth of grooming experience, as she has worked for six years and with all breeds of dogs. She is a graduate of the B-Pro Grooming Academy. While not at work, she enjoys camping and hiking with her family. She lives with her husband, their three teenage sons, and two dogs, Roxie and Lylah. She also enjoys gardening in the warm weather. Call us today at 905-833-5401 to book your dog in for a groom with Lisa!
