Mackenna is one of our Registered Veterinary Technicians in both our Orangeville and Shelburne locations. She graduated from the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus in 2022. Mackenna is an animal lover of all kinds, which stemmed from being raised on a dairy goat farm just outside of Dundalk. In high school Mackenna did her co-op placement at a mixed veterinary clinic that provided care to both small and large animals, which intrigued her to start her career as an RVT. Each day while working she enjoys learning new things and meeting your furry companions. In her spare time, Mackenna enjoys driving with her country music blaring while sipping an iced cappuccino.

Amanda joined our team as an Animal Care Attendant in 2021. She lives on a hobby farm with her 4 cats, chickens, ducks and growing fur family, including her crazy Lab Everest. Her passion for animals started when she was a child, kissing snails in the garden and feeding strays. Her passion led her to graduate from the Environmental Technician program in 2020, Animal Care in 2021 and she will be pursuing Advanced Animal Care in 2022. When Amanda is not at work, she can either be found at a wildlife center or on the trails with her crystals.

Jade is part of our Client Service team and is one of the friendly, familiar voices you hear over the phone. Jade currently lives in Shelburne with her fiancé, an animal-loving toddler, and two crazy huskies. She has years of hands-on experience working with dogs and is thrilled to now be a part of the family at Dufferin Veterinary Hospital. What she loves most about her job is the continuing education (learning more every day) and interacting with fur babies and their parents. In her spare time, Jade loves reading, going on family walks, listening to podcasts, and vacuuming Husky fluff.
