Heather graduated in 1993 from the Ontario Veterinary College. She purchased Kincardine Veterinary Services in September of 2004.  Along with managing the clinic, she works there part time and runs a beef farm alongside her husband Bruce. They have 3 children, sons Bryce and Kent and daughter Taylor.

After completing high school in Ottawa, Dr. Allison Hooper attended the University of Guelph with the sole intention of entering the veterinary program here.  Admittance to the program can be very difficult as high academic standing is imperative.  After her first year at University, Allison received the Fesseden-Trott scholarship.  This scholarship is awarded to a student completing first Year University with academic excellence.   She was granted a position into the veterinary college subsequent to this achievement.  Dr. Hooper completed her veterinary student externship at Kincardine Veterinary Clinic in the summer of 1985.  The location allowed her to continue her much loved hobby of scuba diving in the National Park at Tobermory.  After graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1986, Allison returned to Kincardine as she could not imagine living anywhere else but in Bruce County within close proximity to her hobby.  Allison has continued to develop her skills in small animal medicine and surgery.  Having a keen interest in chiropractic medicin, she carries out "adjustments" in dogs and cats. 

Dr. Laurie Norman graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1993.  She worked in Thunder Bay for one year and came to Kincardine in the summer of 1994 for a holiday.  At the time, she was between jobs and we needed someone part time for 5 weeks so she agreed to stay for just 5 weeks.  Laurie enjoyed living and working in Kincardine so much that she is still here years later.  She has a keen interest in small animal medicine and surgery. Having a lab named Molly and 2 cats, Phoebe & Pearl, her most important family members are her two wonderful children Milan and Thomas.

Dr. Katherine Mullin graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in May 2006 and joined us here in July of that same year.  She enjoys playing baseball in her spare time.  Katherine and her husband Greg share their household with 2 of the cutiest little yorkies ever named Anikin and Arwin.
