Technicians

Thalia started working at Fruitland in May of 2020. In 2019 she graduated as a veterinary technician after two years of study at Seneca College, and passed the RVT exam in 2020. Her love of animals started young as she grew up with dogs and a rabbit. In her free time, she uses her artistic talent to create cosplays with her sewing skills and likes to bake tasty treats for her sweet tooth. Thalia currently has two cats, Phos and Tails, and a very dramatic dwarf rabbit named Musashi.

Kristy began working at Fruitland in January of 2018. She has over ten years of experience in customer care as a manager. Her pleasant personality and office skills helped her to start with mainly working reception and has quickly learned veterinary assistance. She enjoys spending time with her two daughters singing karaoke, mostly to the 80s classics. Kristy shares her home with three cats, Smudge, Tater and Ernie, and a one-eyed rescue dog named Finn who thinks he is more of a person than a dog.

Megan started working at Fruitland Veterinary Hospital in July 2021 and has completed three courses in Veterinary Office Administration. At a very young age Megan's love and passion for all animals was well known and it soon became apparent that her dream job was going to be animal oriented. She has owned different types of pets over the years, including dogs, cats, degus, hedgehogs, rabbits, rats, and many species of fish. Her care and dedication to a wide variety of animals has advanced her knowledge about them and their specific needs. Out of the animals she currently shares her home with, there is a special place in her heart for her eleven-year-old husky Thor.

Sarah has been with Fruitland Veterinary Hospital since April of 2014. She graduated from the University of Guelph with a Performance Horse Handler Certificate, from Mohawk College with a Veterinary Office Management Certificate, and has a Certificate in Tick Identification. She continues her pursuit of education with CE credits provided for veterinary professionals. Her interests lie in parasitology, internal medicine and animal nutrition.

In her spare time Sarah enjoys riding horses and spending time with her cats Remington, Winchester, Mauser and Kiwi, and her dog Zoe.

Calypso started with us in October of 2016. She also wasn’t supposed to stay but has some health issues, so the clinic decided it would be best she lives here. She is mostly blind, has attitude problems, and struggles with IBS and flatulence. She spends her days keeping Ziggy on his toes and making absolutely anything she can find into a toy.

Her favourite pastime is taste testing anything in her reach. She has a lovely singing voice and takes great pleasure in reminding the rest of the staff of this often.

Ziggy became a part of our team in March of 2016. He came in as a part of the rescue and was supposed to be adopted out, but we thought he was too cute and didn’t let him leave. He has since come out of his shell and loves greeting everyone to come through the door and get all their things covered in fur.

His favourite things to do are sleep and cuddle. He tends to drool when he is happy, which is all the time, and gets made fun of for this on a regular basis.
