Julianna

Julianna

Veterinary Assistant

Julianna has a background in dog behaviour and training, and it was her experience in this field that led her to the veterinary world. When the time came for a career change, she decided to build on her skill set in the training world and learn more about the medical side of animal care—Julianna jumped headfirst into veterinary medicine by joining the Brant Animal Clinic family, and she hasn’t looked back since! 

Julianna grew up in Niagara Falls and earned her dog training credentials through the Canine Academy. She ran a doggie daycare facility alongside a friend of hers, gaining invaluable experience in the field, before deciding to move on and explore the world of veterinary care. Julianna joined the Brant Animal Clinic team in September of 2020, and was immediately blown away by the compassionate and skilled team of professionals she worked with. She couldn’t be happier with her choice!

As an Assistant, Julianna finds that one of her favourite things to do is take X-ray scans, and she loves that way that getting an internal picture can help inform treatment. Most of all, she enjoys meeting the area’s pet parents and their adorable companions on a daily basis.

When she’s not at work, Julianna likes spending time with her family and boyfriend, and she loves to dote on her own pets every chance she gets. She shares her life with Braska, a retired racing Greyhound who is an absolute goofball, as well as a pair of bonded rabbits named Theodore and Valentina.

Dyan

Dyan

Customer Service Representative

One of Dyan’s favorite things is interacting with people and building personal relationships. She’s also been a lifelong animal-lover. Dyan wanted a career that combined all of these things, and she found just that in veterinary medicine! She’s a proud member of the clinic’s front-desk team.

Dyan was born and raised in Hamilton, and she joined the Brant Animal Clinic family in October of 2018. She couldn’t be happier to launch her journey in pet care right here at the hospital, and she finds that no two days are ever quite the same—she’s constantly learning something new. Dyan’s favorite part of her job is getting to spoil the area’s adorable pets and meeting their loving owners every day.

Dyan lives in the country with her husband and daughter. The family shares their lives with several wonderful pets: Kitty the cat, who loves to help Dyan with the dishes by licking them clean; Rocky the Rottweiler/Husky mix whose favorite pastime is chasing rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and birds in the backyard; and an appropriately named potbellied pig, Diva, who lives indoors with her family but loves lounging outside in the warmer months.

Edi

Edi

Registered Veterinary Technician

Edi was always deeply touched by stories of animals suffering from disease or neglect, and knew that she wanted to do her part to make a difference. She realized that pursuing a career in the veterinary field was the perfect way for her to do that! Now, Edi gets to help not only pets, but their owners as well. She’s a Registered Veterinary Technician with the Brant Animal Clinic family.

Edi is originally from Poland and came to Canada just before turning 18. She completed high school here and completed a year of zoology studies at Laurentian University in Sudbury before transferring to the University of Guelph to study biological science. Next, Edi attended Sheridan College in Brampton to study in their veterinary technology program—she graduated in 2017 while already working for the pet clinic where she’d completed her clinical placements.

When the time came for a change of pace from the emergency hospital she’d been working in, Edi was thrilled to find an opening here at Brant Animal Clinic. She’s been a member of the clinic family since July of 2020, and loves using her skills to focus more closely on individual patients and their loving owners.

Edi lives in Stoney Creek with her husband, Karol, and their beloved dog, Kelso. In her spare time, she loves to garden, work on home-improvement projects, read great books, and dote on her four-legged friend.

Eryn

Eryn

Veterinary Assistant

Unlike many of her colleagues, Eryn didn’t have any pets growing up. That didn’t allay her love of animals, though. In fact, the absence of them in her home drove her to seek out every opportunity she could to be around them. As she grew older, she knew she wanted to help pets for a living. As a veterinary assistant here at Brant Animal Clinic, Eryn is living her dream and loving every second!

Eryn’s journey began at a doggy daycare facility. From there, she went on to attend school to become a veterinary assistant and better learn how to care for animals. Once she began working in clinics, Eryn fell in love with the technical side of things and has plans to take that next step to become a veterinary technician. Professionally, she enjoys the challenge of performing bloodwork.

When she’s not busy working, Eryn can usually be found working out at the gym, going on hikes, or spending quality time with friends and family.

Dawn

Dawn

Customer Service Representative

As a child growing up, Dawn had the best playground – her grandparents’ farm in Teulon, MB. There, she was exposed to many different animals, from cows and horses to chickens and sheep, to cats, dogs, pigs, and bunnies. Being able to experience animal care in such an up-close and personal way fostered a deep love and respect for all living beings. As Dawn puts it, she didn’t choose the veterinary field, the veterinary field chose her.

Dawn’s life didn’t follow the traditional path, but she never gave up and always pushed toward her goals. She went back to high school at the age of 34 and graduated with her diploma. From there, she received a college degree in Travel and Tourism in June of 2011. Dawn spent several years in New Brunswick, where she worked at an emergency vet hospital. In April of 2023, she was given the opportunity to join the Brant Animal Clinic team, and the rest – as they say – is history! Professionally, Dawn appreciates her team and loves interacting with the patients.

At home, Dawn is happily married. She and her wife do not currently have any pets, as they are still grieving the loss of their precious fur babies, Emerson and Mr. Mugs, both of whom crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2021. Emerson was rescued as an 8-week-old kitten and lived to be 15. He was a sassy brat but had a personality nobody could match. Mr. Mugs was a tuxedo cat who weighed 25 pounds when he was rescued. He was a chatty fellow who would purr so loud the windows shook. Both kitties were loved unconditionally and will forever be missed.

In her spare time, Dawn loves to golf and is passionate about gardening. She and her wife also enjoy spending time at their trailer in Flamborough at Cedars LGBTQ Family Park. Dawn’s life advice is simple yet profound: love every moment, learn from mistakes, and don’t forget to smile!

Michelle

Michelle

Registered Veterinary Technician

All throughout her childhood, Michelle always gravitated toward animals. Growing up, her family had lots of cats, and Michelle remembers accompanying them to vet appointments and thinking how fun it would be to work in an animal clinic. That childhood interest blossomed over the years and ultimately inspired Michelle to pursue a career in the veterinary industry. As a registered vet tech, she loves being able to help families and their beloved fur-babies.

Toward the end of high school, Michelle still wasn’t sure what direction to go in, so she decided to follow her lifelong passion and seek a profession that would allow her to be around animals. She completed her high school co-op at a local vet clinic and enjoyed the experience so much, that she enrolled in the veterinary technician program at Georgian College. After graduating in 2015, Michelle worked at several small animal practices before joining the Brant Animal Clinic team in December of 2022.

Outside of work, Michelle’s favorite pastimes include playing sports, reading, and drawing.
