Chloé has always been a voice for the animals in her life, a role that naturally led her to a career as a veterinary technician. Growing up, she had a knack for taking in animals in need—her first dog was a puppy she found on the street and nursed back to health. Watching him transform into a happy, thriving companion was one of the most rewarding experiences of her life, reinforcing her passion for animal care. That passion led her to Dalhousie’s Veterinary Technology Program, where she graduated in 2020.
Lindsay’s journey into veterinary medicine started long before she ever set foot in a clinic. Growing up in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, she always had a soft spot for animals, especially those that needed a little extra care. That passion ignited into something much more when she took in a tiny, four-week-old kitten who had been rejected by his mother. Learning how to care for him ignited Lindsay’s curiosity, and when she discovered that she could work with animals without becoming a veterinarian, she knew she had found her calling.
