Amanda

Amanda

Operations Director

Make an Appointment

A well-run veterinary hospital must have a good operations director, and that’s the exact role that Amanda fills at Complete Care Hospital for Pets. She not only makes sure things run smoothly on a daily basis, she also loves the excitement of the unforeseen challenges that each day brings. As she puts it, “you never know what animal is going to walk through the front door!”

Amanda recalls getting a Shetland pony when she was younger being the defining moment of her life, as it sparked her interest in animals. After graduating from high school, she started working at an animal hospital to gain experience. She then attended the NSAC to complete their Animal Science Tech program, and then continued her studies by earning her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science.

Despite all of the experience and education she has obtained throughout the years, she still finds herself constantly learning new things about animals.

Originally from Milford, NS, Amanda would alternate between living in British Columbia and Nova Scotia for a while. She loves animals, but horses in particular have her heart, for which she credits her mom.

In her free time, Amanda enjoys different activities in each season; horseback riding in the fall, fishing in the spring, boating in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter!

Kayla

Registered Veterinary Technician

Growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Kayla always had an interest in nursing and animals. A career in the veterinary industry, where she could continue to learn and grow, just seemed to be the natural choice. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, Kayla gets to combine her passions and fulfill her lifelong ambition.

While attending Maritime Business College, Kayla completed her student placement here at Complete Care Hospital for Pets. Upon her graduation in 2017, she was officially hired as part of the Complete Care team. Professionally, Kayla enjoys working in the lab and has a special interest in surgery and anesthesia.

Chloè Bramble

Chloè Bramble

Veterinary Technician

Make an Appointment

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.

In September 2024, Chloé joined the team at Complete Care Hospital for Pets, finding herself right at home among a group of skilled, compassionate, and often hilariously entertaining coworkers. Professionally, she loves the challenge of veterinary medicine, especially cytology—peering into the microscopic world feels like stepping onto another planet. But above all, she stays in the field because of the incredible animals she meets every day. No two pets are the same, and their unique personalities always keep things interesting.

Outside of work, Chloé’s creativity extends beyond the clinic. She is an artist who finds joy in writing and textile art, and she recently co-organized and presented in her first public exhibition.  Chloé shares her home with her cat, DeeDee, who has a particular fondness for fresh parsley from the garden. Whether she’s caring for animals, exploring the microscopic universe, or creating art, Chloé brings the same curiosity and dedication to everything she does.

Lindsay Warnell

Lindsay Warnell

Veterinary Technician

Make an Appointment

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.

Lindsay’s veterinary career officially began in 2012 when she visited Complete Care Hospital for Pets as a client and was introduced to the vet assistant program. She jumped at the opportunity, graduated as a vet assistant in 2013, and later pursued her vet tech diploma, graduating in 2018. After spending years working—and even managing—a clinic in Halifax, Lindsay took a step back in 2024, considering a career change. But fate had other plans! When she heard that Complete Care was hiring, she knew it was the perfect opportunity to return to hands-on patient care, focusing on what she truly loves—helping animals thrive. 

At home, Lindsay shares her life with her boyfriend, Sean, and their spirited daughter, Scarlett. Scarlett has clearly inherited her mom’s love for animals, bringing plenty of joy and laughter to their household. While they are currently pet-free, having recently said goodbye to their beloved cats, Oliver and Bubbles, there’s little doubt that another furry friend will find its way into their home when the time is right. Until then, Lindsay continues to pour her heart into caring for the patients of Complete Care, ensuring each one gets all the love and attention they deserve.

Kayleigh Landry

Kayleigh Landry

Veterinary Assistant

Make an Appointment

Kayleigh had a deep love of animals from a very young age. Any chance she got, she would sneak away, and her parents would usually find her in a nearby horse stall, playing dress up with her pets, or cuddled up somewhere with her four-legged friends. As she got older, Kayleigh’s passion for animals grew, and it became clear that caring for them was her calling – something that’s still evident to this day!

Kayleigh joined the Complete Care Hospital team shortly after graduating from college. She had already been a long-time client, so it was a natural fit. A few years in, Kayleigh decided to explore other interests, but quickly realized that her heart was in veterinary care, so she made her way back. What she loves most about being a veterinary assistant is that every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn. Professionally, she enjoys helping in the exam room and assisting with lab work.

At home, Kayleigh resides on the eastern shore with her husband and two beautiful, adventurous daughters. Their fur-family consists of two Boston terriers (or as Kayleigh likes to call them, Boston “terrors”) named Peanut and Bubba, an English mastiff named Bella, and a cat named Jelly. Some of the things Kayleigh enjoys doing in her free time include boating and tubing on the lake in the summer, going for walks with the dogs, and seeing what new adventures she can find.

Ashley grew up in the cozy town of Musquodoboit Harbour, NS, with her parents, older sister, and sweet Black Lab named Penny. From an early age, her world was full of creativity, animals, and a strong sense of compassion. As a teenager, Ashley found her passion for painting and eventually followed that creative spark all the way to NSCAD University, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2023. Whether it was sketching animal portraits or doodling cartoon characters, Ashley always had a way of adding color and charm to the world around her.

Though she didn’t come into veterinary care with a resume full of experience, Ashley brought something even more important to the table—a genuine love for animals (especially big dogs), and an eagerness to help people. After joining Complete Care Hospital for Pets as a kennel attendant, Ashley dove into the role, soaking up knowledge and quickly becoming a vital part of the team. It wasn’t long before she added the role of receptionist to her resume.

At home, Ashley lives with her partner Mackenzie and their fearless one-eyed rescue kitten, Delilah, who keeps things lively and adorable. When she’s not busy painting animal portraits or rewatching her favorite horror movies, you might find Ashley cruising in her beloved 2003 Buick Century.

Veterinary Assistant

While Em has always had a special place in her heart for animals, it wasn’t until she was a teenager and her mother started fostering dogs through Marley’s Hope that she decided she wanted to pursue a career in the veterinary industry. As a veterinary assistant, her passion for helping pets is evident in everything she does!

Em received her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science and Aquaculture from Dalhousie University, Agriculture Campus. Clinically, she has a particular interest in taking X-rays because she loves a good mystery!

At home, Em has two cats of her own named Holly and Poppy. Poppy thinks Holly is her very best friend in the whole world, while Holly thinks Poppy is her mortal enemy. They are both pandemic pets who spent lockdown sitting on Em’s computer desk while she studied. She also has a bearded dragon named Maleficent, who has chilled out considerably in her older years.

Kylie Draho

Kylie Draho

Veterinary Assistant

Make an Appointment

Growing up in Airdrie, Alberta, Kylie’s love for animals began early—whether it was riding horses or trying to adopt every stray she came across. One of her most memorable rescues was Max, a stray cat she found near the neighborhood park. After convincing her parents to keep him, Max became a beloved part of the family, following them on walks and curling up in bed at night. Though his time was cut short by leukemia, his impact was lasting, reinforcing Kylie’s passion for helping animals in need.

Determined to turn that passion into a career, Kylie pursued her education at CDI College, graduating in November 2024. She started her veterinary journey at a clinic in Calgary before life presented her with an exciting new opportunity—the chance to move out east to beautiful Nova Scotia. In the summer of 2024, after a whirlwind of interviews, Kylie found the perfect fit at Complete Care Hospital for Pets. As a veterinary assistant, she thrives in the fast-paced environment, always learning something new and finding creative ways to help animals. 

At home, Kylie’s world revolves around her two “Halloween cats,” Blaze and Chili. Blaze is the brooding window-watcher, while Chili is the ultimate mama’s boy, always demanding snuggles and snacks. When she’s not at work, you’ll likely find Kylie enjoying Nova Scotia’s scenic beaches, spending time with friends, or simply relaxing with her cats while watching the deer pass by.

Tom

Tom

Practice Director

Make an Appointment

Unlike most of his colleagues, Tom wasn’t following a lifelong dream to pursue a career in the veterinary field. He simply married into it. That said, he takes his role as Practice Director seriously, and is happy to take on as much of the admin duties as possible so that his wife, Dr. Kyra Larkin, can focus on being the best doctor she can be to our patients!

Born in the Czech Republic, Tom’s family immigrated to Canada in 1968. He attended Lakehead University, where he obtained a degree in Forestry. A few years later, Tom joined the Canadian Air Force as a navigator. He spent 20+ years in the Regular Force and about six years in the Reserves.

During his time in the military, Tom was awarded the Wing Commanders Commendation, and received Letters of Appreciation from the Atlantic Commander of the Coast Guard, the Commander of Canada Command and the Joint Task Force Atlantic Commander. He joined the Complete Care Hospital team upon his retirement.

Together, Tom and Dr. Larkin have two adult children: a son named William and a daughter named Jessica. Their fur family consists of two dogs: a rescue Huskie/Golden/Shepherd mix named Betty and a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix named Sweetie Pie. They also have two rescue cats: Moe, who loves to ride the Roomba and sounds like a pigeon when he purrs, and Lettuce (formerly Laticia), whom they thought was a female, but turned out to be a male.

In his spare time, Tom enjoys doing home renovations and is the primary cook at home. He makes a pretty mean BBQ!
