She then conducted wildlife research and then worked at veterinary clinics in Prince Albert and Saskatoon. Now she is settled on her acreage with her wonderful family, fruit trees, large garden, surrounded by good ol-time music and friendly pets. She is eager to assist you and your furry companions!

Tina Hiebert, Receptionist
Tina has been working at the clinic as a Veterinary Assistant since 2013. Tina’s pets have been some of her closest friends. There have always been stray cats, dogs and maybe a skunk that were brought home as a child, and this hasn’t really changed. Growing up in Southern Alberta she dreamed of living on a farm and working with animals. In 2007, Tina moved with her husband, three children and their pets to a small farm near St. Gregor. After many years in customer service, she wanted a job where helping people and animals could come together. She really enjoys helping both animals and their people feel relaxed and well cared for while they are here. Over the years their farm has grown to include a variety of pets including their dog Sage, two house cats and a few barn cats that showed up as strays and then stayed due to being neutered and well fed. They also have Gypsy Vanner horses, a cow named Mama C, Chickens, and one photo-bombing llama named Louie.
