Winnie: Ambassador of Wingrove 

Winnie is our wonderful, adorable and comical clinic cat! She is our Walmart greeter and daily entertainment! Winnie arrived at Granite Ridge Golf course in the dead of winter in 2012. One of our very caring clients could not bear to see this young cat outside all winter so Winnie spent her first few months apprenticing in the shop. Come April it was too busy for Winnie so she came to us in hopes of finding a home. It didn't take long for us to realize how perfect she is for Wingrove!

Winnie brings a smile to our faces daily with her antics and the cute ways about her. Our clients now look for her when they arrive. She can be found greeting cats and dogs as they arrive, lying on keyboards, amongst the lab equipment, in boxes, on staff laps or under her blanket in the lounge. As pictured, she does also love to find a sunny spot!

I think if Winnie could speak, she would tell you she loves us almost as much as we love her!

Arlene

Arlene is one of the friendly voices you will hear on the phone or the first to greet you when you come in. She has been with us since 2015. Since she was young, Arlene has shared her home with cats. Her first dog Teddy came into her life when they bought their country property - he came with it! Since then their family has been fortunate to have had so many other animals to love. Arlene, her husband and their son now share their home (and barn) with 4 dogs, one very old rooster and 14 (yes 14!) cats. Arlene loves to read and to find recipes for anything sweet! She has her own police horse trading cards - ask for one when you see her.

Jordan

Jordan has been at Wingrove since 2013. He graduated from the University of Guelph in 2004 and made the city his permanent place of residence in 2012. When he's not at the front desk, you may see him performing his songs at one of Guelph's local music venues either solo or with his blue grass trio, The Grey Owls. At home, he spends most of his time playing with his houseful of cats. Since arriving at Wingrove Jordan has quickly gone from one cat to four! It happens to the best of us working in a clinic. 

Jenny

Jenny is one of our Registered Veterinary Technician and has been with us at Wingrove since 2008. She received her diploma from Ridgetown college in 2006 where she graduated top of her class! Jenny lives with her lab cross and 4 cats. When Jenny isn't working she can be found playing ball in the park with her pup or buried under a pile of pets trying to watch a movie. She has a keen interest in pet nutrition and can answer any dietary questions you may have.

Randi-Lynn

Randi recently started at Wingrove Veterinary Hospital. Randi decided that a career in Veterinary medicine was right for her ever since she laid eyes on her first dog, Tubby. He was the reason she fell in love with the pet world! The unconditional love, care, and the bond between humans and animals was something that was very inspiring for her. She decided to expand her love for animals by becoming a Veterinary Technician. Randi graduated from the Vet Tech program at Georgian College in 2010 with honors. She went on to complete the National Exam to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. She is passionate about surgery, anesthesia and educating clients. 

Randi is a very active person outside of work. She enjoys playing multiple sports, such as hockey, baseball and soccer. She enjoys spending her free time with her significant other Evan, her 3 wonderful rescue cats Buster, Pip, and Captain and her active Boston terrier Leonidas. They sure are one cuddle purr-fect family!

Esther

Esther is an Animal Care Attendant, Registered Veterinary Technician and Professional Pet Stylist. She graduated from the Animal Care program at Sheridan College in 2011 and Veterinary Technician program at Seneca College in 2014. Esther previously worked in a few small animal hospitals as an RVT and pet groomer before joining Wingrove. Her passion for pet grooming grew since attending the Animal Care program, leading her to further study at Pets Beautiful School of Styling. Esther enjoys art crafting and spending time with her two cats.

At Wingrove we often employ aspiring young vets on their way to and through Vet College. Our assistants, Niamh, Natasha, Jenn and Michaela can be seen at the front desk or in the  prep area assisting wherever needed.  They work throughout the week, weekends and summer hours. You will be impressed with the skills and knowledge they have acquired!
