Growing up in Fonthill, Dr. Angela always knew she wanted to be a vet, subjecting her dogs, horse and various pocket pets to routine “examinations” on a regular basis.  Nowadays, she lives in St. Catharines with her crazy but sweet Bullmastiff Drogon.

Dr. Angela received her Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from McMaster University in 1998, followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2004, with some time off in between working at the Wildlife Forensic Lab at Trent University.  Throughout vet school, she worked in the Small Animal Intensive Care Unit, learning directly from their talented and knowledgeable staff.

After graduation, she moved back to the Niagara region and has been working in small animal practice ever since, joining the Huntington team in 2021. She is a Fear Free certified practitioner and is invested in ensuring that all pets are handled with dignity and kindness and in a minimally stressful way beginning from their very first visit.

When not at work, you will find her being walked by the dog, with her nose in a book, or trying out new recipes (half of which are destined to fail, but this doesn’t stop her from trying).  She’s also a pretty big Raptors fan and can spend hours discussing the team (so don’t get her started).

Professional Interests:  Internal Medicine, Oncology, Dermatology, Behaviour and Anxiety Management

We welcomed her back as our full-time Practice Manager in 2021, although she can still be found working with your furry family members around the hospital. In her spare time, you can usually find her baking, reading, and spending time with her family. Holly lives in Niagara on the Lake with her young family and they share their home with rescue cats; Fergie and Bruce.

Bobbi was originally found by the humane society in 2014 as a stray kitten. They soon realized that Bobbi was not like other kittens, as he had trouble walking. Originally it was suspected that maybe Bobbi had been hit by a car or gone through some other trauma, however when radiographs at Huntington Animal Hospital revealed that Bobbi’s bones were all intact, he was diagnosed with a neurological disease called cerebellar hypoplasia. This is a congenital condition that is a result of underdevelopment of the cerebellum which is in charge of balance and coordination, and leads to Bobbi’s distinctive swagger. Bobbi’s favourite hobbies include chasing zip-ties and investigating the latest cat carrier designs of all of our feline patients. Bobbi is generally very friendly, but has also earned the nickname “Bad Bobbi” for occasional unexpected bites of people and food bags!
