Emergency clinic open 24 hours a day

Kira Chyz

Veterinary Technician

Like most of us in the veterinary industry, I absolutely loved animals growing up. My career started at 15 working and volunteering in Humane Societies. After graduating from the Veterinary Technician Program at Seneca College in 2010, I am excited to now be calling North Town my home. My goal is to help owners provide the absolute best care for their pets outside of the clinic - I love helping them with nutrition, dental care and training/behaviour.

Outside of the clinic I can be found outdoors with my 3 dogs (Catahoula Brothers and a St. Bernard) and my summer weekends are spent on the water or getting muddy in an obstacle course race!
