Hope Harvey

Head Veterinary Assistant

Hi, my name is Hope, I am a veterinary assistant here at the hospital. I grew up in a small country town, working in animal care fields starting from a young age. I am always surrounded by wildlife, living within a forest, and grew up with Rottweilers and fish in our family home; love for animals has never been hard for me. I always wanted to incorporate animals within my adult life as well, and to continue my growth and knowledge by providing the best quality care to all animals in any way I can. In the open spots of my busy schedule, I paint animals and landscapes for my online gallery, pursuing more creative endeavours.

Ally Pentz

Veterinary Assistant

Hey, my name is Ally! I work as a veterinary assistant here at VPAH, I'm also a 4th year student studying at the University of Toronto. For my entire life, I've grown up around animals, many being my own pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a bird, rats, fish, and a hermit crab! I also volunteer at a farmed animal sanctuary and have previously worked there as an on-site caregiver. I've always wanted to work in a veterinary clinic where I have the opportunity to build on my experience giving back to animals. Being a pet owner, I understand how special our fur babies are and the importance of giving them the best care possible.
