Meet the staff

Dr. Kim Kennedy is one of our resident veterinarians. She attended UBC for two years before transferring to the University of Saskatchewan to complete her Bachelor of Science in September 1996. Before she joined our team, she spent about a year and a half working in Las Vegas.

Kim currently has two pets; Chewy, a very spoiled toy poodle, and Earl, an orange tabby ex-research cat from Saskatoon.

JoanE Richards, AHT, is a 1984 graduate of the Animal Health Technology program, Cariboo College in Kamloops, BC. She came to work at our hospital during her summer practicum and has been here ever since.

One of JoanE's strengths is dentistry where she is renowned for the meticulous attention she pays to the job of cleaning teeth. She is also our chief surgical nurse where her experience and care contribute to the success of our surgical procedures.

Although she is known to keep dogs, her favorite species is the cat. She is a sucker for any 'purrty' face that comes along. JoanE lives with Otis, her Shepherd-Doberman cross. She adopted him after he was abandoned at our hospital. Never without a cat, JoanE also takes care of Mowgli, an elderly cat that was in need of a home, and her new cat Kaboodle.

Janet Weld is our den mother. She has worked with Dr. Moe since he was a pup out of veterinary school over twenty years ago. She claims to have taught him everything useful he knows.

Janet brings a wealth of experience in dealing with pet owners and their concerns. Born and bred here on the North Shore, she shares her home with three Australian Shepherds, Mystic, Argos and Fawn, and two cats, Cleats and Austin.
