DVM | Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Nathan Schachtschneider
I fell in love with animals as a young child and they’ve taken a special place in my life and heart ever since. A variety of different pets have accompanied me over the years, and I currently have a Quaker parrot, Zazu, as my little animal friend.
My route to becoming a vet was slightly roundabout. I first obtained an engineering degree but felt pulled to pursue my original passion. My love for animals, desire to strengthen and protect the human-animal bond, and passion for the medical sciences ultimately led me to Veterinary Medicine at the Ontario Veterinary College. Since then, I’ve developed a special interest in surgery and take pride in skillfully using this avenue for the benefit of my patients. I’m also a proponent of healthy living and wish to encourage this lifestyle through my practice of veterinary medicine.
