DR. ANTHONY ANG

Dr. Ang has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1997. He received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in 1994 before obtaining his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Saskatchewan in 1997. Dr. Ang joined the Canyon Hill Animal Hospital team in 1998 where he worked as their first associate veterinarian until 2006 when he took over ownership of the clinic. Dr. Ang enjoys all aspects of small animal medicine and soft tissue surgery. He also enjoys seeing a variety of exotic pets, from small birds to bunnies. His special interests include internal medicine and certain aspects of exotic animal medicine. Dr. Ang is also very passionate about working with animals in a "fear-free" manner - he is gentle and compassionate towards animals and humans alike, often going above and beyond to treat his patients and communicate with his clients. Outside of work, Dr. Ang enjoys spending time with his family, including his adorable cat, Mimi.

MARTHA

Martha started working at Canyon Hill as a receptionist in 2007 while working on her Bachelor of Science at York University. She graduated in 2009 and began working on her master’s of science with focus on circadian biology and animal physiology. She took over managing the clinic part-time in 2012, and then full-time when she graduated from York University with a master’s degree in 2013. Martha loves all aspects of working in the veterinary field, but is absolutely obsessed with cats and has a particular passion for the care of senior kitties. She comes from a family of animal lovers and has always had pets, including parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, dogs, and cats. Martha has been bringing her menagerie of pets to see Dr. Ang since 1998, so they're really more like family (Martha lovingly refers to Dr. Ang as uncle to her cats). Outside of work, Martha enjoys spending time with her cats, playing guitar (not well), watching "The Supervet" (yaaaas, Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick!), reading, and writing.

TANIA

KATERINA

Katerina (Kat) graduated from the Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) Program at Seneca College in 2012 and she officially became an RVT in 2013. She has a passion for both animal care and video games, in that order. Kat joined our team in 2015 and has been an absolute asset ever since – she really knows her stuff! (Literally. Ask her anything about animals. She will have an answer for you.) We’re not really sure how the clinic functioned before Kat came to work with us; she is passionate about her work, she absolutely loves animals (especially cats and dogs), and is just about the most empathetic person you will ever meet. When Kat isn’t working, she is kept very busy by her Bedlington Terrier, Hermes.

ALEX

Alex (Alessandro in full) started his tenure at Canyon Hill as a volunteer in high school after which time he decided to pursue a career in animal care and later graduated from the Registered Veterinary Technician Program at Seneca College in 2008. He had been working at the clinic part-time but also dabbled as a technician in a laboratory setting, contributing full-time to pediatric cancer research. In 2013, a teeny tiny kitten (no older than a few days, with its umbilical cord still attached) was brought to the clinic after being found outside. Alex bottle-fed the kitten, helped it to thrive, and inevitably adopted and named him “Harley”. Alex absolutely loves all animals, but is particularly passionate about cats. Alex started working full-time at the clinic in 2021. Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending time with Harley, playing guitar, video games, and has quite the green thumb with a special interest in carnivorous plants and...all other plants (ask him about his tomato plants). Alex shares a special bond with Dr. Ang as they both started at the clinic around the same time.

CAMERON

Cameron started working at Canyon Hill in the February 2022 as an animal care assistant and quickly became an integral part of the team. He loves animals and spends his time outside of work with his very handsome tuxedo cat, Leo. Cam moonlights as a receptionist at the clinic and anyone who has spoken to him can attest to his friendliness and sincerity.

TYLER

Tyler started at Canyon Hill as a co-op student in high school. How did we function before Tyler? We're not sure. Outside of work, Tyler loves playing sports and spending time with his Cockapoo, Milly. He currently attends Humber College for mechanical engineering. We are so glad that he is able to squeeze working with us at Canyon Hill into his crazy college schedule. Tyler fits in so well with the team and is always looking for opportunities to learn and do more. There are few people we trust more than Tyler to handle the patients under our care.

RACHAEL

Rachael started working at Canyon Hill in 2022. When she isn't working, Rachael attends college in Toronto and spends time with her puppy, Luma. She also makes the most delicious baked goods including the perfect brownies. She loves animals and would eventually like one of absolutely everything, or at the very least a cat. She is also a great receptionist and if you are lucky enough, you'll get to speak with her on the phone!

LIA

Lia started working as an animal care assistant in the summer of 2022. She does an exceptional job and cares so much about all of the animals in her care. She has a love of animals and is very excited to be adopting a dog into her family soon!

Natalie

OMAR

Omar is the newest member of Canyon Hill's animal care team and loves all animals. If he isn't working, he's probably playing a soccer tournament.

O'Malley

O'MALLEY

O’Malley had been adopted as a kitten from Canyon Hill in 2013. Due to ongoing medical concerns, he came back to live with us as a permanent resident. O’Malley can be a little bit skittish, but overall is actually a pretty outgoing guy! We love playing “Where’s O’Malley” because he’s so good at blending in with his surroundings. O’Malley’s likes are: toys, running water, brushes, and opening cupboards like a boss. O’Malley’s dislikes are: Bandy’s wheelchair.

O'Malley

MICKEY (2000-2020)

Mickey came to live with us here at Canyon Hill in 2010. We think that he is around 18 years old (as of November 2018). Mickey’s likes are: food and naps. Mickey’s dislikes are: grooming. Mickey has 3 beds in the back area of the clinic, but can often be seen rolling over on the carpets in the front area when it’s nice and sunny.

TALLI (2003-2020)

Talli was medically surrendered to us here at Canyon Hill in 2012. She is very shy and can usually be found napping in Dr. Ang’s office (sometimes even stealing his chair!). Talli’s likes are: grooming – this cat *loves* to be brushed. Talli’s dislikes are: being picked up.

BANDY (2002-2020)

Bandy was medically surrendered to Canyon Hill in early 2017. He is just the absolutely sweetest old guy. Unfortunately, in mid-2018, Bandy was seen by a neurologist and determined to have a progressive spinal condition which has slowly caused him to lose the use of his hind legs. This would take a toll on most cats, but we are happy to report that his spirit is as strong and happy as ever. We got him a wheelchair in the summer of 2018 and he can often be seen motoring around the clinic looking for love and snacks. Though his life is a bit more complicated now, he’s one of the happiest cats we know! Bandy’s likes are: face & chin scratches, snuggle time (in his own bed), and watery food. Bandy’s dislikes are: loud noises.

SHAGGYDOG

Shaggy moved in to the clinic around Halloween 2017 when he was found as a very sickly stray and, due to a number of chronic health problems, has since become a permanent resident. Shaggy is a fun-loving, sweet guy who will put a smile on your face, no matter what. You are most likely to see Shaggydog sunning on the bench at the front of the clinic and taking in the scenery. Shaggy’s likes are: almost everything. Shaggy’s dislikes are: nail trims.
