Q&A with Dr Calvin

Get to know our Vet, Dr. Calvin – what he loves about working with animals and the advice he wishes every pet owner knew.

1.What inspired you to become a veterinarian?

I have a deep love for animals and a huge desire to help people by caring for their pets. I enjoy building connections with people and their pets. 

2. Do you have any pets of your own?

I currently do not have any pets but I treat every patient as if they were my own. 

3. What do you love most about working in this community?

Every single day is different, but one of the things I love most about working in this community is that I feel a sense of belonging. People in our community are extremely helpful, understanding and kind. 

4. What’s one piece of advice you wish every pet owner knew?

Prevention is better than cure. Always keep your animals on parasite prevention and get your pets desexed. 

5. Do you have a favourite animal? What is it and why?

Rhinoceros because of their brute strength, but also the amazing work vets are doing to protect them from poaching.
