Pierre-Olivier Laberge, DMV

Dr Pierre-Olivier Laberge graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary medicine at the University of Montreal in 2013 before completing an advanced internship in applied veterinary sciences. In the summer of 2014, he began working in Montreal in a small animal clinic where he performed consultations, but was particularly fond of surgery and dentistry. In 2022 he also works for several months in the Iles-de-la-Madelaine. He joins our Animal Care West team in January 2023.

Anne St-Denis, TSAc

Anne graduated from Lionel-Groulx in May 2018 and completed her certification exam in December of the same year. As soon as she finished her studies, she started working at the DMV veterinary center, in the emergency department. She then switched to the surgery department, where she has been working full-time since summer 2020.

She grew up on a small farm where her parents passed on their passion and love for animals. Her first instinct, in all aspects of her life, is to make sure she can help those around her, animals and humans alike. Being an Animal Health Technician enables her to help both. She loves being able to make a difference in the life of an animal and its owner. Always ready to work, she joined the Animal Care West team in fall 2022 and offers a few hours a week, while continuing to work alongside Dr. Gatineau at the DMV veterinary center.

Audrey Regimbald, TSAc

Audrey has been passionate about animals since her childhood. Animals have been part of her household for as long as she can remember. She graduated as an animal health technician in 2020 and got her certification the following year. As soon as she graduated, she was hired by the DMVET veterinary center. First as a technician in the emergency department, but Audrey then migrated towards two specialties that have always interested her: dentistry and oncology. While working in these two departments, she has developed a good understanding of anesthesia and its challenges, as well as perfecting her technical skills. Eager to share her knowledge and continue to learn more about other spheres of veterinary medicine, Audrey joined the Animal Care West team in early 2022. Outside of work, she is also known as a cat lover. At home she has three feline companions: Kira, Joey and Owen who unceasingly give her new anecdotes to share.
