She is currently studying to become a registered Veterinary Technician, while juggling her busy family life with two young children.  Morgan has a special interest in pet nutrition and would be happy to discuss the best diet for your pet.  She is an member of our new puppy team, helping with puppy training, Walkmaster demonstrationsand puppy information nights.  Morgan's positive attitude, and special TLC for the patients make her a valuable asset to our VVC team.

She loves working with animals and is glad to be back at Valley Veterinary Clinic

Holly Wallace

Holly joined our team this year as a new techinician from St. Lawrence college.  She lives on her family farm in Arnprior, and enjoys farm and family life.  Holly is rapidly becoming an invaluable member of the team as she improves her skills daily.  Holly is ready and eager to speak to you about your pets over the phone or at the front desk!

Mary Jane Murphy

Mary Jane has now joined Valley Vet as permanent employee, after spending time doing relief work.  She has two grown children and makes her home in Ferguson's Falls with her husband Mike.  MJ can be found doing all the daily care of your animals when they are here in the hospital, and generally keeping us all clean and organized! 

Hannah Gaines

Hannah is a student at Kemptville College. She enjoys horseback riding and is currently competing in the western riding events.  At school she works hard maintaining an 80+ average and is on the polo team. Hannah's true passion is working with horses as she spends every free minute in the barn, but also enjoys learning about cats and dogs during her hours spent at the clinic. We enjoy having students at the clinic and appreciate their hard work. 

Thomas

Thomas is our fabulous clinic cat.  He can be found lounging on the front desk, greeting new patients and generally entertaining the staff and clients.  He enjoys sleeping on comfy chairs, basking in the sun, occasionally hunting mice, and mostly eating.  Although his age is unknown we hope he will be with us for many years to come.  Please feel free to pet Tom when you see him around the clinic!
