Dr. Dylan McCaffrey
Veterinarian
Animals have always been Dr. McCaffrey’s passion. Raised locally on a farm in the Rideau Lakes, he’s been caring for animals from day one. He pursued this passion by studying at the Ontario Veterinary College. He has continued his education in small animal surgery, diagnostic ultrasound, and exotic animal medicine. He is known for his big heart, as he is constantly picking up and saving injured wildlife. Thrilled to be back in the Brockville area, he can usually be found by the lake reading up on the latest in medicine with his pug, Pickles.
Dr. Delenn Burrows
Veterinarian
Originally from the city of Hamilton in Southern Ontario, Dr. Burrows is excited to have escaped the hustle and bustle that comes with living in a larger city. Dr. Burrows knew from the age of five that she wanted to be a veterinarian, and she fulfilled this dream when she graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College. She has a special interest in maintaining quality of life in her senior patients, arthritis management, and end of life care. On her days off you might catch her swimming in the river or spending time with her little white rescue dog, Olive.
