VICTORIA ROAD ANIMAL HOSPITAL - Key Persons
Dr. Harris graduated with distinction from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1998 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. After working for a few years in private practice he was awarded a post-doctoral internship in small animal medicine & surgery to teach at his Alma mater. However his heart had always belonged in a clinic setting and he yearned to return to private practice, so in 2006 Dr. Harris returned to Guelph to take over Victoria Road Animal Hospital and has never looked back. He has an avid interest in ultrasound, chemotherapy, and surgical procedures. His primary goal in being a vet is to foster the bond between humans and their pets. When Dr. Harris isn't in the clinic he enjoys hiking with his Labs Hailey and Penny, and spending time with his wife, 3 kids, and his cat Henley.
