Dr. Daniela McLean graduated from Saskatoon’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994 and promptly returned ‘home’ to Calgary. Since then she has worked as both a locum and an associate in a number of clinics. When contemplating opening her own practice, Daniela says she thought “long and hard about what it was she enjoyed most about practicing veterinary medicine,” and the answer was clear-Dogs! With the support of her family, which includes two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dr. McLean has decided to follow her passion and open the country’s first canine specific veterinary practice.

After working for 30 years as an employee in the Veterinary industry, Lorraine is thrilled to be following her dream of becoming a clinic owner.
