Dr. Cindy Roth
Veterinarian

When Dr. Roth was 7 years old she watched the veterinarian in her families barn do a blood transfusion between 2 cows. She enjoyed watching so much that she almost missed her school bus! That veterinarian said to her dad “that girl should be a veterinarian”. Since that day, that is what she wanted to do. Dr. Roth never looked back. Between medicating the barn cats and wrapping the farm dog’s boo boos she felt at that time the she was already practicing veterinary medicine. 21 years later she graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College. She ended up marrying a farmer so she went right back to doctoring up the animals in the barn just like she did when she was a little girl. She hopes however, She knows what she’s doing this time around.  She was very fortunate when she was 7 to have the support of her family and teachers to accomplish her dream of becoming Dr. Roth. Who said that dreams never come true!  In 2010 Dr. Roth joined the wonderful team at BAH and has enjoyed working side-by-side with them to provide awesome veterinary care.

When Dr. Roth is not busy being a veterinarian,  her husband and four daughters keep her busy. At this point, none of them want to be a veterinarian. She enjoys scrap booking and fastball, but loves snowmobiling! She is one of the very few at BAH that loves a good snow storm!

Dr. Janet Pegrum
Veterinarian

Dr. Pegrum was born and raised within the heart of Ottawa with her first real introduction to agriculture being an educational program she participated in, in which she was required to work on a farm.

In April of 2010 Dr. Pegrum became a member of our management team. With her farming background and wide range of experience with exotics and pocket pets, she has worked on everything from cows and horses to hamsters and canaries, bringing our team a tremendous amount of knowledge. In her early years as a veterinarian she practised mixed animal medicine and currently practices on small animals including exotics and pocket pets. Dr. Pegrum thoroughly enjoys interaction with her patients and their owners.

Dr. Corinne Johnson
Veterinarian

Dr. Johnson started her veterinary career 25 years ago on her birthday at the Brockville Animal Hospital. Even though reminiscing makes her feel old, she still remember her first day here. So nervous, so excited and so “very wet behind the ears!”

She enjoys hearing stories about people’s pets and how their lives are so enriched from the experience. Every animal has a personality. Pets and their owners continue to teach her new things every day.

Dr. Johnson’s own dog “Chewy” has allergies so she have a keen interest in dermatology. Her cat “Sooty” has taught her a lot about chronic kidney disease. Hopefully her other 2 cats Darth Fluffy and Boomer continue to stay healthy.

Dr. Stickney was born and raised “south of the border”.  With a great love of animals and science, she pursued a Bachelors of Science in Biology at Moravian College in PA.  She then completed her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Mass. in 2001.  She subsequently studied Veterinary Acupuncture in Boston in 2004. She currently calls Brockville Animal Hospital “home”, but life has brought her to a number of Veterinary practices in the years since graduation. This has given her a unique opportunity to experience many different communities, different practice and management styles, and to learn, grow, and work along side many fellow Veterinarians. She has learned one sure thing – every animal and person that comes through the door is a unique individual with unique needs. Care must be catered to each individual. Here at Brockville Animal Hospital she brings her love of medicine, surgery, a focus on compassionate patient care, and the ability to extend treatment options to include non-conventional therapies.

Dr. Stickney lives in Brockville with her family and menagerie of pets. She seems to have a magnetic draw for special needs and misfit animals! She shares her home with three dogs (Oreo, Arya, and Monroe), three cats (Frosty, George and Puzzle), a salt water aquarium (filled with coral, inverts,  and Carl, Clair, Priscilla, Gramma, and Rocky the fish) , and a small flock of hens and ducks.  In her free time she can be found at band practice with the Brockville Concert Band, at Mint Wellness Aerial studio, exercising her green thumb in the garden or with her indoor plant collections, in the river scuba diving, giving love and attention to her pets, travelling and on very rare occasion reading a good book!

She has been told she has an amazing sense of humour which helps keep everyone enthusiastic.

Melissa rescued a Boston Terrier about 6 years ago her name is Allie, and adopted a brown tabby from the Kingston Humane Society named Jaycob. She fell in love with Jaycob when she met him during her surgical rotation in College.

Holly
Registered Veterinary Technician

Holly was raised on her family Beef and Poultry farm in North Augusta, ON and she knew from the age of 4, that she was meant to work with animals. She grew up with everything from the normal farm animals to quite exotic ones like emus, pheasants, chinchillas, a hedgehog, peacocks and even some llama’s! While deciding what her true calling was, she took time to travel and work abroad for a year in Australia. She volunteered at Steve Irwin’s (Crocodile Hunter) Australia Zoo and Wildlife Hospital; this is where she realized she was meant to be a Veterinary Technician. Holly enrolled in the Veterinary Technologist program at St. Lawrence College, Kingston. She graduated in April 2020, amid a world-wide pandemic and joined the Brockville Animal Hospital in the same month. She loves her career because she is able to make a difference in the lives of patients and clients.

Holly lives in Brockville with her two basset hounds, Fredrick and Boomer; two love birds, Twitter and Vernon, and two hobby chickens, KC and Barbara.

In her spare time, she loves to perform music in the local area, spend time with her boyfriend and dogs, and travel. She is a thrill seeker; sky diving, bungee jumping (twice!) and hiking a glacier are just a few of the things she has checked off her list. One of her most challenging adventures was the Mt. Tongariro hike in New Zealand, this mountain is directly beside “Mt. Doom” from Lord of the Rings!

Megan
Registered Veterinary Technician

Megan grew up on the outskirts of Chesterville with two brothers where they always had a dog, a cat or both. Her love for animals made it an easy choice for her to know that she wanted to work with animals, every day. She currently has one cat named Lucy, and one day plans to have many more pets. When Megan is not working at BAH she likes to spend her time with family, friends, and at country music concerts.

Megan graduated from the veterinary technology program at St. Lawrence college in Kingston, ON, in April 2020. Not long after, she started my career here at the Brockville animal hospital. Megan has really enjoyed becoming a part of the BAH family and can’t wait to cuddle all of your fur babies!

She spends her days off with family, friends and her cat Honey. Honey was adopted from the Kingston Humane Society.

Michaela
Registered Veterinary Technician

Michaela knew that she was going to work with animals ever since she was little. Her passion for animals has taken her down several different roads that she didn’t expect but is  so proud to be where she is today!

Michaela grew up just outside of Brockville and has lived in the area her whole life. She has enjoyed working with the team here at Brockville Animal Hospital for almost 9 years now and is so thankful for all the help and encouragement she’s had along the way. From starting off as a kennel and high school co-op student, volunteering in between summers off from school, 2 full time years as an assistant and now an RVT, she’s managed to experience a variety of positions at BAH!

Michaela began her animal science career by completing a bachelors of science in agriculture with a major in animal science at Dalhousie University’s Agricultural Campus in Nova Scotia. It was here that she built upon her love for all things farming but also found an interest in nutrition and aided on a few research projects based on poultry and aquaculture nutrition. After graduating, Michaela spent some time deciding where she wanted to go from there and with her experience at BAH, it led her to enrolling in the veterinary technician program at Northern College in Temiskaming, ON, where she gained more experience in both small and large animal technical skills and upon graduation, she received the Purina Nutrition Award. In Michaela’s future technician career, she has an interest in learning more about emergency medicine, laboratory work, nutrition and large animal medicine.

Michaela currently has 2 cats whom she adores, Alfie and Luigi (she did mention that she’s a self proclaimed Crazy Cat Lady!), a hermit crab named Dave, a herd of purebred hereford cattle with her husband, Ethan and one very special jersey cross cow named Sienna. In her spare time, you can find her enjoying the outdoors including fishing, walking or just taking in some sun rays, reading, baking, taking pictures of her cats or talking about her cats, working on the farm, milking cows at a side job, or spending time with her family and friends. Michaela loves to learn and hopes to never stop. She is very excited to see what her time at BAH turns into!

Emily
Veterinary Technician

Emily’s love for animals started young. Her childhood dog, Sammy, was her first pet, but it definitely didn’t stop there. She owned fish, hamsters, rabbits, cats and dogs – pretty much any animal her parents would let her bring into the house. Her passion for horses started young as well. Emily began with riding lessons once a week, and soon decided to devote more time to the sport. She competed in show jumping competitions as much as she could throughout the warmer weather, and did more training in the winter. Emily’s future career did not take much thought. She knew she wanted to work with animals from the start. Emily moved to Ottawa to complete the veterinary technician program at Algonquin College right after graduating high school, and  loved every second of it. She adopted her cat, Billy from the Algonquin campus, and brought him straight home to meet her family dog, Archie.

When Emily is not working with animals, she love boating on Charleston Lake with her family, going out with friends or just playing with her animals at home. She can’t wait to continue her journey at Brockville Animal Hospital as a veterinary technician.

Don was born in Brockville and grew up just west of Prescott. His grandfather had a dairy farm in Grantly area and some of his earliest memories are of accompanying his grandfather to the barn and seeing the cows, pigs and chickens. Growing up with three younger brothers, Don’s parents always made sure they had a variety of pets in the house whether it be fish, Budgies, a rabbit or a cat. They got their first Pomeranian, and it was love at first sight. Between him and his mom they have always made sure that there is a least one or more Pomeranian in the house.

After spending a number of years in the grocery and high technology industries Don was faced with making a career change and finally decided to follow his heart and enter the animal health care profession. He enrolled in the Veterinary Assistant program at St. Lawrence College and graduated in 2020. It was during a break in his studies that he was very fortunate to be able to first visit and volunteer at the Brockville Animal Hospital. It was during this time that he realized he had chosen the correct career path and was very happy and proud to be able to join the excellent team of doctors and animal health care professionals here at the Brockville Animal Hospital.

Julia
Customer Care Team Lead

Julia began my career at Prescott Animal Hospital in 1996 where she worked for the next nine years.

Roslyn
Customer Care Team

Her whole life Roslyn found comfort in the company of animals. When she’s been happy, scared, sad or just in need of a hug it has always been her dog Gerty that she turns to (or any available four-legged furry friend, down for a snuggle). At every party, social event or even walking down the street – you can be sure that she will seek out and find an animal companion to hang out with. It’s taken Roslyn a few different career paths, in finance and customer service and an education in urban planning to realize that her real place is being surrounded by animals everyday. People say that when you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life and that couldn’t be more true (excuse the extreme cheesiness of that last line, I promise I’m normally better than that). Roslyn has found that perfect balance, snuggling your pet companions, at the Brockville Animal Hospital.

Outside of work you’ll find her either in the kitchen, cooking up some gourmet magic or in the great outdoors, enjoying whatever the day has to offer.

Payton
Customer Care Team

Growing up in the very small town of Lansdowne, around lots of wildlife, always having a couple of dogs, a cat, and on horseback at least twice a week, it really wasn’t long before Payton knew that she wanted to be surrounded by animals as a career

Payton’s spare time involves lots of outdoors! Concerts, events, fairs, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, trail riding with the barn friends, and spending lots of time with her fur children, Remi, Crush and Rhylie!

What really caught her eye in veterinarian medicine was being a kennel student and doing some Client Care work at age 13 at her hometown clinic as well as having to do lots of equine emergency first aid courses. (Something she told herself she needed to do before finally purchasing her first horse at age 15!). Working constantly before and after school at her boarding stables. As well as digging deeper on how to further her education in the Vet Med world and currently undergoing steps to become a Veterinarian Technician.

Payton was ecstatic to be welcomed onto BAH’s wonderful team with open arms, and to build connections with such amazing clients!

Miranda recently joined the Brockville Animal Hospital family in January of 2023. She has been in customer service for 10+ years and has always enjoyed making positive and genuine connections with anyone she encounters! One of things she loves about BAH and the role she plays here is being able to be a familiar face during happy and/or sad times with clients and their sweet furry friends! It truly is so rewarding to cross paths with someone outside of work, and they feel comfortable enough to say hi, because of that connection that was built through team BAH. As much as she is here for her love of animals, she has a passion for client care too, she wants to ensure she makes you, as pet owners, feel valued, heard and seen.

A little bit about Miranda; She was born and raised here in Brockville and grew up in a household that always had four-legged family members, so naturally her love for animals started at a very young age and has only grown with time. Outside of work, you can find her with her little dog, Chase!

In 2007, Jonelle and her husband decided to try out business ownership which led her to take a partial leave. Over the course of ten years she felt fortunate enough to continue to fill in on an as-needed basis while running her businesses. She appreciated still being considered a part of such a fantastic team! In 2015 Jonelle returned to the BAH Team on a regular basis. It has been very rewarding to be back, she says! She has enjoyed taking on different marketing/PR and admin rolls at BAH but you will still find her filling in on the front desk from time to time.

Outside of the clinic Jonelle enjoys spending time doing outside activities, cuddling with their many pets, camping, and cooking with her husband and daughter.

Tilly
Ambassador (Boss Cat)

Tilly, started with the Brockville Animal Hospital in the Spring of 2011. We had a void to fill and she qualified as our new ambassador. Tilly fits in very well with our team and has made herself right at home. You can often find her snuggling with a staff member or called upon for her comforting abilities. She is very talented at purring and juggling her crinkle balls. Tilly is always eager to visit with clients. Come on in to see her, she will be waiting to welcome you and your pet. But please be sure to check your carrier, she sometimes likes to catch-a-ride!

River
Junior Ambassador (Baby Boss Cat)

River, started with the Brockville Animal Hospital in the Spring of 2022. We had a void to fill and she qualified as our new Junior Ambassador for our Brockville Waterfront Veterinary Services location. River fits in nicely with our team and has made herself right at home. You can often find her chasing her toys around the hospital or laying in the sun, people watching in one of our river-facing windows.
