 Dr. Heather moved to Vancouver Island shortly after graduating from high school to attend university. She graduated in 1999 with a BSc in Biology and then attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2004. Since graduating, she has lived and worked on Vancouver Island, first in Victoria and then in Port Hardy. She moved to Oceanside in 2011 and started working as a relief veterinarian. 

Dr. Heather is proud to be a co-owner of Heritage Animal Hospital, a locally owned and operated full service small animal veterinary hospital and is looking forward to serving the pets of Oceanside. 

She currently lives in Parksville with her daughters, three dogs, four cats, guinea pigs and fish.

Dr. Cindy graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 1992. After working in Alberta for a few years, she moved to Chilliwack where she eventually became the owner of Cheam View Veterinary Hospital. In 2011, Dr. Cindy moved to the Island. She worked at Pacific Rim Veterinary Hospital for ten years and then worked at Bellevue Veterinary Hospital and Mid-Isle Veterinary Hospital before deciding to join Heritage Animal Hospital. Since moving to the Island she has become a figure skating judge and enjoys traveling around the province and being part of the figure skating community.  She currently lives in Parksville with her three fur babies, a senior Pom X Chi cross and 2 cats.  Dr. Cindy is really looking forward to providing kind and compassionate care to all of your lovely pets.
