KAITLIN PAUL
Veterinary Assistant
Kaitlin Paul graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health in 2019. Kaitlin came to us with a keen interest in optimizing the health of performance horses as well as an interest in how animal nutrition can be used as a tool to promote overall general health of our equine athletes. She's a successful competitor in both Extreme Cowboy competitions, having won the Extreme Cowboy Association Youth World Championship in 2014 and Reining, where she was the 2017 Canadian Supreme Limited Non Pro Champion. Kaitlin is adaptable and quick to learn, she's become an amazing asset to the veterinary team since she started with us in November of 2020 and we are excited to watch her grow within her position, and beyond. On any given day you can find her assisting any of our veterinarian's, but she spends a majority of her time with Dr. Hewlett and Dr. Smith.
