management and preventive care and she participates in frequent continuing education in these areas to provide the best care for her patients. Outside of work Dr. Wernham is known for baking delicious treats, coaching her children’s soccer teams and hiking with her Golden Retriever.

Dr. Hunter has a passion for feline medicine, surgery and behaviour. Owning a grey tabby named Annie who has always been very anxious during hospital visits has inspired Dr. Hunter to nurture a “cat friendly” environment for her feline patients. Dr. Hunter is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners which is committed to help practitioners improve the health and welfare of cats.

When she is not caring for her patients, Dr. Hunter enjoys an active lifestyle which includes triathlons, travelling, scuba diving, and enjoying the outdoors. Dr. Hunter shares her home with her Australian Cattle Dog cross named Benita, two kitties named Pollywog and Emmy Lu, and a bunny named Mr. Boo.

 cemented my love and my passion for this field. I have spent the majority of my life in clinics and believe that this is where I belong. My special interests include complex nursing care, chronic disease management and nutrition.

I have been working in hospital management for the past 12 years and am honoured to have started a position with Presqu’ile Animal Hospital in May 2021. I am looking forward to meeting our clients, welcoming new families to our practice and providing a high level of service and care.

When I am not at work, I am spending time with my 2 human babies and my 4 pets!

This is where I discovered I wanted to become a Veterinarian Technician and went on to graduate from Georgian College in 2017. A few years later I moved to the Northumberland area and joined the Presqu’ile Animal Hospital team in 2020.  When I’m not in scrubs you can find me on the couch cross stitching, playing with my dog Tucker or cuddled up with my cat Jim. I also enjoy spending time out on the water seadooing or on the trails ATVing. I also spend my time in the kitchen baking and decorating cookies.

has bloomed from there. I graduated from St. Lawrence College Veterinary Technology program in 2006 and returned back home to Northumberland to start my official career. I spent many years working in a companion animal practice as a technician during which time I received my certification in Canine rehabilitation therapy. I genuinely love the people and patients I have met along the way.
I have a passion for customer and patient care; I strongly believe every call should be answered with a smile. I know how precious these relationships are and want to be there to help you navigate the ups and downs of your pet’s health journey.
Apart from my beloved fur children (a Labrador Retriever named Rocketship and two kitties Cookie and Pizza) I am also a mom to two incredible little humans and it has been a great pleasure of mine to share my love of animal care with them. As a family we have fostered many animals and hand bottle raised dozens of orphan kittens. When I have some free time, you can usually find me exploring beautiful Northumberland with my family; we love to walk, bike and hike. I also love a good book, a cozy fire and some cranked up tunes!

“What was I doing” and “Where does this belong?” While I’m a new hire with this clinic, I started my journey in veterinary medicine over 18 years ago as a high school co-op student. I graduated from Ridgetown College in 2007, so long ago that they have since changed the name! Upon graduation I headed vaguely “West,” landing in Calgary. Calling it my home for the next 5 years working in several clinics and meeting my now husband Boyd. He’s my favourite souvenir. Fast forward a few years and an epic cross-country adventure in a 99 Astro van named Gertie. We’ve relocated to a lovely home in Wooler with our senior German Shepherd Ember and two cats Gilbert and Arnie. That brings us to now. Can I please pet your dog?!

 emergency department of one of the referral hospitals there.  After moving back home to Northumberland County I wrote my registration exam in 2015 and have worked in multiple clinics in the area ever since. I enjoy monitoring anesthesia and the challenging and fast-paced atmosphere of emergency and critical care medicine. When I am not at work, you can find me at our family cottage, horseback riding or working around our property with the help of our boxer/husky mix named “Bauer” and our cat named “Merlin”.

Technician program at Georgian College in Orillia in 2013 and obtained my full registration status that same year. When I lived in Orillia I volunteered at Stonegate Farms, which is a therapeutic horse riding farm for disabled children, and I loved seeing the healing power of the human-animal bond.  I did both of my placements at the Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic, in 2012, and 2013 and was hired shortly after in June 2013. I was living in Bowmanville and soon met my husband, I then moved out to Northumberland. After years of commuting to Bowmanville I opted to find a job closer to home and I found the team at Presquile Animal Hospital. The best part of being a Veterinary Technician is that you are constantly learning something new all of the time. Not only from peers, but also from the clients. In my free time I enjoy spending time hiking, fishing, hunting with my husband, son, and our dog Boone. As well as curling up on the couch with our three cats.

what fuels my soul! 

The most fulfilling aspect of my job is being able to make a difference in the lives of the animals we help and the lives of their pet parents. 

Every day is different and that’s what keeps it exciting. You may find me educating clients, taking blood, taking radiographs and along with many other things. 

Presqu’ile Animal Hospital is filled with so many wonderful and supportive staff members and I’m thrilled to be part of such a caring, compassionate and cohesive team!

I live in Port Hope with my husband, Dave and two daughters, Gwynivere and Persephone and our three delicious cats, Bartleby, Moo and Sargent Tibbs

In my spare time I enjoy family adventures, camping, canoeing, crafting, gardening and connecting with friends and family. 

Assistant in 2016. Outside of work, you’ll find Tianna with her dog Darla exploring the wilderness, at the beach or enjoying her time with family. She also likes to paint, read and go skating.
