I obtained my veterinary degree in 1996 and started working as a large animal veterinarian and in pharmaceutical research and development in different countries until I moved to Canada with my family in 2011, I enjoy solving puzzles in complicated medical cases and also enjoy doing my share of surgeries, dentistry and exotics. I have one pretty cat that came to stay with me over the weekend until they were to be adopted, and the usual happened – they never left! I am happy to join the amazing team at Truscott animal Hospital and be able to have access to state of the art equipment. My goal is simple: treat my patients as if they are my own

Hello, my name is Mahir Yousif and I am currently a practicing technician at Truscott Animal Hospital. I earned my veterinary degree and qualifications back home and am now currently undergoing the process to establish my Canadian qualifications. As part of the process, I decided that in order to prepare for the qualifications as a North American veterinarian I enrolled in the VSTEP at the University of Guelph. As of recently I have completed the majority of the board assessments required to practice so that I am able to pursue my love of medicine and my passion of helping improve the quality of life and the health of animals around me.

My name is Vanessa, and I have loved animals my entire life. From feeding the squirrels in my backyard to the day I got my first puppy, I have always strived to help animals in need. I have two lively dogs of my own named Aero and Pixar. Although my dogs take up a large portion of my day, in my spare time I enjoy completing personal projects and spending time with my friends and family.

Hi! My name is Sloane Murray and I have my sights set on becoming a veterinarian. Since I was little it’s always been clear I have a passion for animals, playing with my family’s cattle, racehorses, ponies, and other farm animals whenever I got the chance. Veterinary medicine has always been my goal, and the care that veterinary professionals give to pets inspired me when I was young and continues to inspire me every day. Here in the clinic, I love working with all kinds of pets, especially dogs and reptiles, but I have a special interest in large animals and livestock, which we don’t see too much of in Mississauga! In my spare time you’ll find me at the barn, riding and training my two horses Charlotte, who I’ve owned for her entire life, and Chevy, as well as playing ringette and hockey as a goalie. Coming from a background in horses, I understand how important it is that your animal is happy and healthy, and it’s a privilege that I get to play a part in making the animals you love feel their best. I’ve been with Truscott Animal Hospital since December 2018 and I’m so happy to be part of such an amazing team!

I am in national level, competitive swimmer, training 24+ hours a week. I have a Portuguese Water Dog named Oreo. Our first dog was also a Portuguese Water Dog named Midnight. I have grown up surrounded by animals my whole life so, as you can guess, I have always had a passion for animals and animal wellbeing. I love working with, and helping animals, as well as their owners, so it only seems fitting that I work and gain experience so I can become a veterinarian in the future.

Hi Im Skylar, a coop student here at Truscott Animal Hospital. I attend school at Iona catholic secondary school. I’ve just recently started here and I’m in love with the place. I’ve been given the chance to fulfill my passion for helping animals every day here at the hospital as well as prepare myself for future schooling regarding becoming a vet technician.

I was born in the east end of Toronto where I lived for the first 18 years of my life. Growing up I enjoyed playing sports, video games, and volunteering at various animal facilities. After Highschool I moved to Waterloo where in 2019 I received a Bachelor of Science degree in the Honours Health Science program at Wilfred Laurier University. I am the proud owner of a beautiful dog (Ollie) and leopard gecko (Charlie). Most of my time now is dedicated to my passion for animals, whether it be learning something new from Dr. Meawad or helping animals in any way that I possibly can. My goal is to eventually attend Veterinary College and receive a DVM.
