 Our Veterinarians
Dr. Gabe Muller

Dr. Muller with Mama Cat

 

Dr. Gabe Muller graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1980. Over the years Dr. Muller has combined his interests in veterinary medicine, family and travel. He first spent several years in a specialty emergency practice developing skills needed to quickly evaluate and prioritize health problems as they are presented. He has spent the last number of years helping ensure the health and well being of family pets as owner of Vancouver Veterinary Hospital.

Dr. Muller maintains a broad perspective and whole animal approach to veterinary medicine. In addition to western medicine, Dr. Muller has completed courses in complimentary medicine including acupuncture. Because of the complicated and ever changing world of veterinary medicine, Dr. Muller maintains his skills in an ongoing manner with continuing education.

In addition to his love of veterinary medicine and pets, Dr. Muller also has the love of a family with four young active children.

Kayla

Kayla has been with the practice since spring of 2006 as a veterinary technician while studying at Thompson Rivers University.  In January 2010, she graduated from the university's Animal Health Technology program and is now a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT).

Since childhood, Kayla has always been surrounded by animals.  She is now owned by 3 cats: 

Atticus, a beautiful outgoing 4 year old long-haired boy which tends to be very bossy.

Madeline, a very shy but affectionate 3 year old female that was adopted from the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association.

Minou, the newest addition to the household, which is a 1 year old polydactyl kitten that was found abandoned in a box beside a river.

When she is not spending time with her felines, Kayla enjoys hiking, jogging and reading.

Jacqui

Jacqui has been with Vancouver Veterinary Hospital since 2008 and has brought us the humorous spirit of Ireland.  She is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and has a Bachelor or Arts degree from UCC Ireland (2003) and a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing from St. John's College Ireland (2007).

Jacqui has a soft spot for animals in need.  She lives with LeeRoy, which she rescued as an abandoned cat that needed a good home.  The latest addition is Poutine, a French Bulldog that was adopted from a rescue group.  Poutine was so shy when she first arrived, but now her personality has blossomed in her new loving home!

In her spare time, Jacqui loves watching movies, travelling, sewing, crafts, snowboarding, photography, blogging, and attending live music.  She can also speak a bit of the Irish language (yes it's a real language)!

Colleen

Colleen joined the team in summer of 2010 as Receptionist and Veterinary Assistant.  She has been in the veterinary field for four years and her experience at previous clinics has made her a great asset to our hospital.

Colleen lives with Fling, an adorable 2 1/2 year old domestic shorthaired female that always has that "deer-in-headlights" look on her face.  She was adopted as a kitten from the SPCA.  She also has Charlie, a 9 1/2 year old male Munsterlander that is a retired hunting dog.  He was adopted from a family that could no longer keep him.

When not spending time with her pets, Colleen enjoys baking, camping and travelling.

Luba

Luba joined the team in 2010 as Receptionist and Veterinary Assistant.  She recently moved from Winnipeg to enjoy the lovely west coast lifestyle.  She has been in the veterinary field for five years with a vast amount of experience working in other clinics.

Luba's household is run by Tyke, a black Labrador Retriever.  His lifelong buddy, Teddy, passed away earlier this year at the age of 15.  He is greatly missed.  Luba recently adopted Fritz, a goofy domestic medium haired feline that spent a few months at the hospital as our clinic cat.

In her spare time, Luba enjoys snowboarding, volleyball and keeping active in the great outdoors.

Her household is run by a cat named Sandra, a 13-year old black domestic shorthaired feline.  We will always have a special place in our hearts for Darrin, Allyssa's sweet, adorable and brave cat who passed away earlier this year.  We miss him dearly.

Allyssa is also the proud new owner of Mama Cat (our retired clinic cat)!

When Allyssa is not studying or working, she enjoys cooking, hiking and dancing.

 

 

Melody

Melody joined our team in May of 2010.  She received her degree in Veterinary Medicine in the Philippines and now works as a Veterinary Assistant.

Melody shares her home with Kissyfur, a 7 1/2 year old domestic shorthaired orange tabby.  He was relinquished as a diabetic cat whose previous family could no longer care for him.  After treatment and proper care, Kissyfur's diabetes went into remission.

In her spare time, Melody enjoys travelling, singing, and appreciating nature.  She is looking forward to doing more adventurous activities such as swimming with sharks, spelunking, and skydiving.

"Mama Cat"

We would like to congratulate "Mama Cat" for finding her forever home!

"Mama Cat" came to Vancouver Veterinary Hospital in 2003 as a rescue cat with a litter of kittens.  She became our beloved clinic cat for 8 years.  She was always spoiled with treats from team members and clients and was loved by all.

Although her presence will be greatly missed here at the hospital, we are happy that she has found a wonderful home for her retirement years!

"Fritz"

Fritz is a senior male cat that arrived at our clinic in June this year.  He was destined to go to the SPCA because his current family could no longer care for him.  It was just his luck (and ours) that he found us. 

He had become our clinic cat for a few months.  Then one of our team members fell in love with him and took him home!  He is now spoiled and cuddled every day in a smaller space that he can call his own.

Congratulations to Fritz for finding his forever home!!
