Speaker Series | Ask A Vet

Join us for our inaugural Speaker Series! Our guest speaker is Dr. Kyla Mayrhofer Medical Director at Alcona Animal Hospital.
This session will address some of the spring dangers for dogs, what signs to watch for and some of the treatments. Write down your questions and bring them to this online session. This will be a perfect opportunity to learn, share and connect with others about pet health.
Dr. Kyla Mayrhofer Medical Director
Kyla is a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. Kyla’s love for animals began at a young age with her family dogs and lead her to explore many aspects of veterinary medicine, including work with milking sheep, horses, exotic and companion animals. Her interests include surgery, dentistry and senior pet care. She loves helping pets through an illness with low-stress handling and treatments, and the best feeling is returning them to their families feeling better! No day is complete without a kitty cuddle and a dog kiss but poodles will get a little extra love.
This is a free event put on by the JRTRO, however, donations will be greatly accepted in lieu of a registration fee. Link to the session will be sent the day of the event to the pre-registered list.
