Cassandra Hodgson – Receptionist/Vet Assistant
My name is Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie. I am a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University and a new addition to the Keswick and Dalton Road Veterinary Team. I own two Jack Russell Terriers, Molly a 6-year-old female, and 2 and a half-year-old male Marty. When I am not working with Dr. McNeil and his associates, you can find me on the soccer pitch, playing with my two fur babies in the yard, or spending time with friends. My interest in working with and for animals began at an early age while spending my time on my family and riding instructors’ farms. This interest has grown into a passion to promote animal wellness, and I am excited for this new opportunity with Dalton Road and Keswick Veterinary Clinics.
