Are you curious about what it's like to work at Quinte Regional Pet Hospital? Here's what Dr. Pounder has to say:

"Hello, my name is Megan Pounder. In 2018 I completed a lifelong dream of mine by becoming a veterinarian. After graduation, I worked at a regular daytime Veterinary clinic for two years before moving to Quinte Regional Pet Hospital as an after-hours and Emergency Medicine Doctor. Since joining the Quinte Regional Animal Hospital, I have come to love the ability to connect with owners and their pets on a deeper level addressing not only their present concerns but all of the animals' health concerns since there are no appointment time slots and time limitations. Since starting here, I can make a huge impact - not only in the short term but the long term for both the owner and the patient. On top of this, I work with an amazing team of Veterinary Technicians and Assistants who make doing this much easier as they go above and beyond not only with the patients but also to help me perform my best. Plus, they always do it enthusiastically and readily, making our clients' and patients' experience that much better. We are so lucky to be servicing this beautiful area full of many fantastic indoor and outdoor opportunities that allow everyone from every walk of life with every type of passion to thrive. Cedric (my Irish Wolfhound) and I would love to welcome anyone to the team to continue to grow the love and support Quinte Regional Pet Hospital have to offer not only for our clients and patients but also for the community, as we are such an essential part to helping our clients during the hours where they are the most desperate and scared for which they are truly grateful for."
