Veterinarian
DVM
Dr Krysia Chipperfield initially worked as a registered nurse before pursuing her passion in veterinary medicine. While she loved medicine in general she could not deny the inherent draw of animals. Therefore, she travelled to Saskatoon and graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016.
After returning home to BC, she practiced for several years at a busy small animal hospital in Richmond. She then decided to move back to the North Shore and started working as a locum veterinarian at various clinics tending to North Vancouver’s beloved companion animals. Krysia enjoys internal medicine and preventative health, and tries to cater treatments to each individual client and pet. She loves the intricacies and challenges of small animal medicine, not to mention the wide array of canine and feline personalities and life stages. Whether it's a wellness visit or end of life care, she finds it an honour to care for your pet.
When not working, Krysia enjoys the mountains and seaside with her family of four, and of course Frankie (the sweetest tuxedo cat) and Beans (the small but mighty dachshund).
