Natasha
Registered Veterinary Technician
As a youngster Natasha was always outside, catching frogs, and getting dirty. She grew up in Vancouver and moved out to Oakville with her family when she was a teenager. She first came to Burloak Animal Hospital in 1993 as a client with her 2 cats. She began horse back riding and took up dressage, which is sort of like horse dancing. She entered many shows and later owned her own horse when her family bought a farm in Flamborough. On their farm they had 3 horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, rabbits, cats and 2 dogs (Golden Retriever and Newfoundland). When she wasn’t at school she would be outside with her animals and tending to the hay fields with her dad.
One of her earlier summer jobs was at Dyments Farm as a “Milker”. Natasha was in charge of their dairy herd of about 60 cattle. She would start bright and early every morning at 5am milking the cows, letting them out to pasture and cleaning the stalls. She would also take care of the many barn cats that roamed around, giving them leftover milk that the calves didn’t want. The Dyments ended up selling their herd, but only after they named one of their calves after Natasha!
Natasha graduated from Ridgetown College in 2005 as a Registered Veterinary Technician, and has been with the Burloak family since 2006. She is an anaesthesiologist, radiologist, pharmacist, dental hygienist, and surgery assistant. She is the nurse that cares for your pet from the moment they come through our door. You may not see much of her because she is taking care of your furry family members.
Natasha currently shares her home in Hamilton with her husband, little girl, 5 cats, and a budgie. She is also expecting her second child in Feb 2014.
