CARNDUFF - The Carnduff Bordervet Animal Health Services was established in 1973 by Dr. Sidney Griffin.
Griffin was born and raised in the Okanagan Valley in B.C. In 1969 he moved to Saskatoon to study at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.
Upon receiving his degree, he moved to Carnduff to begin his veterinarian practice.
Griffin put in long days to establish his clinic, which has paid off for him with his lengthy list of clients.
Not only is Griffin a cattle vet and a small animal vet, but he also has a great deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to horses.
Dr. Trevor Griffin followed in his father’s footprints and is also a veterinarian at the Carnduff Bordervet Animal Services
Trevor studied first at the University of Saskatchewan in animal science, then attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. He completed his degree in 2003 and joined his father at the Carnduff clinic.
Trevor and his wife and three children reside in Carnduff.
He is now the manager of the Carnduff Bordervet Animal Health Service as Griffin has semi-retired, although he still helps out when it gets exceptionally busy.
Both Griffins have a great deal of experience with cattle. They are always striving to help farmers with herd production and herd health.
Equine is a specialty for both Griffins. They understand the importance of keeping horses in top shape and healthy for the variety of sports that horses enter.
In 2002, Bordervet was incorporated and in 2006 it added a sister clinic in Melita, Man., with Dr. Corey Jones, veterinarian technician Karen Summer and receptionist Brittany Fletcher.
At the Carnduff office a new face will be seen, as Dr. Glenda Gueco just recently joined the team.
Registered veterinarian technician Tanya Brown is always ready to assist the veterinarians. Brown will travel to farm calls and is on hand to help out any way she can. Brown graduated with distinction from Lakeland College in 1998 and especially enjoys small animal anesthesia/surgery and cat medicine.
Kailey Dunnigan is the receptionist but is also a veterinarian office assistant.
If it isn’t Dunnigan that answers the phone, it will be Sydney Parker or Sheila Gay.
One might see high school students regularly at the Carnduff Bordervet. They come in to shadow the staff to see if this might be their future career.
Although exotic animals are not something they usually care for, they do have two bearded dragons named Sammie and George who have made the clinic home.
Dogs and cats are also a huge part of this practice. They offer spay and neuters and have a full supply of animal medicines in their pharmacy.
Bordervet Animal Services provides emergency services, dental care and surgeries. They have a full-service animal hospital as well.
The clinic offers friendly service with information and support to all their clients, while keeping a superior work environment for their staff.
It is their motto to offer the highest standards in veterinarian care and offering support to all pet parents.
