Dr. Martin Duckhorn

Hello Pet Parents,

I look forward to the opportunity to get to meet all of you and your beloved furry, and perhaps feathered or scaly, family members.

I did my training as a veterinarian in Melbourne, Australia. Prior to this I pursued my bachelors of science in evolutionary biology, conservation and ecology. Through my education I gained of course the skills and knowledge base to function as a competent veterinarian but more importantly it fostered a strong sense of curiosity regarding medicine and nature. Additionally, my education brought me into contact with numerous mentors that helped shape the diligence and discipline I look to provide to all of those I provide my services to.

Since completing my training as a veterinarian, I pursued a surgical internship with extensive emergency training, in British Columbia, Canada having finished in 2024. All the while I have been working as a general practitioner in the Lower mainland of BC. Currently, I am also awaiting a hopeful publication on a fascinating surgical oncology case report.

I primarily work with dogs and cats however I will always do my best to help any animal in need. I am not the greatest exotics veterinarian but in an industry where it can be difficult for exotics owners to find veterinarians to help provide care and education to owners I look to help in whatever ways possible. I do not work with horses but I have a deep affection for these magnificent animals. My passions with my work include surgery, anesthesia, cardiology and radiology but I will certainly attempt to provide the best care possible to my patients for anything they are presented for.

I currently have two beautiful yet trouble making cats named Persephone and Richard

Outside of work I love to exercise and spend a lot of time in the gym, running and hiking. My passion for animals extends into my love of nature and as such I am an avid outdoorsman spending as much of my free time as I can out in the mountains, forests and rivers camping, hunting and fishing.

I look forward to helping you all in whatever way possible.
