Meet The Founders Of Rivière-du-Nord Veterinary Clinic

Discover the uplifting story of our founding veterinarians, Dr. Caroline Normand and Dr. Emilie Roy, whose exceptional paths and heartwarming bond led to the creation of our clinic.

The story of this unique friendship began in 2015 when Emilie worked as an animal health technician alongside Caroline, who was already a practicing veterinarian.

Over the next three years, Emilie and Caroline formed a dynamic duo, sharing their knowledge and passion for animal care. However, their paths temporarily diverged when Emilie moved to St-Hyacinthe to pursue her studies in veterinary medicine.

In 2021 they were finally reunited when Emilie obtained her Doctor of veterinary medicine degree. Their reunion marked the beginning of a new era in their professional collaboration. Ever  since, they have worked together with outstanding synergy.

Driven by their shared vision and irrefutable bond, Caroline and Emilie envisioned opening a veterinary clinic. With determination, they turned this ambitious dream into reality, offering our community an institution dedicated to the health and well-being of our companions.

Today, Dr. Caroline Normand and Dr. Emilie Roy stand at the heart of our clinic, with their complementary expertise and unwavering commitment to animal health.

Dr. Caroline Normand graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in St-Hyacinthe in 2008.

Mother of three (human!) children, Caroline is a busy bee excelling in multitasking, effortlessly managing numerous tasks and responsibilities simultaneously. Being a social butterfly, it is important for her to take the time to talk and connect with each of her clients. This also makes her a unifying force within our team; by always adding a touch of humor to brighten our days.
