Meet Our New Vet Dr. Katie Richardson!

Dr. Katie Richardson has extensive experience in United States veterinary practices and was hand-picked by Dr. Sargent to join the Peterborough team! While attending veterinary school, she did some training here at our facility and Dr. Sargent was very impressed with her knowledge and compassion for animals.

Dr. Richardson is from Cobourg, Ontario, and grew up riding horses and owning all sorts of pets at home. She was only in high school when she started volunteering at vet clinics around Peterborough. Dr. Richardson relocated to Scotland to study zoology at St. Andrews University, traveling throughout Europe and abroad during her four years of undergraduate coursework—she even worked with wildlife veterinarians in South African safari parks! Next, she attended the Royal School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland and discovered her love for companion animal medicine during her final year. 

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Katie to our team and can’t wait for her to meet your beloved family friends!
