Dr. Marie-Soleil Roy,DMV
Concerned about the well-being of nature and animals, Dr. Marie-Soleil Roy completed a bachelor’s degree in environment before embarking on her greatest passion, like her father, veterinary medicine. It is with great devotion that she takes care of your precious life companions. Conscientious and delicate, she will take the time to give you all the information you need, and to accompany you through the different stages of their lives. Minoune, a little rescue from the SPA, and Maisie, a retired racing greyhound, have long shared her life. Soon, another retired racing greyhound, a breed she’s particularly fond of, will be on her schedule!
“Taking care of nature and animals, is at the same time taking care of ourselves.”
