Dannielle Gauci, RVT

You know those people who knew what they wanted to do for a living from the age of 5? Dannielle is one of those. That she would work with animals was never a question. She’s volunteered at the Toronto Wildlife Centre, done community outreach for a private zoo, and worked in general practice (cats, dogs, and exotics). She brings an abundance of heart and tech-savvy to SOVH and is known for thinking both on her feet and outside the box.

Why SOVH? “I love working with a dynamic group that’s quick to adopt the latest best practices and medical technology. This is a tech-forward place in every way.” DG

CAT OR DOG PERSON?
More of an ‘all creatures great and small’ person. She can’t remember a time she didn’t have more than one species sharing her home. She’s also worked with exotics, wildlife, and domestic pets along the way. Her current brood includes Hudson, a shy mixed breed rescue from Taiwan (he trusts her implicitly), her Jardine’s parrot, Fritz, and 5 crested geckos.
