Nicola & Kip

Small Animal Veterinarian & Animal Therapy Volunteer, Island Health

Nicola is a small animal veterinarian who volunteers for Island Health with her husky mix, Kip.

She volunteers because having spent time as a patient herself, she knows the impact that animal therapy can have on patients in healthcare settings.

She also loves connecting with patients and staff and seeing their faces light up when Kip enters the room.
