Dr. Dani Montoya decided at the age of 4 that she would like to become a veterinarian – at that time though, she specifically wanted to be an “Astronaut Vet!” looking after dogs and monkeys on their interstellar journeys! Since then, her career goals have shifted but her love of animals and constant drive for learning new things are unchanged. Dr. Dani finished high school in Wales and then returned to Alberta to pursue her undergrad at the University of Alberta. She went on to graduate from the University of Calgary with her Doctor in Veterinary Medicine in 2017.

Dr. Dani loves getting to meet (and snuggle) all the furbabies – it is amazing to see how they interact with their people and to watch their unique personalities shine. She takes pride in working with families to formulate a healthcare plan that works for each individual pet.

When not at work, Dr. Dani can be found attempting to actualize her latest sewing idea, trying to be a soccer player, watching Formula One with her friends, or going on backpacking travel adventures with her husband. She also loves taking photos of her ever-so-sophisticated tabby cat Frosty, the spicy but adorable kitten Aperol and the “such a good boy” German Shepherd Winston.
