Owner/Veterinarian

Hello, I am Dr. Sukhwinder Singh Jhoje. I completed my Bachelors of Veterinary Sciences (B.V. Sc) from India’s prestigious Punjab Agricultural University in 2001, there after I pursued my Masters of Science from University of Guelph in 2004.

I always had passion for Small Animal Practice, I have been practicing Veterinary Medicine and Surgery for more than 15 years. My family and I moved to North America after receiving certification from the American Veterinary Medical Association in 2016. For more than 3 years, I worked as Associate Veterinarian in different small animal practices in San Jose, California, USA.

I completed my Certification of Qualification in 2018 and earned DVM Licensure from Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. I practiced as Associate Veterinarian in different Day time and Emergency practices in the Niagara region.

In an effort to provide pet owners with excellent medical care for their furry family members at affordable prices, I started Riverside Animal Hospital, Guelph in Jan 2022. I have a special interest in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Soft Tissue Surgery, General and Orthopedic surgeries.

In my spare time, I love reading, traveling, and hiking with my two sons and spend time with my wife and friends.

Katie

Registered Veterinary Technician

I’m Katie, and for as long as I can remember I’ve always known I wanted a career working with animals. I graduated from the University of Guelph in 2021 with a degree in Animal Biology, and in 2022, I returned to University of Guelph’s Ridgetown campus to become a veterinary technician. I graduated in spring of 2024, and am now a proud Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). When I’m not at work, you’ll find me spending time with my animals or creating art. My own animal family at home includes a dog, two cats, four rats, a ball python, a bearded dragon, a goldfish tank, and two tarantulas, who keep me on my toes every day!

Cooking and playing with my younger cousins are also some of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. My passion for animal welfare and making meaningful connections with people drive me to continue making an impact wherever I can.
