Dr. France Cyr
I grew up on the East Coast in a small Acadian village, with a very imaginative sister and a cat named Pouf. His mother was a stray cat and she gave birth in our house. We had many adventures with him. That’s around the time I knew I wanted to become a vet.
I graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown, PEI, in 2014. I practised veterinary medicine in New Brunswick, in the Yukon where I was treating companion animals, and in London since 2019. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for every pet’s unique quirks and personality. Whether it’s a cat growling while eating treats because its more hungry than mad, or a dog showing their tap-dancing skills in exchange for a snack, I love discovering what makes each animal special.
My primary focus is end-of-life care—a deeply emotional yet profoundly meaningful part of my work. Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest experiences a person can go through, and I’ve been there myself. I understand the emotions and the weight of the decision, and I’m dedicated to making those final moments as peaceful and meaningful as possible—for both the pet and their family.
As a mobile veterinarian, I value the ability to slow down, connect, and provide care in a familiar environment. Without the stress of a clinic visit, pets are often more at ease (or at least less suspicious!). Being welcomed into a pet’s home also allows me to truly observe their behavior and offer more personalized insights and care.
I currently share my home with Cece, a lovable yet chaotic lab/golden mix, and two senior cats—Gargamel, the affectionate head-bumper, and Petit, who prefers the role of quiet roommate.
I strive to approach every visit with warmth, compassion, and respect, ensuring that pets and their families feel comfortable and supported. I believe in providing gentle guidance without pressure, allowing families to make the best decisions for their pets. My goal is to make veterinary care more personal and meaningful, creating a calm and supportive experience during every stage of a pet’s life.
Fun Facts:
"France" is a common francophone first name on the East Coast and in Quebec.
I initially pursued a teaching career, which was short lived. One day a grade 8 student told me she wanted to become a vet, and I thought: so do I.
