Dr. Josh Skapinker

Dr. Josh grew up in North Toronto and holds a B.Sc. with Honours in Biology from the University of Western Ontario, followed by an M.Sc. in Animal Physiology and Nutrition from the University of Guelph. He completed his veterinary training at Michigan State University, graduating with the class of 2020.

Josh has had the opportunity to work with a wide range of exotic species—including rhinoceros, giraffes, impala, and elephants—and his passion for wildlife conservation is deeply rooted in his South African heritage. At Eglinton Veterinary Facilities, he brings special interests in dermatology, cardiology, and surgery, and has received specialized training in laparoscopic procedures.

His goal with every patient visit is to make the experience positive for everyone involved. He values collaboration with families, helping them make informed decisions with openness and honesty.

Outside the clinic, Josh enjoys spending time with his growing family and their Bearded Collie, Benny. He also loves traveling overseas and embracing outdoor activities year-round, whether it’s hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter.
