For Dr. Mireille Cardinal, joining Eglinton Veterinary Facilities feels like coming full circle. She grew up in the neighbourhood, and this clinic was where her own family brought their pets. A connection that carried her from high school volunteering through vet school and back home again as a veterinarian.

Mireille earned her veterinary degree with distinction at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, gaining experience across the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada. During her Emergency and Specialty Medicine Internship in Toronto, she managed complex cases and critically ill patients. She practices with a fear-free approach towards her patients, compassionate care with a strong focus on preventative medicine. Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, she connects easily with a wide range of families, ensuring clear communication and personalized care from playful puppies and kittens to beloved senior pets.

Outside the clinic, she can be found running on the nearby Beltline, travelling, reading, or sharing a good meal with friends. She also has an interest in public health, particularly human-wildlife interaction, and hopes to further contribute in this area.
