Our Staff
DOCTORS
Dr. Louise Langlais, DVM
Dr. Langlais graduated from the University of Guelph in 1986. She chose to become a veterinarian because she likes challenges, meeting people, and loves working with animals. She loves that every day is different. Her hobbies include cycling, hiking, reading, skiing, canoeing, and computers. Dr. Langlais writes a bi-weekly column “Ask a Vet” for The K-W Record newspaper, and is a regular guest on Roger’s t.v. Daytime show. She has three pets: Ernie the dog, and her two cats Stitch and Tino.
Dr. Jennifer Gibson
Dr. Gibson also loves animals and the medicine. She’s been a veterinarian since 1995. She chose to work at Hespeler Animal Hospital because of the great patients, great clients, and great staff. When she’s not at the clinic, she’s probably running, hiking, cottaging and hanging with kids and pets. Her animals include Rufus, an orange and white “monster cat” – 16 lbs soaking wet; Biscuit, a white and cream cat with some points, blue eyes (Purr machine); and Tiny, an 8 lb Shih Tzu, tiny in all ways, that loves kids and dress-up.
Dr. Judy Taylor
Dr. Taylor obtained her doctor of veterinary medicine in 1985. She is also a board-certified Clinical Pathologist and has her own business consulting about lab results and needle biopsies with other veterinarians; her knowledge in this field makes her a great asset to our practice! Dr. Taylor also loves working with people and pets. Science, medicine and animals is why she chose this career. She has four pets. Her hobbies include sports, hiking, reading, skiing, cooking, knitting, and her family. Dr. Taylor works at our clinic every Tuesday evening.
We also have a locum (replacement veterinarian) fill in when one of our doctors is on holiday. You can be assured we’re very choosy about who will help us care for your precious pets.

Cynthia has Sam and Seneca, two cats. She chose to work at our clinic because she wanted a career she loves.
