Michelle Achter
Office Manager/Veterinary Technologist
Michelle has been with the Animal Clinic of Regina since she began in 1997 as a Veterinary Technologist and later moved into the position of Office Manager in 2010. Michelle and her husband, Jim, spend most of their time chasing around their twins, Tristan & Tyler, and little brother Logan. They enjoy the camping lifestyle whenever the Saskatchewan weather permits it and spend as many weekends as they can at their seasonal site at Alice Beach. Their family also includes a heeler/hound cross named Archie and a cat named Stan Lee, who both came to Michelle through the clinic. The entire family enjoys all kinds of sports and can be found cheering on the Riders, Team Canada, and the Blue Jays whenever a game is on!
Krista Goebel
Veterinary Technologist
Krista has been a vet tech for 19 years, but that time has done nothing to diminish her passion for caring for our patients. Graduating from SIAST, she spent her first year out of school with the Animal Clinic of Regina before moving to Penticton, BC. After almost a decade in BC, she returned home and has been with us since 2013. She strives to make each and every patient in her care as comfortable and pain-free as possible. She feels honoured to be witness to the strong human-animal bond she sees every day in the clinic. She carries that love home to her own brood: three dogs and four cats. Krista is the proud mom of a son who loves hockey and a daughter who loves band.
Scott Pilon
Veterinary Technologist
Scott graduated from Saskatchewan Polytechnic in June of 2016, receiving his Diploma in Veterinary Technology. He began working at Animal Clinic of Regina in 2013 as a Kennel Technician. Scott has a strong passion for caring for all sorts of animals, especially wildlife, which led him to volunteering with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan and Salthaven West. Scott enjoys the atmosphere of working at the Animal Clinic of Regina: performing lab work, anesthesia, and responding to fast-paced emergency situations. In particular, Scott enjoys the excitement of working in a walk-in clinic, because you never know what kind of situation you will be dealing with next. When Scott is not at work, he is busy caring for his two dogs, Denver and Marlee, driving all over the province to rescue injured wildlife, and fishing.
Charlene Trithart
Veterinary Technologist
Graduating from SIAST in 2006, Charlene has been a vet tech for 12 years. Her favourite part of working at the Animal Clinic of Regina is that no two days are ever the same. Not content to rest on her laurels, Charlene recently graduated with a nursing degree from the University of Regina. She still loves the staff and the clientele here, so she has agreed to continue to work part-time with us. She has a lovebird named Florence, two cats, Archie and Ferguson, and six horses. She loves to travel and have game nights with her friends.
Stacey Manley
Order Specialist/Assistant
Stacey joined our team in 2011. She says the best part of her job is helping clients with their furry friends. When she first started working here, she was behind the big front desk. Now Stacey works behind the scenes, ordering all the food and supplies the clinic needs to help your pets. She lives near Balgonie with her husband, Chris, and daughters, Jennifer and Caitlyn, as well as three German Shepherds and four horses. Stacey is a certified pet stylist from the Western Dog Grooming School in Maple Ridge, BC and owner of Hot Paws Grooming Salon. In her spare time, she enjoys target shooting and spending time on the farm.
Chantal Cattel
Receptionist
Chantal spent 10 years working with the Regina Humane Society as an Animal Protections officer before joining us here at the Animal Clinic of Regina. Her training includes animal behaviour and wildlife handling techniques. Chantal is a mom to three kids and she loves to spend time with them swimming, tobogganing, skating, and playing with their two cats and two dogs!
Darcy McIntyre
Receptionist
Most weekdays, you’ll see Darcy sitting behind our reception desk. While she enjoys helping people get through stressful and tough times (because it can be hard on our clients when their pets are hurting), Darcy mostly loves the puppies she gets to see now and then at the clinic! The best part of working at the Animal Clinic of Regina is the teamwork she witnesses each and every day among the staff. She also enjoys watching the surgeries and learning all she can about veterinary medicine. Her hobbies include cooking and playing bass in a local band. Her two dogs, Max and Maeby, are benefiting from her interest in training and dog sports.
Kim Middleton
Receptionist
After graduating from St. Lawrence College (Kingston, ON) with a diploma in Animal Health Technology in the 1970s, Kim did a lot of travelling. In fact, she did 22 years of it throughout Western Canada and the western United States before finally settling down in Regina. Kim joined the staff of the Animal Clinic of Regina in July of 2000 as a receptionist and truly loves it. She looks forward to going to work every day and seeing our wonderful clients. Her family includes her son, Rawley, and her partner, Lou, who recently retired from Degelman’s after more than 20 years.
