John Las, DVM

Prior to my graduation from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2010, I completed my undergraduate studies in Animal Science at the Ontario Agricultural College. Upon graduation from OVC in 2010 I was fortunate to be hired immediately by Drs. Reid and Perry. It is a privilege to work and consult with the other veterinarians in a team-oriented practice.

My interest for animals began at a young age on my father’s small cow-calf hobby farm. After the cattle were sold my father encouraged me to ride along with his veterinarian Dr. Henk ten Oever for take a kid to work day in grade 9. The experience I had that day reassured me of what I wanted to do for a career.

I practice mixed animal medicine and provide service to both our large and small animal clients, which brings variety to my career. I enjoy working with our producers ensuring the health, productivity and welfare of their animals.

I am an advisor to our Dairy producers for CQM (the Canadian Quality Milk program) an on-farm food safety program to ensure the safety of meat and milk leaving our dairy farms and entering our grocery stores.

Continuing education is important to me, so I am an active member of the OABP, AABP, IAFAS where I stay up-to-date with current thoughts and practices in bovine medicine and surgery. I am also a member of the Niagara Peninsula Veterinary Association, which allows me to attend evening lectures on current topics in small animal medicine. (Source)
