Dr. Daniel Mudrick, B.Sc., D.V.M.
Hospital founder and owner, Dr. Daniel Mudrick B.Sc., D.V.M., is a 1981 graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. Dr. Mudrick spent several years in emergency and critical care medicine in Toronto, before opening the Clarkson Village Animal Hospital in Sept. 1987. He started his dream with one staff member, lots of perseverance, and a lot of hope. By caring for one patient at a time, the hospital continued to grow, and after several years had become large enough that an expansion was needed. In the winter of 2000 all of the facilities, including the surgical and diagnostic equipment, were upgraded in order to provide the highest level of health care for our patients.
Dr. Mudrick's family lives with a black and white dare-devil kitten, who plays with, amuses and sometimes terrorizes them all! They have shared their lives with several special pets over the years, whose portraits you will see throughout the hospital. Rosie is the newest addition, a 4 pound dog of completely unknown origin, but with a huge heart!
He knows first hand what it is like when your furry family member becomes sick and needs special veterinary attention.
During those rare times when Dr. Mudrick is not at the hospital he can be found hiking and spending time with his family. He also enjoys reading to stay current on the most recent advances in veterinary medicine.
"I realize that choosing a veterinarian is as important as choosing a family physician. Our caring, sensitive and dynamic staff will proudly discuss, diagnose and teach you what you need to know in order to make the best possible choices for your pet. We pride ourselves in effective communication and treasure the relationships we have with our clients and pets. We truly love what we do and welcome the opportunity to share this with you."
Dr. Susan Dewit-Kawiuk, B.Sc., D.V.M.

After several years of working with companion animals and horses in Southern Ontario, Dr. Dewit-Kawiuk found a permanent home here at the Clarkson Village Animal Hospital in 1992. Her many years of experience and warm personality have a comforting effect on our clients and their pets.
"You know your pets better than anyone and I take your concerns about their health seriously. I see each pet as a new family member since I consider my own dog a member of my family. By spending quality time with you and your pet, it allows me to discuss preventive health care as well as explain what are sometimes complex medical issues in plain English."
