Dr. Landsbergen then moved to Sundre, Alberta where she completed secondary school at Sundre High School. She officially moved to Fort Mcmurray in 2018. Prior to moving here, she traveled back and forth to Fort Mcmurray to visit her now husband, Adam. Together they are paw-rents to their 5 year old mixed breed dog named Chip, and their Australian Cattle Dog named Remi, who is 4.5 yrs old. They are very handsome boys! Dr. Landsbergen takes pride in being a part of the companionship between owners and their pets, helping to ensure the longest and highest quality of relationship between them. As a veterinarian, each day will bring new challenges and situations. In the more difficult moments, Dr. Landsbergen reminds herself to always look ahead and strive to make a positive impact on others lives. These different challenges presented to Dr. Landsbergen is also one of her favorite things about being a DVM. Wildlife conservation is extremely important to Dr. Landsbergen, now more than ever given the recent fires throughout Australia and Brazil. Dr. Landsbergen has also worked at a wildlife rehabilitation center before pursuing Veterinary school. She grew up around many animals and has had the pleasure of owning horses, goats, chickens, cows and more. If she was to be able to have any animal she would choose a Highland cow because they are furry and sweet! During the time Dr. Landsbergen is not at work, she enjoys traveling, finding new adventures and spending time with her dogs and family! Dr. Landsbergen is a total foodie and always has the best snacks, which is perfect since she is also a movie lover. Whether attending vet school, exploring new countries, working on her patients or talking with a client, Dr. Landsbergen always gives 120%! Dr. Landsbergen is passionate about all aspects of Veterinary Medicine, but has a special interest in equine medicine, dermatology (skin) & ophthalmology (eyes). She plans to continuously improve her knowledge and skills in all aspects of her career. Dr. Landsbergen is a wonderful example of a dedicated doctor who truly gives her all to her clients and their pets, and we couldn't be more grateful to have her on the NVS team!
