Dr. Erika Anseeuw graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 1997. She moved to Manitoba after graduation specifically for the outdoor opportunities as she is an avid outdoors person. We were very excited when she joined our team at Pembina Veterinary Hospital in the spring of 2018. Dr. Anseeuw has a keen interest in small animal surgery, reproduction and behaviour. She gained extensive experience in many types of surgery due to working for the Winnipeg Humane Society for many years. In her spare time, she likes crafting, fishing and picking mushrooms in the woods. She lives with her teenage son and her two dogs, Cedar & Gunny, and her cat named Piplip.

He is most interested in Internal Medicine but enjoys all aspects of providing assistance to pet parents as a general practitioner. If not at the clinic he is probably relaxing at home with his coresident felines Kimchi and Phoebe. Otherwise, he may be out discovering his next favourite place to eat or exploring the outdoors with his partner and their whippet named Atlas.
