With the arrival of the first of their three sons, he and his wife, Daphne moved back to southern Ontario and a small animal practice in Carlisle. In 1989 he joined the Grimsby Animal Hospital. He particularly enjoys veterinary dentistry and surgery. Volunteer work with Trinity United Church and coaching Grimsby Basketball Association house league teams have been rewarding activities. In his spare time he enjoys photography. Dr. Davis is pictured with his Springer Spaniel “Kelly”. They also have another Springer Spaniel, Logan, in their household.
Dr. Suzi Peters graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1994. She worked at Dundas Animal Hospital as a mixed practitioner for 2 years caring for pets and also farm animals. In 1996 her preference for small animal medicine brought her to the Grimsby Animal Hospital. Dr. Peters became a partner in the practice in March, 2002. She enjoys medicine and surgery for all pets, including a keen interest in “pocket pets” like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets, etc. Dr. Peters is quite involved in the Veterinary profession outside of the practice. She is the president of the Niagara Peninsula Veterinary Association, which involves planning monthly educational meetings for the veterinarians in the area, along with some social events for the group. She also is a Board member of the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association, which meets every other month in the Toronto area.

In 1990 Dr. Cline relocated to Great Britain and further developed her medical and surgical skills in a practice near Canterbury, Kent.

She joined Grimsby Animal Hosptial in 1999. Dr. Cline enjoys working with dogs, cats, rabbits and pocket pets. She is married with three boys and resides in the Grimsby area with her cat and guinea pigs.
Dr. Dalia Gough is a 2002 graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph. Both her parents are veterinarians so she has enjoyed a lifetime of experience with the profession. She grew up in Mount Bridges, Ontario, a small town just north-west of London. Before joining us in 2003, Dr. Gough divided her time between an equine practice and a companion animal practice. She has a special interest in surgery and ultrasound examinations. Dr. Gough enjoys spending time with her husband and young children. She also enjoys trail riding with her horse Sailor, swimming, hockey and relaxing with her cats, Alice and Walter, and Josie, the Jack Russell Terrier.
I took a longer path to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I became a Registered Veterinary Technician first and worked for a couple of years before getting the courage to move to Prince Edward Island. My goal to attend the Atlantic Veterinary College was achieved and I haven’t been happier. I’m grateful for the opportunity to do what I love for a living, helping people and their snuggly pets has been the most rewarding experience. Currently, I’m kept busy with small animal practice and emergency clinic services...and of course, my own crazy critters!
