Dr. Elizabeth Shiland, DVM
Dr. Liz Shiland has practiced in Ontario since 2008.
Originally from Maine, she attended veterinary school in Prince Edward Island, and after graduation came to Ontario to pursue a career in sport horse medicine. With a strong interest in Standardbred racing, southern Ontario was a natural fit to start her own practice in March 2016.
When not working with horses, Dr. Shiland enjoys being outdoors, skiing, traveling, beekeeping, and spending time with her kids Adrien and Ruby and Partner Eric.

Emma Cobban
I am originally from London, Ontario, but lived in BC for about 6 years before moving to Guelph to attend university. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Science degree specializing in Animal Biology at the university of Guelph.
I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, but it was horse riding that truly sparked my interest in pursuing veterinary medicine. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I plan to apply to the OVC in hopes of becoming an equine vet. I have worked with various small animals and horses.
When I’m not working, I enjoy going on hikes with my dog, Luna, and spending time with my friends and family.
