She has a special interest in animal nutrition and exotic pets.

"Quality Comes First"

Meet Dr. Paul (Palanivel Thanakkan) B.V.Sc-Veterinarian.

Dr. Paul has been practicing veterinary medicine for twenty-one years. He earned his degree from Madras Veterinary College, the oldest veterinary college in India. In his initial days of practice, he dealt with small and large animals.

After moving from India in 2008, Dr. Paul worked and volunteered in different small animal hospitals in British Columbia. He, his wife, and two sons moved to Regina to start Regent Park Animal Hospital. They are now happy to call Regina home.


Dr. Paul has vast experience not only in surgical and medicinal cases, but also in semen collection evolution, processing, and artificial insemination of small and large animals.
