Aspen C.

Kennel Attendant

Originally from Vanderhoof BC, Aspen started at Murdoch in November 2022 after moving to Prince George to attend UNBC for her English degree and to be closer to the equestrian community here.

Having previously worked in veterinary care in Vanderhoof, Aspen got into this field because she was curious to see how veterinary practices functioned and wanted to further her knowledge and experience with animals. Her favourite part of working with animals is probably experiencing all of their different and unique personalities. Animals are so expressive, no two are the same!

Aspen knew she was in the right profession every time a pet and client go home healthier or happier than when they came in 🙂

Having grown up on a farm with many horses, dogs, and cats, Aspen also trains and rides horses outside of work for pleasure and competition.

Md Ferdous A.

Kennel Attendant

Originally from Bangladesh, Ferdous immigrated to Prince George, Canada, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a degree in veterinary medicine. His journey in the veterinary field began after graduation when he joined the Bangladesh military, gaining practical knowledge in animal care.

Ferdous’s love for animals traces back to his roots—a childhood spent in a family with a small farm in a rural Bangladeshi village. His initial experiences working on a dairy farm and training dogs solidified his passion for animal welfare. What he cherishes most about his work is the connection he forges with each animal under his care, a sentiment rooted in his upbringing surrounded by nature and animals.

Beyond the clinic, Ferdous finds joy in his family life with two daughters and a beloved wife. His hobbies encompass the wonders of travel and the tranquility of gardening.

Squirrel M.

Supervisor, Security

Squirrel came to Murdoch Vet clinic in May 2010 with a broken leg. She can be found sleeping on the treatment desk, treatment table, various chairs…. basically any horizontal surface! But don’t let her apparent sleepy personality fool you she stalks the staff in the hall, grabbing a leg as they walk by. She has a favorite ‘baby’ toy which she yowls and screams at… but only if she thinks no one is looking. One of her favorite past times is to use Dr. Murdochs office plant as a litter box!
