Providing an outstandinglevel of health care forour animal patients.

Dr. Audrey Simonian

My name is Audrey Simonian. I grew up in France before moving to Dublin, Ireland, where I obtained my DVM from University College Dublin in 2024.

I am a mixed small animals and zoo, exotics, and wildlife intern for 2024-2025. My main professional interest lies in wildlife conservation and zoo medicine, as I am passionate about improving the health and welfare of both captive and wild species. Here at the VTH, I strive to provide the best care possible to both cats and dogs, and less usual pets like small furry mammals, birds, and reptiles, because I believe they all deserve an excellent standard of care.

I have a devilish miniature American Shepherd back home, whom I miss immensely. Outside my work at the hospital, I enjoy picking up random skills—new city, new habits! Right now, I’m training in lyrical singing, learning Italian, and discovering all that Prince Edward Island has to offer.
