DR. DEVANSHI SHAH, DVM - VETERINARIAN
Dr. Devanshi Shah graduated with her Veterinary Degree abroad during COVID in 2020. Once returning to Canada, she began seeking a Volunteer Veterinary Shadow position to prepare for the North American Veterinary License Exam (NAVLE). Shortly after beginning her volunteer position, she was asked to work full time as a Veterinary Technician with the Acton Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Devanshi is an outstanding member of our team, and it has been a joy watching her grow her Veterinary skills. She has since passed her NAVLE and is now a veterinarian completing her internship with us.
Dr. Dev has dreamed of becoming a veterinarian since she was in elementary school. She has a great love of animals, and is wonderful with clients, she is also fluent in multiple languages! She is instrumental in the treatment and care of our emergency cases and is also developing a strong surgical skill set with the help of her very experienced mentor Dr. Hess.
Outside of the clinic she is a full-time dog mom for her Husky Stark. She enjoys travelling, being outside in the summer and spending time with her family and friends.

DR. NANCY POREMBA, DVM - VETERINARIAN
Dr. Nancy Poremba joined the AVC team in the summer 2024. An Ontario Veterinary College 2021 graduate, Dr. Nancy still resides in Guelph and her particular passion for cats led her to working in feline-exclusive practice and extra training as a certified Cat Friendly Veterinarian®.
Returning to a mix of dog and cat medicine, she has a variety of interests including pediatrics, palliative care, surgery, and kitten rescue. Most importantly, she genuinely wants to befriend each and every one of her patients and ensure their comfort when visiting the vet! Dr. Nancy loves getting to know her clients and collaborating to create individualized treatment plans for their pet's needs. An avid learner, Dr. Nancy is constantly seeking new knowledge on the latest in veterinary medicine and eagerly sharing with colleagues, clients, and especially current and prospective veterinary students.
When she's not snuggling at home with her favourite retired clinic kitty (and if you can somehow get her to stop talking about cats) Dr. Nancy will happily go on about her many geeky interests, namely, curating her growing comics collection, playing D&D, or eventually getting to that pile of unfinished video games.
