About Us
Grey Goose Team
Tanya Vickers
RVTTanya accompanies Dr. Nutt and Dr.Bos to monitor the patient intra-operatively under anesthesia.
After graduating in 1995 and obtaining her RVT the same year, she worked in regular practice until 2006, when she joined the surgery team at Mississauga Oakville. There she received advanced anesthesia training under board certified anesthesiologists.
Under their supervision she learned to perform epidurals and intraarticular blocks.
Since 2006, she has worked exclusively with board certified specialists, with a career focus of surgery and anaesthesia.
When not in the OR, Tanya enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband and children, watching movie versions of popular books, and breeding Nigerian dwarf goats.
Laura Nutt
SurgeonDr. Laura Nutt is an Ontario native who graduated from the University of Guelph in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science, and from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2012. She completed a rotating internship at the Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Toronto followed by a surgical internship at the Animal Specialty and Emergency Center in sunny Los Angeles. She then moved to Saskatoon to complete a small animal surgical residency at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, passing her ACVS board exam in 2018. After staying on at the WCVM as a clinical associate of surgery for one year, she returned to Ontario. She has been working as a surgeon at VCA Mississauga Oakville Veterinary Emergency Hospital and VCA Guelph Veterinary Surgical Services since 2018.
Dr. Nutt is excited to work closely with general practitioners in their own clinics to provide surgical services and support to local pet owners. On her days off from wearing scrubs, she enjoys cottaging with her family and many pets, trivia, and learning new skills: next up is snowboarding.

Dr. Alexandra (Ali) Bos has been a small animal surgeon for 15 years. She graduated with a veterinary degree from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland in 2002. She then returned to North America where she completed a rotating internship at OVC followed by a surgical internship at a referral hospital in Orlando, FL. Dr. Bos completed her residency in small animal surgery at OVC and achieved board certification by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2008. She joined MOVEH that year and has been there ever since! Dr. Bos is excited to partner with Dr. Laura Nutt and further expand her career into mobile surgery. She cannot wait to work with the referring community and pet owners in their home practices. She loves orthopedic and soft tissue surgery and is also open to offering continuing education when it is requested. When not at work, Dr. Bos loves spending time with her family, traveling, and being active. She is trying to keep up her teenage kids that are blowing by her in skill level and height - a truly losing battle!
