Dr. Nina Atanackovic

I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian since I was three years old, and in July 2025, that dream finally became a reality. Born and raised in Etobicoke, I discovered my passion for veterinary medicine while volunteering at a local clinic through a high school co-op placement at age 15.

After completing my undergraduate degree in Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Guelph, I followed my passion for animals and I moved to Scotland to earn my veterinary degree from the University of Edinburgh.

Throughout my training, I gained experience working with small animals, farm animals, horses, and exotics. One of my most memorable experiences was volunteering on a farm in Wales during lambing season. During veterinary school, I developed a special interest in cardiology, while also enjoying the variety and client relationships that come with general practice.

Golden Retrievers will always hold a special place in my heart thanks to my childhood dog, Bonnie. At home, I have a four-year-old Australian Shepherd named Daisy, who is the love of my life. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy traveling, hot yoga, spending time with family and friends, and getting lost in a good paint-by-numbers project.
