Dre Maude-Amélie Bissonnette

DVM · Veterinarian & Co-Founder

General Internship: DMVET-Montréal Center

I graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine in 2015 and began my career in an emergency veterinary hospital, where I quickly discovered a passion for critical care, working under pressure, and tackling complex medical challenges. This experience allowed me to develop strong adaptability, a keen sense of priorities, and a calm, efficient approach to sometimes challenging situations.

Over the years, I have developed a practice that places equal emphasis on medical excellence, attentive listening, and building trusting relationships with clients. I place great importance on teamwork, communication, and staying current with advances in veterinary medicine to provide the best possible care for my patients.

Today, I continue to practice veterinary medicine with passion, striving to combine professionalism, efficiency, and a compassionate approach in my day-to-day work. I particularly enjoy creating an environment where clients feel heard, supported, and guided through the different stages of their pet’s life.

In my free time, I enjoy doing Pilates, discovering new restaurants, traveling, and spending quality time with my family and loved ones.

Let’s take it one step at a time.
If I could give just one piece of advice for keeping a pet healthy, it would be to focus on prevention. This includes maintaining good dental hygiene, along with regular checkups, a proper diet, physical activity, and regular tooth brushing. These simple measures can make a huge difference in our pets’ long-term health and quality of life.
I would like pet owners to better understand dental disease. Many pets continue to eat and behave relatively normally despite significant oral pain, which can give the impression that everything is fine. However, dental disease can have a major impact on their comfort, quality of life, and even their overall health. Prevention and regular dental care can truly make a significant difference.
My favorite medical term to say is probably “idiopathic.” It’s a word we use more often than we’d like in veterinary medicine… and it essentially means, “we don’t know exactly why”!
If I hadn’t become a veterinarian, I would probably be an entrepreneur in the restaurant or event industry. I enjoy dynamic environments, creating experiences that bring people together, and managing multiple projects at once.
My favorite moment in the clinic is when I can send a sick patient home after seeing them regain their energy and start feeling better.
The topic I would like to make less intimidating for pet owners is aging in pets. Getting older does not automatically mean suffering, and there are now many more options available to help pets stay comfortable and active as they age.
Ingrown nails.
