Dr. Kara Wilson

Veterinarian

Kara Wilson is originally from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and earned her bachelor's degree at Dalhousie University prior to completing her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Atlantic Veterinary College in 2017. She then completed an intensive internship in equine medicine and surgery at the Vermont Large Animal Clinic.
