Meet Our Team


  • Glen & Christy Griffin
    ,DVM
    Veterinarian/owner

    Glen was born and raised on a mixed farm at Rockglen, SK.  At the age of 15, he began working for a cow/calf producer and upon graduation from high school, he worked at several ranches and feedlots acquiring the knowledge and skills required to operate his own ranch. It did not appear that his path would provide the means to finance that dream, so after 3 years, he applied to university.

    Glen graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004.  That was the same year he and Christy married. Dr Doug Mann hired Glen and Christy that summer and they have been happily employed here ever since. In May of 2013, Dr Sarah Allin, Christy, and Glen purchased the business from Doug.

    Glen's passion has always centered on cattle. Feedlot and cow/calf were his main interest (and where his experience was) but since being at the South West Animal Health Centre, he has had considerable exposure to dairy medicine and has grown to enjoy it as well.

    His true happiness is at home. Christy and Glen have a young family that keeps them on their toes! Kye, Gib, and Chay constantly keep them guessing to try to stay a step ahead!

    Glen looks forward to serving you in the future and getting to know those he has yet to meet.

    Dr. Christy is part-owner and at this time she is not practicing veterinary medicine.  She is busy working at her other full time job; raising 3 children and running her ranch. 

  • Sarah Allin
    DVM
    Veterinarian/owner

    Dr. Sarah Allin is a part-owner of the South West Animal Health Centre and Associate Pet Hospital. She fulfills the role of manager of the Associate Pet Hospital. She works at both the Animal Health Centre and the Associate Pet Hospital as she enjoys working with both large and small animals, with particular interests in ophthalmology of all species and equine reproduction. She was raised on a mixed farm north west of Eatonia, SK. Her interest in becoming a veterinarian began growing up with her family's cow-calf operation, as well as involvement in the 4-H beef project. She joined the team here in May of 2005 after graduating from WCVM. She, her husband Devin, and three sons Austin, Cole and Wade, live on an ranch southwest of Swift Current.

  • Doug Mann

His interests are reproduction in cattle, embryo transfer, investigating herd problems, breed improvement, and ranching. He grew up on a farm near Melville, SK. He met his wife Wanda in vet college in Saskatoon and were married the year they graduated in 1984. They have a purebred Hereford and commercial Red Angus operation of around 200 cows north of Swift Current. Since selling the clinic in 2013, he has put most of his focus towards his cattle but still joins us once in a while.

  • Paige Johnson
    DVM

    Paige was raised in New York State and went to Veterinary School at Colorado State. She graduated in spring  of 2020 and even though it was also tough to get her over the border we are certainly glad she is here!  She is working as a mixed animal veterinarian and will be splitting her time between Associate Pet Hospital and SW Animal Health Centre.

    Cows, and coffee are her go to. She jokes that 'coffee is the glue that holds her day together'. She's always ready with a smile and a bit of conversation, which helps when she's our Saturday girl during the fall and spring. Veterinary Technician by day (or DVM Wrangler), 'Mom to Jake' in between it all. A Lakeland Graduate of the Animal Health Technology Program and a local farm kid from years ago, she's colourful and loud, bringing smiles all around.

We always appreciate everything she does for us here but she makes it better with that awesome smile on her face!
