Karen Dickinson

Accounts Manager

Karen started off at the Grey Bruce Pet Hospital in 1999 as a bookkeeper and soon after became the Account Manager. Karen’s love of animals along with the support of the doctors and staff at the clinic lead her to obtain her AAHA Receptionist Certificate in 2003, and she still enjoys working there today.

When Karen isn’t at work, she enjoys caring for her incredibly active dog, Zeus, and trying to stop her Garfield-like cat, Ozzie, from eating all the dog’s food. Karen also enjoys much more relaxing activities such as music, reading, golf, and just hanging out with her family.
