We have a wonderful, tight-knit team of dedicated professionals whose primary goal is to treat our patients as our own and provide them with excellent care. Our key values are honesty, integrity, respect, and quality. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us.
Dr. Mann chose this profession because he has always had a soft spot for animals, and wanted to be able to do as much as possible to help and care for them. In his words, “animals give us so much, we are obliged to return to them, at least a part of it”. His compassion and care for animals have earned him his reputation and trust in the community. He has been practicing Veterinary Medicine since graduating with a BVSc & A.H. degree in 1987 from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India. He began his career as a mixed large & small animal veterinarian before realizing he had a particular interest in small animal internal medicine. He went on to pursue his Master’s degree specializing in veterinary medicine.
Dr. Mann moved to Canada with his family in 2000 and quickly completed the rigorous veterinary examination process to obtain his license to practice veterinary medicine in Canada and the United States. He passed his Clinical Proficiency Examination at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon and was awarded his Certificate of Qualification by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. Owing to his interest in physiotherapy, Dr. Mann went on to complete his certification “CCRP – Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner” and is now seeing patients for rehabilitation therapy as well.
Dr. Mann established Menzies Pet Hospital in 2004 and has been serving the community of Chilliwack since then. His mission is to prioritize the well-being of his patients and show compassion for his clients. On his own time, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He loves to travel whenever he can and enjoys playing volleyball and hiking. He loves spending time with his two dogs, Hazel and Sophie, who are also from India.
Hello, my name is Dr. Abhishek Arora. I joined the Menzies Pet Hospital team in April 2023. Driven by my deep connection with animals, I completed my Bachelor of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry in 2017 at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University in India. I have also worked alongside several rescue groups in India to provide healthcare to stray animals in need. It brings me so much joy when I successfully treat patients who are unable to speak for themselves.

I completed the Veterinary Administrative Assistant program in 2016 and have worked at Menzies Pet Hospital ever since then. When I’m not at work, I like to be outdoors or cozy at home in my pajamas, relaxing with my boyfriend and my two cats, or spending time with my parents and all of their many pets.

In the future, I would like to further my education and specialize in Veterinary Dentistry. In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks along the river with my dog, Zoey.

Hello, I am Teresa! I was born and raised in Chilliwack BC and I have always had many pets from horses to hamsters. I have always had a weakness of adopting animals, especially the ones that were waiting too long for a family, such as my chihuahuas. What I love most about my job is being able to help animals and seeing them go home happy and healthy. I love when I get to see the smiles on pet parents’ faces when they get their pet back. It is the best feeling in the world. My favorite thing about Menzies is the great staff and the amazing patients we get to take care of and help heal.
Hello, I am Sandra! Growing up, I always felt that I would love working in a veterinary office, and it turned out to be so true! Being a part of the team here gives me the opportunity to learn while working with others who share my passion for pets and the care they require. Dedication to pets is key, considering my family currently includes two Green Cheek Conures – birds with a life expectations of up to 30+ years.
