Dr. Carine Bourrellis

A 1995 graduate, Dr. Bourrellis has been the proud owner of Clinique Vétérinaire LaSalle since 1998. The creation of the new clinic represents a dream come true for Carine, combining her two great passions: veterinary medicine and design. Professionally, Carine has a keen interest in surgery, complex medical cases, and diabetes management, and she is continuously pursuing additional training in veterinary dentistry. She also enjoys the more routine aspects of practice, which allow her to chat with clients and take her time whenever the situation allows!

​

Community involvement is one of Carine’s core values. She has volunteered as a veterinarian for the Défi Taïga, a 200 km sled dog race held in Fermont, where she served as a participating veterinarian in 2015 and 2016, then as head veterinarian in 2017 and 2018. Carine is also actively involved with Chiots Nordiques, an organization that supports Indigenous communities by providing sterilization and veterinary care for their dogs, as well as with the Refuge Animex, a cat rescue based mainly in Montreal’s South-West. The clinic also cares for most of the cats put up for adoption through Refuge Animex, helping them find their forever homes.

​

Outside of work, Carine loves to explore, travel, and spend time outdoors. A true Montreal enthusiast, she enjoys both winter sports and nature as much as the buzz of big cities and the remote corners of the world. Art galleries and artists’ studios are her favorite places to find inspiration and recharge. Carine shares her life with Casimir and Tony, two cats full of personality, as well as Babette, an elegant Portuguese Water Dog with a princess attitude, and Zoé, her sweet long-haired dachshund with the softest eyes.
