Dr. Navjot Gosal
Dr. Gosal was born into a farming family in Punjab, India. He grew up taking care of his cows, buffalo, dogs, and fish. His desire to become a veterinarian took a leap forward when he realized there was no certified veterinarian in his neighbourhood to properly treat his sick and dying dog.
He graduated with Doctrate in Veterinary Medicine in 2003. To pursue his studies further, he completed a Master’s in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology in 2005. He also represented his university on several occasions in Greco Roman-style wrestling. Before moving to Edmonton in the winter of 2008, he worked as a mixed animal veterinarian for 3 years.
