Founder

Dr. Susan, originally from Cambridge, Ontario, grew up with a significant love for animals. She graduated from Mount Allison University in 2004 and Ontario Veterinary College in 2008. She then practiced for over 6 years at Western Animal Clinic in London, Ontario, while concurrently working part-time as a shelter veterinarian for several of those years.

In 2012, Dr. Dailley received certification as a Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapist from the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Center. She also holds certificates in Reiki and Animal Communication and has a strong appreciation for integrative medicine.

In 2015 Dr. Susan founded Dailley Mobile Veterinary Services in Guelph. It was the first end-of-life mobile of its kind in the area and one of the first in Canada. In 2023, after the birth of her third child, Dr. Susan was inpsired to build a team of veterinarians to provide end-of-life care throughout Guelph, the tricities, and beyond. Recently, Dailley Mobile Veterinary Services was renamed Peaceful Passing.

Dr. Susan’s pets include a cuddly 14 year-old medium haired brown tabby cat named Mavis.

When not working with animals, Dr. Susan can be found spending time with her partner and three small children.

Veterinarian Guelph, Tri-cities

Dr. Shanna grew up in New Brunswick and now calls Ontario her home. She has always had a love for animals, following her grandfather and father around the farm at every possible moment and bringing home pets any chance she got. After graduating from Atlantic Veterinary College (PEI) in 2001, Dr. Shanna has travelled and lived in several areas across Canada. Dr. Shanna has gained invaluable experience while providing care in a variety of veterinary practices to creatures big and small.

Dr. Shanna has a passion for making pets and their people feel comfortable. Having lost many pets over the years, and after experiencing in-home euthanasia for her own pets, she knew that this was something she wanted to provide to others. Dr. Shanna cannot express how honoured she is to be involved in your pet’s final goodbye.

Currently, Dr. Shanna shares her life with her husband, 2 teenage boys, 2 dogs, Max & Ruby and 2 Sphynx cats, Bourbon & Scarlett. The Clinch family recently had to say goodbye to their 4 year old Sphynx Nellie, who had congestive heart failure. It is never easy losing a pet, but so much harder when they are so young.

In her downtime, Dr. Shanna can be found spending time with friends and family, reading, travelling or walking Max & Ruby.

Dr. Nikki has lived in and around Guelph her entire life. After graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2016 she settled in her small hometown of Drayton to raise a family with her husband.

Dr Nikki has practiced small animal medicine for most of her career and has a passion for improving quality-of-life for senior pets. Through this, she has realized the importance of helping pets pass in the most peaceful way possible. There is nothing she enjoys more than hearing the stories of a pet’s life, and witnessing the joy they brought to their people.

At home, Dr. Nikki had two young sons that keep her on her toes, as well as a Boston Terrier and two cats. She enjoys quiet time at home (when she can get it!), reading, traveling and going on adventures with her family.

Dr. Meredith graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2007 and started clinical practice with companion animals in Caledon. In 2017 she joined the team at Guelph Animal Hospital where she continues to practice part-time and offers exceptional care to her patients.

Like many kids, Dr. Meredith always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. It just made sense to make a career out of repaying animals for all the ways they brighten our days. Dr. Meredith’s goal has always been to help sick pets feel better and keep healthy pets happy so they can have as much quality time with their families as possible.

Part of sharing our lives with animals includes saying goodbye, when their quality of life has declined. Dr. Meredith feels fortunate, as a veterinarian, to be able to provide a peaceful and pain-free passing for pets, and is honoured to be able to build a bond with families while providing in-home end of life care with Peaceful Passing.
