Dr. Amanda Hotke

Founder & Veterinarian
Dr. Amanda Hotke is the heart and soul of Granville Vet Clinic. With her extensive experience and unwavering dedication to animals, she established the clinic with the goal of providing top-notch veterinary care in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Since she was a young girl, Amanda dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She completed the required undergraduate program at the University of Alberta before travelling to Perth, Australia where she obtained her Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. Despite the sunny weather and beautiful beaches in Australia, Amanda decided to come back home to Edmonton and began working as a veterinarian in December of 2008. Between 2008 and 2015 Amanda gained valuable experience working in various small animal veterinary clinics in both Edmonton and St. Albert. In 2015, Amanda opened the Granville Veterinary Clinic. Amanda currently has two dogs, Zorro & Timber, and a mischievous cat named Wabby, who all keep her busy in her spare time. As well, Amanda plays ringette in the winter and keeps busy gardening in the summer.

Dr. Ariel

Veterinarian

Dr. Ariel took the plunge into swine medicine for two action-packed years after his graduation from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Visayas State University in the Philippines in 2016. His journey soon led him to an exciting internship in the U.S., where he expanded his expertise. By 2020, he found a new home in Canada, working as a swine technician before deciding it was time to follow his true passion: small animals.

Dr. Ariel’s love for veterinary care blossomed during his time at a small animal clinic in Calgary, where he honed his skills. He has a special interest in feline medicine. His next mission? To dive deeper into surgery and dentistry! Now, fully licensed and settled in Granville, he’s ready to bring his passion for pets to the community.

When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Dr. Ariel out on an adventure! Whether he's hiking, road-tripping, trying out new restaurants, or exploring Alberta's stunning landscapes, he’s always up for a good time. With the world at his feet, Dr. Ariel can’t wait to see what new discoveries lie ahead!

Dr. Emily

Veterinarian

After graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022, Dr. Emily began her career practicing in the North before returning to Edmonton to be closer to friends and family. Her love for animals started at a very young age—first with three budgies she grew up with, and later with her first cat, whom she met and treated while working at her previous clinic.

She adores all things furry, fuzzy, feathery, scaly, and shelled, and has been passionate about working with exotic species since her days in vet school. With a strong interest in wellness and preventative care across all species, she enjoys empowering pet owners with the knowledge they need to support and prolong their companions’ health—whether through nutrition guidance or enrichment strategies to encourage healthy behaviours.

Outside the clinic, she loves collecting blind boxes, building 3D wooden puzzles, and exploring new foods whenever she can.
