Veterinarians
Olivia Schmidtz, DVM/Owner
DVM/Owner
Dr. Olivia founded Habitat Vet to connect more with her clients and patients in their natural environment: home. A homebody herself, she enjoys caring for her patients best when they are most comfortable. Her special interests include spinal adjustment/rehabilitation, dental health, and geriatric care. A Calgary native, she is honoured to reach all corners of Calgary and the surrounding area to provide veterinary services.
She spends most of her free time with her wonderful husband, kitties, and pup. Otherwise, you’ll find her travelling, crafting, cooking, and enjoying concerts with friends.
Jen Girard, DVM/CCRT
DVM/CCRT
Dr. Jen has developed a passion for rehabilitation by practicing mixed animal medicine and noticing holes in the spectrum of care when it comes to managing injuries, chronic conditions, and pain. Her own journey with severe back pain led her down the path of seeing chiropractors and athletic therapists to help her live her best life again. It helped, so to be able to change the life of animals in the same way, she decided to become a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist, which she accomplished in early 2025. She has partnered with Habitat Vet to bring at-home rehabilitation care to your pets to get them back to moving and living their best lives too.
In her free time Dr Jen is usually with her husband, their Alaskan husky, and cats, or lifting heavy weights. She also enjoys getting out to the mountains, golfing, and pitching in fastpitch softball (but only when the weather is nice!).
Lindsey, RVT
