The newest addition to the Linwood Veterinary Services team, Dr. Ruth Bowman, grew up on a beef farm just outside of New Dundee, Ontario. She has always loved working with animals and participated in her local 4-H association for many years. She completed her undergraduate degree in Animal Biology with a minor in Molecular Biology & Genetics at the University of Guelph, then attended the Ontario Veterinary College and graduated with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2024. Ruth lives in Waterloo with her husband and cat, and outside of work, she enjoys camping, rock climbing, and playing board games with friends.
