Speaker: Dr Margaret Doyle

With a veterinary degree from the University College Dublin and a Masters from the University of Florida specializing in Veterinary Forensics Dr. Doyle established Canada’s first veterinary forensic consulting firm in 2010. Having since been involved in large scale hoarding seizures, dog fighting investigations, and working with the medical examiners office on files involving human and animal victims. She provides services from crime scene analysis and photography to live exams and necropsies. Her work has helped create case law and establish institutions that continue to evolve and elevate animal welfare in Canada.

Dr. Doyle brings a veterinary voice to the Canadian Violence Link Coalition which aims to educate the public and inform legislation around one health initiatives directed to target family and community violence. She was recognized with a community policing award in 2017 for her work training front line officers, social workers, prosecutors, and veterinarians on the overlap between animal abuse and other forms of violence.

In 2018 Dr. Doyle was the first person in Canada to be qualified in federal court to provide expert witness testimony in the field of veterinary forensics. She routinely attends court for both prosecution and defense to assist in their understanding of the veterinary aspects of animal involved cases. She was honored in 2022 to be inducted into the UCD Veterinary College Alumni Hall of Fame for her career achievements thus far.
