OUR TEAMBorn and raised in Ontario, Dr. Wenn completed her undergraduate at the University of Guelph before earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) in 2020. She moved to Victoria shortly after graduation, navigating the unique challenges of starting her veterinary career during the height of the pandemic. After five rewarding years practicing at a local clinic, she joined the Oaklands team in June 2025, where she’s thrilled to be reunited with her OVC classmate Dr. Nate Bachynski.
Dr. Nicola enjoys all aspects of small animal general practice, but has a special interest in feline medicine, internal medicine, and ultrasonography. She also finds fulfillment in surgery and values the relationships built with clients and their pets over time.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wenn shares her home (and her Sprinter camper van) with her husband Peter—a former professional mountain bike athlete and Tokyo 2021 Olympian—and their two cats, Yoshi and Billy. An adventurer at heart, Dr. Wenn has always been drawn to the outdoors—hiking, cycling, van camping (yes, with her cats), and traveling whenever she can.
One of her most formative experiences was a two-month volunteer trip to South Africa and Namibia as part of Global Vets. There, she worked in underserved townships, interned at the world-renowned Cheetah Conservation Fund, and participated in a rhino dehorning operation—a conservation effort to combat illegal poaching. That experience cemented her love for wildlife and strengthened her commitment to animal care.
Fittingly, her vet school class at OVC was known as the Ruby Rhinos, and a small red rhino mascot (named Ruby) now sits on her desk as both a good luck charm and a powerful reminder of her journey—both academic and global.
