Dr. Al is originally from Prince Edward Island, where he grew up on a family farm with an active horse showing focus. He was debating making a career in the hunter jumper world, when he got accepted to the Atlantic Veterinary College, which he graduated from in 1995. After graduation, he accepted a one year surgery internship in Lexington at the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, following which he then returned to Canada to work at a private equine practice in Caledon East, Ontario, mostly serving broodmare clients. After two years, he started MacLeod Equine Veterinary Services as a general equine practitioner. Allan’s professional interests would be all things in a general equine practice, but especially in developing a relationship with his clients to try and help them succeed in their equestrian goals.

Allan and his wife, Jennifer, have been married since 1997, and have four grown children. Their small farm is in north Caledon. His biggest pastime is anything outdoors, cycling, skiing, walking the dog, cheering on his family.
