Wojciech Wybranowski obtained his BSc in chemistry from Loyola College in Montreal in 1972. After a year of traveling over Europe and North Africa, he spent a year at Sir George Williams University in biology and then left for his veterinary studies in Poland. He graduated from the University of Warsaw, Poland in 1979 where he obtained his Veterinary degree. Dr. Wybranowski then spent an additional year doing a small animal internship at the Facility of Veterinary Medecine in Warsaw, Poland. He returned to Canada and after passing his licensing exam, began working as a small animal practitioner.

In 1987, he opened a small office from his home. During its growth, he kept busy working at other clinics. After eight years the practice evolved and outgrew the home office, therefore it was moved to the present location.
