Dr. Pegg studied Veterinary Medicine at the University of Guelph, then spent 5 years in rural farm and general practice before developing her passion to pursue dental specialty training.

During her residency at Colorado State University, her research was focused on improving surgical efficiency in the dental operating room. One of her proudest moments was being presented with the annual award for original research with the greatest impact at the Veterinary Dental Forum in 2019 for her research intended to improve surgical efficiency in the dental OR.

In 2021 she founded Transcend Veterinary Continuing Education. The goal is to help empower family veterinary teams to feel confident with dental surgery through post-graduate training. Transcend Vet CE offers hands-on training for general practitioners and technicians to elevate their own dentistry skills to help deliver better patient care in their own practice.

She spent 5 years as the Head of Dentistry and Oral Surgery at VCA Canada’s 404 Emergency and Referral Hospital before developing Ascentra Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery.

In 2025, Ascentra Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery will open its doors in Newmarket, ON. This is a standalone dedicated Dentistry and Oral Surgery Hospital and Training Centre to serve the needs of pet owners as well as deliver continuing education general practitioners and specialist in a dedicated, purpose-built space.
