Biography

Committed to her clients and helping local animals, she often drives hundreds of miles a day through snowy mountain passes in extreme temperatures. Most of her clients live off the grid, sometimes without power or running water. In addition to the clinic she runs out of her home in southwest Yukon, Dr. Oakley runs her own mixed practice throughout Northern Canada and Alaska, often with the help of her three daughters Sierra, Maya and Willow, who also appear regularly on her TV show. She also works as an on-call vet for the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and the American Bald Eagle Foundation. She runs specialized wildlife capture and conservation programs throughout Canada, and also in Scandinavia, Sri Lanka and Europe.
