Dr. Marc Philippot, DVM, is the owner of Rolling Plains Veterinary Corporation and has been a practicing veterinarian since graduating from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 2001. Born and raised in St. Claude, Manitoba, he worked for three years in Oakbluff, Manitoba, before returning home to take over the St. Claude clinic on May 1, 2004, becoming its sixth proprietor. The clinic had operated as a provincial veterinary services district clinic since 1975.
In the two decades since, Dr. Philippot has grown the practice in size, services, and patients, including the 2013 acquisitions of Carman Veterinary Clinic and South Central Veterinary Clinic. Today he leads a team of veterinarians and staff across three clinic locations, providing medicine and surgery for household pets as well as cattle, horses, goats, and other livestock.
Dr. Philippot has also served the profession at the provincial level. He was a board member of the Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) from 2010 to 2014 and served as MVMA President in 2012, working with colleagues from across Canada. He personally reviews the veterinary information published on rpvc.ca for accuracy, so what you read here reflects the care his team provides in the clinic and on the farm. Outside work, he enjoys reading, traveling, camping, fishing, and quadding with his family and their two dogs.
