Hello! My name is Dr. Tyson Wayment. I attended Brigham Young University where I obtained my undergraduate degree in Wildlife and Wildlands Conservation. I also served a church-service mission where I became fluent in Spanish, which has definitely been useful in my job. I then attended the Washington State University/Utah State University program where I received my DVM in 2021. Upon graduation I took a job here, at Canyon View Cares, and have been working here ever since.
I work as a mixed-animal veterinarian and love the variety of my job. My wife and I love being back in Utah and have enjoyed being back close to the mountains, as most of our hobbies involve being outside. We enjoy hiking, camping, hunting, fishing and anything that will take us outdoors. If you don’t find us up in the mountains we are likely helping out on my family farm growing crops and working cattle. We have one dog, 3 cats, a handful of cattle and 2 horses that we take anytime we go on our pack trips.
Our dog’s name is Quill, and he is basically my shadow at this point. He was meant to be my hunting buddy but has since developed a crazy fear of gunfire, which we are working through. But right now I am happy with taking him to work and having him by my side to assist in my silly adventures. As I said, I definitely love the variety of my job-seeing cows, goats, horses, dogs, cats and everything in between.
My wife always asks me what I want to be when I grow up; I keep telling her I haven’t decided and that’s why I continue to see and experience all I can! Maybe someday I’ll figure it out. Hopefully!
