She has experience with anxious/reactive pets and is happy to make accommodations however she can to best support you and the experience for your pets while visiting us.

Ellie

Ellie is a Border Collie Cross owned by Dr Kylie. She is very food orientated, and is the reason the food bin is locked down! She is very smart and loves her clicker training. She enjoys showing off her tricks at Kindy talks with Kylie, and really, to anyone that is holding food.

Jimmy

Jimmy is a Cattle Dog owned by Dr Kylie. He loves attention of any sort, and will happily sit with/on you and hold hands for hours!

Tipsy

Tipsy is a 3-legged amputee owned by Dr Kylie. She was rescued as a kitten. Tipsy loves to put herself all on display and pancake upside down! She may be quiet, but she is always close by Kylie and the kids! She loves running around with her soulmate, Turvy.

Turvy

Master Turvy is owned by Dr Kylie, and proudly takes the position of problem child in the fur-family! Kylie fostered Turvy for a long weekend, and he never left! He craves attention so much he loses his voice crying/looking for Kylie! Turvy has had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia repaired by Dr Erica, and pulled through like a trooper! He shares his day sleeping on all the kids beds, but loves to sleep on Kylie’s chest the most. His loud purr keeps her awake. He loves to keep Tipsy on her toes but wouldn’t be without his playmate.

Hamish

Hamish is a Domestic Short Hair that Dr Erica adopted as a 10-week-old kitten from an abandoned litter — she hadn’t even had her first shift when she decided to take him! He is very vocal and loves to chat and snuggle. Hamish is too clever for his own good — he has learned to open doors if they have handles! He is the resident hunter/sock thief, but sometimes mixes it up with small toys too.

Hamish is the cheeky older brother to Rory — he kicks him off the best beds and steals his food, but does love him. Dr Erica frequently finds them snuggling together, playing together and grooming each other.

Rory

Dr Erica adopted Rory when he was 8 week olds, from another abandoned litter! He isn’t much of a cuddler unless it’s cold, but loves to slink around your legs and enjoys pats. He smooches very aggressively when it’s dinner time!

Rory takes his yoga very seriously — he stretches multiple times a day, he’s the stretchiest cat Dr Erica has ever seen! Sometimes he will put his front feet on your slippers, or the egg-carton-toy on the floor, then stretch forwards, and he will go sliding down the hallway! (Known as the Stretchy-Slides in our house)

Rory also enjoys a good chat, especially if you’re unloading the dishwasher! The sound of the dishes and cutlery being put away makes for a very intense discussion! (Known as Dishwasher Chats)

Rory is usually the instigator of play time, but he tries to be sneaky about it, he will sit innocently next to Hamish and then will bite Hamish’s foot! Then there is a lot of chasing and wrestling; they both love it!

Missy

Missy is owned by Nurse Tiffany, and is a Domestic Short Hair. She was a stray kitten brought into the clinic that Tiffany took home for a long weekend, and she never left. Her favourite hobby ..  sleeping!

Mikey

Mikey is a 10 year old Papillon Cross. He has a “little” eye. He can see and is completely happy in life. Although Mikey is small, he makes his presence known!

Patch

Patch is a pure-bred Border Collie owned by Nurse Shakirra. He loves to play fetch and will take any opportunity to herd anything in site (usually other dogs in the dog park). He also enjoys apples and carrots as a treat each morning!

Storm

Storm is an 8 year old Shepherd Cross. Nurse Melanie adopted Storm into our family in August 2021. She loves going for a walk, going to the park and absolutely loves sleeping on the couch.

Birdie

Birdie is a Domestic Short Hair that Dr Nikita adopted from the RSPCA in her first year of vet school. She’s very chatty and loves sleeping on bean bags.

One of her funniest quirks is that she loves company while eating, and will find someone and lead them to the food bowl so they can watch her while she eats!

Sprinkles

Sprinkles the Tabby is owned by Rebecca. She was born at a vet clinic but was surrendered, so home with Rebecca she went!

Sprocket and Rosa

Sprocket the Fox Terrier is owned by Rebecca. She was another surrender from a previous vet clinic, and was adopted by Rebecca as a puppy.

Rosa, also owned by Rebecca, is a scruffy three-legged Poodle who was (yep you guessed it) another surrender so home with Rebecca she went!

Rosie

Rosie is a cheeky, energetic girl owned by Shannon, who picks a new favourite toy every few weeks and neglects the other hundred or so lying around the house in the meantime.

She’s very clever and knows many tricks, some of which she taught herself, like how to use her puppy dog eyes to manipulate her humans into giving her treats!

She loves going on long sniffy walks to different parks, ovals, & nature walks, using her 50m long lead so she can take her leisurely time sniffing every blade of grass to her hearts content.

Rocky

Rocky is a pure-bred Pug, owned by Nurse Kieren.

His loud and chaotic personality is always very clear when he visits the clinic – he has to make sure he gets cuddles from everyone! Rocky has just become a proud dad to 4 adorable pug-tatoes.

Brux

Brux is a Staffy x German Shepherd owned by Nurse Eva. Brux is very high energy and definitely an athlete, whether it be paddle-boarding, swimming, kayaking or hiking nothing is out of his capability.

Brux is super food motivated but loves his ball above all else, he will occupy himself for hours trying to flick it in his mouth (as long as someone is watching him). Brux doesn’t believe in personal space and is not afraid to demand pats!

Tippy

Tippy is a Torti DSH that found Nurse Eva. She showed up in a shipping container on her property very underweight and had a paralysis tick on her neck.

Tippy LOVES food and is often found eating her dog brother’s food (lucky he doesn’t mind). Tippy is pretty obsessed with her dog brother Brux and follows him around, attempting head bops which he always tries to avoid.

Tippy is a pretty independent girl but will make herself known when she wants cuddles and attention, although if you try and pick her up, she is out of there!!

Mimosa

Mimosa is a Labrador x Groodle owned by Dr Jess. Mimi (for short) loves to jump into the dam, ride the waves at the beach and absolutely loves a cuddle in the bed. If not playing with her toys, she can be found lying at your feet requesting scratches.
