Miss you already.....

Dr. Louise Andrado will be moving on from the Clinic, within the coming week. As many of you know, Louise has been an invaluable member of our team. Her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and persistence will be sorely missed.

We would like to thank Louise for her invaluable efforts these past 2 years and wish her the best of luck in her future endeavours.

Farewell Alice....

As you may already know, Alice, one of our lovely nurses has left our team to pursue a new career path in the human dental industry. Thankyou for all of your hard work. The patients will miss your compassion & extra TLC you gave them.

We wish Alice, all the very best in her new career.

Wine and Cheese Open Night

Last month we held our Wine & Cheese Open Night at the clinic, where our clients sipped on wine & enjoyed a tour around the clinic. It was a chance to check behind the scenes, as to where your pet stays during its time in hospital, the sterile theatre, x-ray room and our hydro-bath & grooming area.

Team spotlight - Sarah the groomer

Sarah has been part of our grooming team for over two years now and runs a very busy service at our clinic. Sarah has been grooming pets since she was 13 years of age. It all started with her family owned giant schnauzers, Sarah used to practise grooming on her own pets, until she was able to get more experience elsewhere.

Sarah specialises in scissor-work for specific breeds, such as Poodle's Schnauzers and Bichon Frise. Sarah can groom your pet to suit your specific needs. She recommends regular grooming at 4-8 weekly intervals, to maintain your pet's condition. Sarah works at our clinic on Tuesdays - to make an appointment please call our reception team.
