Perri, our office manager, has been a Veterinary Nurse since 2007 and is the only qualified stem cell technician in this part of the state.

She is the hub around which the vets, patients, clients and other staff at the clinic revolve around. She is our chief organiser and somehow remembers every person, dog, cat and rat that comes in through the doors. 

Perri has 3 wonderful dogs at home – her staffy Freddie who was brought into the clinic as a stray at 8 weeks old, Sassy who has recently had a DNA test done and is officially a Wolfhound X Great Dane X Boxer, and Baby staffy Willow who was the flower girl at Perri’s wedding.

Kylie is married to Wes and they have settled on the outskirts of Orange with the patter of little feet heard throughout the house. These include her fifty or so greyhounds, rescue Wolfhound Mango and her children Chelsea, Riley and Noah. 

She is our head vet nurse and also looks after Tafe vet nursing and school students.
