🌸Newest addition to the ACV family 🐣Miss Aki is 2 weeks old today (already!). Mum and dad are both at home enjoying the newborn bubble.

She’s adorable to the max, but Myrtle 🐶 is so far keeping her distance 😆 wondering what the fuss is all about.

🐾Dr Karen and Raf will be back at work first week of June, and if you’re lucky you might even meet little Aki 🥰

🌷Hi, everyone, many of you have already met me 🤠
My name is Jenna, I’m a 2018 Murdoch University graduate. I’ve been working as a small animal veterinarian for over 5 years.

🌻Last year, my husband and I moved from Perth to the Gold Coast to be closer to family and to start our next adventure.

👑I love being a Vet, as I love the challenge that every day brings, and waking up knowing not one day will be the same.

🪷I love being your pets’ doctor as they truly are part of the family. Whether it be their very first puppy vaccination or discussing the challenges of a being a senior, I treat your pet like they are my own and pride myself in providing the best care and genuine relationships with owners.

🍣Outside of being a Vet, I love to spend time with my family and travel.

🌼I can’t wait to meet you all and your lovely 4-legged friends City Vets

My days are Tuesday Wednesday Friday,and some Saturdays during the period Dr Karen is on Maternity Leave 💐

Happy birthday to us 🦋🐣- Ashmore City Vets is officially no longer a toddler 😀 - we celebrated turning 3 years old this week!

Thank you to our lovely clients for your support while we grew into our own shoes. We are excited to continue serving you and your best friends by providing personalised high quality pet care to the local community.

In the coming months we will be doing some clinic extension / construction work - which will include adding one more consult room, a dedicated cat hospital area and a staff room. Exciting times ahead 💖

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated a Vet Nurse Day. Despite our busy schedule we ended up having sushi and cake together. This was a perfect time for us (owners and Vets) to say BIG THANK YOU to our support staff (reception and nurses).

We fully understand that without those guys we just would not be able to serve our clients and provide best possible care for our fur babies.
Their unwavering dedication, resilience, eagerness to help is unparalleled and fully deserve our praise and gratitude.

Introducing our new Part Time Vet - Dr. Camille BSc DVM, photoed here with one of her children, Stella.

"After graduating from Melbourne University, I spent 3 years practicing in Melbourne’s largest animal shelter & community vet clinic. I then undertook an internship in Emergency & ICU medicine and worked shift work in a busy referral hospital.

In 2022, my partner & I took 6 months off work and travelled Australia in our 4 wheel drive. Upon returning, we desperately missed the sun & the ocean - and so packed up our life in Melbourne & made the move up north with our 3 legged cat & senior chihuahua!"

You will find Camille at Ashmore City Vets on Wednesday and Thursdays. We think she's a gem and you will too.

George - Staff In Focus for March 👈

Hannah
I went home after my first shift with George with a huge smile on my face. Not only does he have a great sense of humor, he's done so much with his life already that he's full of awesome stories and possesses a wide range of skills. But I think we can all agree (staff and clients alike) that the best thing about George is his enthusiasm and genuine care for people and pets. It's never a dull moment with George around, meetings will never go smoothly again, but I don't think we would trade him in for the world.

Ash
George is our super star trainee nurse, customer service king, comedian, IT 'fix it' guy, and crazy kitten dad. He is compassionate and caring for every patient, big or small (but especially those cute kittens). George is always willing to go out of his way day in and day out to help others. Nothing is ever too much to ask. When he's not busy nursing patients, he is keeping the staff and clients in fits of laughter with his 'Dad jokes'. It is always a pleasure working alongside the amazing George!

Sharni
George is always such a pleasure to work with, he puts in all of his time and effort into making client, patients and staff feel comfortable and happy. George is always open to learning new things and loves learning, asking questions, and taking in ever answer like a sponge. George is such a strong presence in our clinic with just such a big personality and fun energy, he hypes everyone up (including himself). No one I know is as loving and caring of cats and their wellbeing. No cat is ever too much for George and he puts all his love into all his patients as well as his many foster cats. Very thankful to have such a wonderful gentle giant cat dad on our team. You’re going to be an incredible nurse.

Jaime
George is loved by everyone.... clients, patients and staff alike. He has the most caring nature for all our clients’ furbabies and goes absolutely above all else to keep patients and clients feeling welcome and at ease as soon as they walk through our door. He is a breath of a fresh air, a ray of sunshine and a rainbow on the gloomiest days. He always has my back and seems to be one step ahead of me trying to make my day less stressful. Love working with you George.... hurry up and finish studying.

Caz
What can I say about George!!!
Our soon to be qualified Vet Nurse.
From day one George just slotted into our ACV family beautifully. He’s funny charming and multitalented.
He’s a great receptionist and has the most charming phone manner.
He’s our IT fixit guy and our very own handyman. Can fix just about anything.
I always enjoy our shifts together. He is always wanting to go that extra mile and give a hand.
A real team player.
The best thing about George is watching him reach his goal in Vet Nursing. He will be a wonderful dedicated nurse with a true love for all animals. We are so lucky to have George as part of our team.

Hannah - Staff In Focus for November. We love and are lucky to have her.

Jaime
"Hannah is like the grounding force of the clinic. She is an amazing nurse who cares so much for each and every patient she comes into contact with while being real, authentic and loveable all at the same time. I love working with Hannah.... she keeps things on an even keel and makes everything work like clockwork. Such a big heart!!!!"

Sharni
"When Hannah first came into clinic I didn't work with her much at first. I was told about her past in emergency animal care and that she had been in the job for 7+ yrs. I was definitely excited to meet her and learn from her. Just like I had thought she was a force on her own with her skills in animal care but also just so down to earth and willing to teach. She is one kind-hearted, gentle soul and any animal she works with is treated with the best care. I really look up to her and will continue too forever I imagine."

Ashleigh
"Hannah is so amazing! She is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled nurses I've ever worked with. She has so much care and compassion for all our patients and will always be a voice for them. I have loved every day working with Hannah and feel blessed to have her in our team. I love her quirky personality and her kind and caring heart."

Carole
"Hannah is such an important part of our team. She came to us with so much knowledge. We have leant so much from Hannah as she continually passes on her specialist nursing skills. She continually organises training for us in emergency, surgical and critical care so we can provide the best care possible to our patients. Apart from all these valuable skills Hannah is a beautiful soul. She is calm and kind with a deep love for animals. I love her quirky sense of humour. She is loved by us all."

George
"Hannah is so upbeat, calm, and knowledgeable. She always tries to make herself available to answer any questions I have, and I have a lot! She's so fun and friendly. I really like working with her."

Thank you.

And the time has come to introduce Sharni :)... and what we really think of her.

Caz
Sharni is amazing. It’s refreshing to work with a young nurse who is so passionate and eager to learn everything. She’s even taught me a thing or two. Her beautiful caring nature and her awesome sense of humour makes it a pleasure to work with her.

Jaime
I love working with Sharni.... her positivity is infectious, and her always loving attitude to us all is beautiful. She has a huge heart, and she always has the animals’ welfare as her highest priority! She is amazing at what she does and always comes with a smile on her face and love in her heart.... love you Sharni

Hannah
Sharni has the best sense of humor, she is the team member most likely would have me in hysterics. Her devotion to patients outshines most nurses I know - I've never seen someone coo over bedraggled little fledglings like Sharni does, it melts your heart. Stay golden Sharni, you're a treasure to the industry and we are so glad we have you

Ash
I love everything about Sharni! She's so passionate about caring for every animal that comes through the doors. I love her crazy sense of humour, her positive energy she brings every single day, and how she has so much unconditional love for all her patients. Working with Sharni is such a blessing!!

Gee
Sharni is always so bright and bubbly and has all of us laughing! She is also an unreal nurse - Sharni treats all the animals with integrity as if they were her own.

Meet our beautiful vet nurse Caz.

Caz has a calming demeanor that is felt through the whole clinic not only by the staff but our clients and patients.

She loves your pets as much as you do while they are here in our care, and they appreciate the love and attention.

We absolutely love and appreciate Caz's contribution and effort everyday and having her on board as a valued team member of Ashmore City Vets.

"I love working with Caz, we always boost each other's spirits. Caz is always 3 steps ahead of the ball with cleaning and superb care of her patient's. She is a mighty force for the team and I can't wait for what she can do when she believes in herself the way that I believe in her. You're a legend Caz!"– Sharni

"Caz is unreal! She's so knowledgeable, caring and treats every patient likes it’s her own fur baby. She has brought so much positivity to the clinic and working with her is a pleasure. We are so blessed to have her!!" – Ash

"Caz is such a lovely person and super caring, we can always have a good chat!" – Lotti

"Caz is one of the most generous, kind and caring people I have had the pleasure to meet. I am honored to work with her and am so glad she's a part of our team. Every shift with Caz puts a smile on my face!" – Hannah

"She always makes me feel comfortable and part of the team and brings out the best of everyone!" - Sarah

🦋Ash is our clinics rainbow on a cloudy day!

🐞Ash goes above and beyond with clients and patients.
She absolutely loves every single animal that walks through our doors and is most often found sneaking cuddles with them, making them feel safe and loved.

Here are some beautiful things our team members have to say about Ash:

“Ash is a pleasure to work with, she is always willing to jump in and help anyone. Her happy smiley face brightens up the clinic and the reception” Ashleigh

“What isn’t there to love! If I had to pick one thing, I would say I love her infectious laughter and how upbeat she is. Also, I love how she raises my spirits throughout the day.” Sharni

“She always makes me feel comfortable and a part of the team and brings out the best in everyone” Sarah

“I love working with Ash because she is so calm and patient, always happy to answer my hundreds of questions. She’s one of the reasons I love coming to work” Carole

“From day one she made me feel so welcome and like I was already part of the team. After a few days with Ash, I felt like I’d been here for months, making my transition so much easier. She gets on with everyone, always has something nice or funny to say and the time to listen.” Hannah

“I love working with Ash because she is always supportive, nothing is ever too much trouble, and she always makes me laugh. She always makes the pets and clients feel so comfortable. “ Jaime
