Dr. Piya joined the team in early 2024, graduating the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Adelaide. She also has a Bachelors of Education and taught for three years on the remote Tiwi Islands.
Her passion for companion animal health, ornamental fish and public health has given her opportunities to work in all parts of the country and even conducted research on wildlife in Botswana.
On days off Dr. Piya enjoys spending time with her dogs, Basil the catahoula and Luna the kelpie, working in the garden or renovating the home.

🔥🥵Would you know the signs of HEATSTROKE???
As temperatures climb☀️, there are a few important things to remember when taking care of our pets this summer! 🐱🐶

Here’s our TOP TIPS to keep your pets cool as a cucumber 😎 while the weather outside is SPICY🔥🌶:
💧🫗STAY HYDRATED -Keep your fur-babies water bowls filled with cold fresh water. You can even add in some ice-cubes! 🧊🧊
🐾HOT PUP PAWS - Pets have sensitive paw pads that can burn easily, if you can’t keep your palm ✋ on the ground for more than 10 seconds, IT’S TOO HOT TO WALK! Consider walking in the early mornings or just before bed & avoid the hot pavement.
🚗💥DO NOT LEAVE ME IN THE CAR - even with the windows cracked, it can take less than 10 mins for temps to soar sky high!! 🌡 Never leave your pet in the car.
😎🌊STAY COOL - Invest in small paddling or wading pools for pets to cool down in during the day

⁉️BUT HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PET IS SUFFERING IN THE HEAT?
Look for the signs:
⚠️Heavy panting & drooling
⚠️Racing heart
⚠️Vomiting & diarrhoea
⚠️Sluggish & lethargic behaviour
⚠️Bright Red tongue
‼️Contact the vet immediately if your pet is lethargic, relentlessly panting, drooling, vomiting or collapsing 🚨
