Cara
Registered Veterinary Nurse (Cert IV Veterinary Nursing)
Cara graduated as a veterinary nurse in 2020. She also holds a Cert II in Animal Studies and Cert IV in Captive Animals at Perth Zoo, having a strong passion for wildlife in addition to domestic species.
Cara joined the DVH team in 2021, where she enjoys the majority of her role as surgical nurse. Cara is passionate about patient comfort and providing a minimal stress environment, and seeks to do all she can to minimise fear and anxiety and help her patients feel as safe and snug as possible - this includes offering as many cuddles as they need!
Her special interests include care of senior patients, particularly as she has an older dog she cares for at home. In her opinion, geriatric animals are the most charismatic patients she has the pleasure of caring for and they never fail to make her laugh.
Outside of work Cara enjoys nature-based activities, surfing, diving and horse riding. Above all, she treasures spending time with her beautiful 17 year old dog, Wags (pictured in her profile photo). Cara has had Wags since 2006 and was named in honour of 'Wags the dog' from her favourite childhood TV show, The Wiggles. Cara credits Wags with teaching her many lessons about the stages of a dog's life and how to provide optimal care throughout a pet's lifetime - she feels very lucky to have had Wags as her teacher.
