Graduating veterinary medicine in 2018, Chermaine has always had a special interest in animal behaviour, care for the less fortunate pets and rescue work. Her quiet and compassionate demeanour makes her perfect for the extra timid and scared animals. Chermaine also has a love for the smaller pocket pets and her feline friends, having a collection of her own at home.
 

Dr. Ayla started with us early 2023.
She graduated in 2011 from CSU Veterinary school in Wagga Wagga, NSW.
Since graduating she has predominantly worked on the east coast in QLD in both regional and suburban clinics, even dabbling in full time equine work for a few years during this time.
Born and brought up in a small town in the Northern Territory, this is where her love and appreciation for animals started.
Since graduating Dr. Ayla has found special interests in a number of areas of veterinary practises including ophthalmology & pain management. However, her biggest goal is to provide a great rapport with client and pets through thorough and ongoing communication of management and care.
When not at work, Dr. Ayla’s hands are very full. Also a mother of a young cheeky daughter and two polar opposite miniature Dachshunds.
Dr. Ayla continues to be amazed & in awe everyday of the strength, compassion & resilience animals show us constantly.
