Veterinary Nurses

Bel Receptionist

Hey there, I’m Bel! I joined The Dog Clinic team in 2017, and prior to that I worked at AHVEC as an Emergency Veterinary Nurse/Receptionist for five years. All together I have been in the veterinary industry for fifteen years and counting now!

My main roles at The Dog Clinic are overseeing stock/medication orders, client communication, management and I also take care of all the Pet Insurance needs for the clinic.

While I love all breeds of dog, I do admit that my favourite breed is the Pug. I have a soft spot for the snorting breeds. Next time you’re in the clinic, come and say hi as I love to chat!

Jennifer Veterinary Nurse

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I have been with The Dog Clinic since early 2019 as a Veterinary Nurse. I have been a Veterinary Nurse for over four years. I have completed my certificate IV in vet nursing and am currently enrolled in my Diploma of veterinary nursing. My passion is to work with all animals, so at the moment I am enjoying working with all breeds of dogs. I have been responsible for implementing our Senior Program for our elder patients, which enables me to work closely with our clients and their beautiful dogs. I have a varied role at The Dog Clinic from reception to surgical nursing which allows me to build a rapport with both clients and patients. My job is different each and every day which I find refreshing and exciting.

I have three dogs of my own: a 12 year old Spoodle called Brian, an 9 year old Border Collie called Zac and a 3 year old Kelpie called Charlie, they definitely keep me on my toes! Also not forgetting there is our 13 year old cat called Chops.

I live with my family out at Glen Huon where we have an 82 acre farm and run a blueberry and cherry orchard, so there is very little spare time but when I do have time I enjoy spending it with my family away from the farm.

Megan Veterinary Nurse

Megan joined The Dog Clinic team in 2021, after working at a critical care clinic in Melbourne. Nurse Meg also used to work at Hobart and Channel Highway Animal Hospitals for many years as a senior nurse.

She is experienced in emergency and orthopaedic surgeries with a love of complex surgical cases. Meg is in charge of our inter-clinic referral surgeries with our friends at Bright Futures, and works closely with Dr Chris Allfree and Nurse Stacey.

Emily Receptionist

Hi, my name is Emily and I started working at The Dog Clinic in 2024. Prior to being part of the team, I was a client with my beautiful chocolate lab, Bronty.

I know first hand how important it is for everyone in the clinic to provide the best possible care for people’s fur babies, and the level of support the lovely vets & nurses give.

I really enjoy getting to know our clients and their dogs to help make everyone’s experience as smooth and stress free as possible. But the best part is the cuddles and pats I get to give to all the lovely doggo’s we see!

Tash Kennel-hand – Client Services

Prior to working at The Dog Clinic, Tash completed her Certificate II in Animal Studies. Tash has a miniature dachshund called Nala who is 5 years old – they like spending time at the beach and going on walks.

Tash is also responsible for the Dog Clinic’s very own parasite prevention program, mailing preventative flea, tick and worming products to our patients all over the state.

Jo Receptionist

Hi, I’m Jo! I joined the Dog Clinic reception team at the end of 2024, after moving to Hobart from the Gold Coast.

I’m currently studying zoology at university, so when I’m not at work, I’m usually in a biology lab. I love ALL animals, but dogs are definitely a favourite! I have a miniature dachshund x cattle dog named Bean, who loves to swim at the beach and go for a coffee at the Picnic Basket cafe.
