Louisa graduated at the University of Melbourne in 2003 and started her first job at Heritage Vet Clinic. She left Heritage Vet in late 2004 to do locum work at RSPCA and the Lort Smith and returned after 6 months. Her "furry" adoptee is a black-and-white cat called "Mila" who was found as a scruffy looking kitten stray at the Werribee campus of the Veterinary School.
Angie started vet nursing at Heritage Vet Clinic in 2003. Before vet nursing, Angie spent her time breeding and showing Champion Bull Terriers.

Angie's loving pets include 19-year-old Jack Russell x Chihuahua "Spotty", "Holly" the Bull Terrier and the loud-mouthed Cockatoo named "Cocky".

"Knox" came to us in May 2006. She originally was a cat boarder, but her owners never picked her up. Instead of sending her to the shelter, Knox has taken up residence on the staffroom chairs and the front desk. In the morning she is usually curled up in the staffroom in front of the heater. As it warms up in the afternoon you may see her sprawled in the middle of reception or jammed on the window ledge catching some sun rays. She will occasionally tease the dogs and cats that come into the clinic but does not like them getting too close.
