Even though we only see our casual veterinary nurses here and there at our centre, we wouldn’t be able to manage without them.  They have given us the opportunity to send our staff on holidays, training seminars and relieve on sick days.  They're fantastic!

Tracey Prichard

Senior Veterinary Nurse, Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing

(Pictured with Ollie)

 

Tracey started her veterinary nursing career in 1997 in Albury and over the years has specifically enjoyed the contact with clients and their pets.  Her areas of special interest lie with teeth care and prevention of dental disease and also hosting puppy classes and advising new puppy owners with anything from toilet training to teaching pups new tricks.

Having taken a break last year with her young son Hudson and to help hubby Greg on the farm in Tallangatta, she is now enjoying a near full time position with our centre.

Loving large dogs, Tracey’s Great Dane Tori and Bullmastiff Abby adore her and recently Ollie the Siamese cat is causing some entertainment at her home.
