Dr Amanda
Vet
  • BVSc

Amanda was raised in Melbourne, but the calling of sunshine took her to Queensland for 14 years. During this time she studied Vet science and graduated the University of Queensland in July 2016. After working in a small animal clinic for a year, she decided to move back to Melbourne with her partner and fur family. She began working for Ultimate Vet Clinic in November 2017. 

Amanda's passion is Feline medicine. Having been owned by cats all her life, she very much understands their actions, behaviours and how to handle them. She can’t wait to meet your furry felines and help them be the healthiest and happiest cat possible.

At home, Amanda has 3 domestic cats – Reginald, Mary and Eddie. An Australian Cattle Dog – Kimmie, and a Staffy – Ruby. When not busy with all the animals she enjoys spending time at the beach.
