Did you know Claremont Veterinary Surgery 🏥 is made up of a team of four vets, and eight nurses?
Our regular clients would know us all well, but if you’re not in so often, how about we introduce ourselves? 👋
Starting with Dr Emma Pettet, who was born in Brisbane and, like so many vets before her, decided on her calling after devouring the complete works of James Herriot 📕 as a child. She studied at the University of Queensland, graduating in 2005, and spent the next twenty-odd years working around Australia 🇦🇺 and the UK 🇬🇧, arriving in Tassie in 2014. Alongside Dr Dan she took the plunge and opened Claremont Veterinary Surgery 🐾 in 2016, and together they've grown a team of one vet and two nurses to the busy practice and community hub it is today!
She loves all her patients and is especially interested in oncology and feline medicine. In her spare time she likes to read and garden 🪴, to fulfil the duties of chauffeur and personal assistant to two teenage daughters, and to occasionally stagger and wheeze her way up a mountain-side (if the weather’s nice). She has two lovably obnoxious cats, Sebastian and Viola, and a small flock of chooks who ‘help’ in the garden. 🐓
Incidentally 2026 marks her 21st anniversary as a vet! So - happy 21st! 🥂 🩺 🐾 ❤️
Stay tuned to meet Dr Dan, Dr Kate, and Dr Natalie!
