Dr Claire, animal lover, mum and veterinarian, has always been fascinated with the connection and love shared between pets and their owners. Based on the Gold Coast, she studied Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland and also gained a Certificate of Veterinary Public Health from the University of Sydney. Dr Claire is passionate about community, connection and ensuring a healthy, long and happy life for our pets. She believes that connecting on an emotional level with pet owners in the consult room is essential in providing first class veterinary care – a belief that led to her write her first book, Love your Dog. She regularly appears as a specialist commentator on radio and television and has a strong following on social media.
