Deanna worked as a wildlife keeper for 6 years in Tropical North Queensland, but she decided she required a more challenging career path so pursued veterinary nursing. Nursing offered a wide variety of new skills and most of all a challenge within the animal industry. Deanna relocated to Perth in 2011 to study a full time for her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.  She enjoyed Perth and the lifestyle too much to move back to Queensland as originally planned. Deanna has a poodle named Pablo and 2 cats. 

Emily has been nursing at Ascot since January 2014. She made the big move to Perth from the country, where she previously worked in a mixed practice for 5 years. 

 Three Pomeranians rule her household; Roy, Abbey and Chester, along with one temperamental tabby “Toots” and two fat rabbits.
