Vet Nurse Lauren

Vet Nurse Lauren 

Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing

Lauren started her career as a zookeeper working with various Australian native animals in zoos and conservation centres around Australia. She especially loved her time with Tree Kangaroos in far North Queensland and koalas in Adelaide. Lauren found her interest in the medical care of these species while she was zookeeping and decided to study vet nursing.

Lauren has worked in small animal veterinary clinics as well as running her own mobile vet nursing business. Before starting with us, she worked with Antarctic penguins and aquatic species. Lauren loves having the opportunity to combine her two loves: exotic species and nursing.

Hobbies and Intereses

Outside of work, Lauren keeps busy as a singer in a wedding band. She also swims a couple of times a week and has a revolving door of foster animals.

Owned Pets

Lauren is a proud pet parent to Penelope Ruth, a gorgeous Bearded Dragon that she adopted from our very own Homeless Herps program many years ago.

Cannot speak highly enough of the caring and lovely staff at UPV Osborne Park. Particularly to Dr Kelly for the wonderful treatment and compassion she displayed caring for my much loved Bugz. Definitely recommend this practice. Simply the Best.

Gretel – Thankyou for all the tips and advice on what and what not to do with the bunnies.

We will definitely be recommending to all our exotic animal friends.

Excellent service, caring and professional advice, and very good handling for our pet bird, on our first visit today at The Unusual Pet Vets, Jindalee. Very helpful, and they also provided further reading for us via email after our appointment regarding a few things we asked about. All staff were lovely and friendly – from the initial phone booking (you can do internet bookings too) to and including the consult. Thank you very much – we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.
