Our Staff
Maxine and her staff offer a place where both clients and pets feel welcome, staff are friendly and happy and excellent patient care is achieved without a "clinical" hospital feel.
Dr Maxine Donnan
Practice Owner and Veterinarian
Maxine studied veterinary science at Sydney University. She qualified in 2003 and upped and moved all the way to Echuca for a job! She loved the town so much she thought she’d stay and 17 years later she is so excited to have her own business in the town.
Kate
Practice Manager
Kate is our amazing and effervescent Practice Manager! She has her finger on the pulse of the practice and is all over our scheduling and day to day craziness. She comes to us from a long farming background and is well known around town for her sporting prowess, fire rescue skills and larger than life personality – she looks for fun and excitement in all situations. Kate is also our nurse on call with Max just about every night of the week – what a great emergency services team!
LAURYN
Veterinarian
Lauryn has joined the team from the wilds of Kangaroo Island where she owns a vet practice. She has moved over this way with her husband (a local lad) and 3 kiddos, some horses, dogs and sheep. Lauryn has shelved her love for large animal vet work for the time being and is getting stuck into the smallies work – however, you can’t take the farm out of the vet so you’ll see her in her work boots every day!
EMMA
Veterinarian
Emma is one of our vets from Bendigo that has recently joined our little team. She has 3 kidlets and a partner that lives locally. Emma brings with her a wealth of experience and a good sense of humour. In addition to a love of word games she has a special interest in animal behaviour and is more than happy to sort out any wayward pets and their owners.
Hollie
Veterinary Nurse
Hollie has been a nurse at PVC for nearly 3 years. She is originally from Melbourne and is obsessed with rabbits! She has 3 bunny furballs, 2 moggies (ahem….a Maine Coon and a Scottish Fold…) and 2 noisy canines. She also shares her home with one small child and husband! Hollie loves her rabbits more than anything and you will find her on the weekend primping their style. Come and chat to her about your pocket pets or book your cat in for a cat clip with her.
Bec
Veterinary Nurse
Bec came back to the area from far North Queensland and finds it all a bit cold. She loves her dogs, horses and farm life and that’s why she lives in town with only dogs (big ones though!!) She has one trucker hubby and 2 crazy children to keep her out of mischief. On any given day you will find her smiling and buzzing around when you come into the clinic – she loves a chat!
KATE
Receptionist
Kate has long been associated with vet clinics in the Echuca-Moama region and is your first port of call at the Perricoota Vet Clinic. She makes the trek in from out of town daily where she lives with her family and sausage doggo, Arlo. We affectionately call her ‘Smithy’ and she will be thrilled to book your appointment and answer all your pet food and flea/worming needs.
SIAN
Dog Spa Manager
Meet Sian – hairdresser extraordinaire to our canine stars! Her skill with the clippers and scissors is legendary and she is our Number 1 groomer at The Perricoota Dog Spa. Sian is one of our younger team members and injects a bit of a youthful enthusiasm and fun into our days. Come and chat to her about your pooches ‘do’ – she can make it super fancy if you like!
