Meet Our Pets

Uma
Dr. Nick’s Cat

Uma is Dr. Nick’s beloved elderly rescue cat and the grandmother of The Pet Vet team. She has chronic cat flu and arthritis, giving Dr. Nick firsthand experience in managing chronic health conditions at home. Uma doesn’t let this get her down! She’s very chatty, especially in the mornings, and loves nothing more than sunbathing and cuddles.

Lola and Lucy
Dr. Jo’s Dogs

Sisters and best friends, Lucy and Lola are Dr. Jo’s fun-loving terrier crosses, adopted from HKDR. These girls are all about adventures—their favourite things are long walks, chasing crabs on the beach, playing tag with each other, getting in lots of belly rubs, or simply following Dr. Jo around wherever she goes! Their dislikes include getting their teeth brushed, but mom (aka Dr. Jo) does this for them daily (and the tasty toothpaste helps!) With their cheeky smiles and tail wags, Lucy and Lola are always ready for the next exciting adventure!

Pending
Rachel’s Dog

Pending, is actually settled. She was found by the SPCA group and was then rescued. She had suffered with scabies as well as patella luxation, but is now perfectly recovered. Pending looked completely different when she was young, so mom (aka. Rachel) had a hard time defining what breed she was, that is why Pending underwent a DNA test. Turns out, she is a 62.51% of Poodle mixed with various breeds. Feel free to guess what other breeds Pending carries!
