Ana Ferrer

Veterinarian

Originally from the Spain, Ana has spent the last two decades working as a small animal vet in the UK and Australia and after a long period in the UK, she’s happy to call Australia home again.

After fiveyears in the exciting and challenging world of Emergency and Critical Care, she recently decided to go back to her origins as a general practitioner and is really enjoying seeing cute healthy, happy puppies and kittens again. Her main interest as a veterinarian is Internal Medicine and management of hospital cases.
To Ana communication with the patient’s parents is paramount and will always strive to offer all possible options, from “gold standard” to more affordable options, so that the owner can make an informed decision but never compromising the animal’s wellbeing.

In her personal life Ana is mum to two tabby cats: Maui and Byron, Brissie, a little Jack Russell Terrier Cross who, although British by birth, wonders why the family didn’t come over to Australia sooner! She loves the Sunshine Coast doggy lifestyle: going to the beach, the lake, the sunny warm weather.

When she is iot Ana enjoys travelling, being out in nature, writing, painting and different types of crafts, she also loves coffee, especially if in the company of friends and as a true Spaniard never says no to good food and wine.
