My Bio
At Pawly Understood, we focus on behavioural health in companion animals and decreasing the friction between animal and guardian/family/community with the help of our force-free trainers and vets. Dr. Parker is a behaviour veterinarian. A qualified and experienced veterinarian who has completed further study in the field of animal behaviour "I help animal patients who have behaviour and psychological problems using scientific, up-to-date, evidence-based and ethical medical treatment. I am dedicated to improving animal welfare and the human-animal bond through increasing education, understanding and intervention of mental health in pets." Having always been fascinated by both psychology and animal behaviour, I naturally found my calling in the blossoming field of veterinary behaviour. I learned of the confronting reality of how commonly behaviour issues devastate the lives of pets and their families. I was struck by how fundamentally important but under-recognised this area of veterinary medicine was. So I launched into it and never looked back. As a vet, I have a special interest and additional post-graduate qualifications in behaviour. I graduated from Murdoch University in WA in 2010. I then undertook further study through the University of Sydney and gained membership through examination to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 2016. I am so grateful that I have been able to combine my academic and real-world passions to enthusiastically follow a unique, challenging and rewarding career path. I love feeling like I have made a difference at the end of each day. My ultimate mission is to change and save lives."
