Pets
Hi there! My name is Jacqui, and along with my partner Leigh (and our two kids!), we run a little online dog business called Tails and Treats, based right here in Dee Why!
From unique dog toys and stylish clothing, to healthy treats and comfy beds, we’ve got everything to make your fur-baby’s tail wag.
As pet owners ourselves, we know how important it is to provide the best for our furry friends. We may not have the flashy website or endless products and stock like those big box and national pet chains, but what we lack in size, we make up for in heart.
When you shop with us, you're not just buying a product - you're supporting a dream, a passion, a community and most importantly your pooch!
As an integrative small animal veterinarian, I'm passionate about treating your whole pet, rather than merely alleviating symptoms, and developing a customised approach to health care.
Through integrating contemporary veterinary medicine with naturopathic remedies, personalised herbal formulas, lifestyle advice, and targeted nutritional support, my goal is to help your pet live their best life and achieve optimal wellbeing.
I grew up on the Northern Beaches and have been interested in healthcare my entire life, as the daughter of two general practitioners, though my love of animals led me to veterinary medicine rather than human medicine. I graduated from the University of Sydney in 2011 and have been practicing as a small animal veterinarian ever since, and the owner of Aubreen Veterinary Hospital since 2015. I obtain great joy from helping families enhance their pets' vitality and navigate through life's health challenges.
I am passionate about lifestyle and diet modification to improve overall health & wellbeing. I utilise herbal tonics to boost immune system function, provide bodywide anti-inflammatory action, soothe the nervous system, improve the microbiome, improve circulation, boost vitality, and to either work synergistically or in place of conventional medicine. A strong, healthy body with a happy mind is the best defence against illness, and the cornerstone of coping with the busy lives our modern pets live. It is also the key to a robust immune system and assists in minimising the side effects of conventional veterinary medicine.
