Dr Tanya Caltabiano, AKA the Boss Dawg, is the illustrious leader of The Foreshore Vet.

Tanya set up The Foreshore Vet in 2021 from scratch.

The effect of stress in the veterinary workplace is at an all time high, and Tanya has made it her mission to create change.

As well as being the fearless leader, Tanya provides very comprehensive veterinary care and with her charming manner keeps clients and patients impeccably cared for.
