Presenter(s)

Dr Kerrie Piper
My interest in behaviour as a child was what lead me to study vet science. I graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2004 and started work in mixed practice in Trafalgar. In 2010 I completed my Memberships in Veterinary Pharmacology, and in 2013 Memberships in Veterinary Behaviour. In my spare time I enjoy partnering my border collies in a wide range of sport competitions and demonstrations around the state.
