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. She had a big idea and a vision to provide a veterinary clinic that is different to all the others: providing a place where the staff have a great work – life balance as well as job satisfaction, that provides excellent, patient-centric veterinary care to the pets of the inner south.
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.
