Our Happy Clients

“Kath has been our Vet for almost 2 decades and you can always trust her to do a great job. Not only does she go out of her way to help our animals she takes the time to help us cope with the stresses of animal injuries. Whether it be standard upkeep and vaccines to emergency call outs Kath is always there for us as a great Vet and a exemplary human being.”

“I never realized the true power of positive reinforcement training until I met Kath. My dog is so well behaved and all my family and friends are so impressed.”

“I was running out of options for helping my animals when I found Mertens Mammals. From training to basic vet care they have been a life saver.”
