About Findy


Dr Findy started as a small animal veterinarian in Newcastle NSW after graduating from the University of Sydney with first class honours. She has since been servicing the area for the past 15 years. In 2017, Dr Findy furthered her studies in animal behaviour with the University of Edinburgh, UK and graduated with a Masters degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour.



Let's Talk Paws Veterinary Behaviour Services was established with the goal of supporting human-animal relationships by providing owners with an understanding of behaviour from an animals' perspective and options for additional pharmaceutical support.


​Apart from seeing private patients, Dr Findy has extensive experience in shelter rehabilitation work and regularly provides her consultancy and post adoption services to RSPCA NSW and Greyhounds as Pets NSW.


This continued interest in post adoption support has motivated her to undertake a PhD candidature with the Psychology Department at the University of Sydney, researching the role and application of attachment styles in the rehoming of shelter dogs. ​
