In 2021 Dr Bec, along with Deb and Tara and their families, purchased the clinic with the dream of having a family owned clinic that offers their clients the best of care for their fur babies with understanding and support for them like no other.
At Brassall Vets, Dr Bec and her team truly love your pets!

Dr Bec is a knowledgeable, caring and compassionate veterinarian who is a highly experienced surgeon. She loves all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, and has a special interest in ophthalmology and all soft tissue surgery.
Having grown up with a large fur family, Dr Bec is so thankful that her two young daughters, Eden and Claire, are able to as well. They are following in her footsteps with a love for animals and passion for helping them, and you will often see the kids and her husband Mark helping out around the clinic.
With her own dogs, cats and ponies, she knows how important your pets are to you, and is passionate about treating them as her own.

Dr Alex graduated from the University of Queensland in 2017.

Dr Alex has a wide range of knowledge and experience in all areas of veterinary medicine and surgery. With a warm and down to earth personality, she has a straight forward approach and takes the time to explain things simply, get to know you and your pet, and help you anyway she can.
Although Dr Alex loves all animals great and small, she has a soft spot for cattle dogs. She looks forward to getting to know you and your pets!
