Danni joined Knox Vet Clinic in 2016 in a Locum position and we loved the energy she brought to the clinic so much that we asked her to stay with us on a permanent basis.  Danni keeps herself busy and the nurse’s nails in the clinic looking beautiful with her Jamberry business on the side.  She has a four legged family at home with her husband Alan that includes the usual suspects of a dog and cat but then the unusual addition of Jimmy the bearded dragon….who turns from a beautiful golden colour to black when he is grumpy!!! Danni also loves caring for Rabbits and has a particular interest and wealth of knowledge in their health and any issues that may arise.
