Oliver Herbert

Clinic Manager

With 28 dog years of experience under his belt, our Clinic Manager, Dr of Pig’s Ear Dissection and CEO of Welcomes & Greetings, Oliver Herbert, has refined his substantial skill-set in human relations which he diligently applies to staff and clients alike. You may find his smiling face peeking behind the reception desk or adjacent, perusing the pig’s ear aisles of Petbarn hoping to cajole his comrades into a snack or three.

Despite his ample stature and years of exposure, Oliver remains sub-competent in feline relations, prefer to hug the hallways in an attempt to keep a two meter radius between himself and any cat carrier. Please do not be offended if he is unable to perform his typical greeting duties under these circumstances.

Coming from a rescue background, Oliver prefers a gentle pat under the chin to over-exuberant interactions, though he makes special exception for children. Despite his busy treat schedule and significant sleep obligations Dr Herbert has no hesitation in making himself available to clinic visitors so please feel free to say hi should you see him ambling about!
