Translation : KIT & BRAIN

Kit had over 15 years of experience in keeping a variety of pets ranging from dogs to rabbits, turtles, fish and parrots; before she joined Tai Wai Small Animal and Exotic Hospital as a receptionist in October 2007. During her time in the hospital Kit has worked hard and now works as a vet assistant. She especially enjoys helping with the hospitalized parrots and providing support feeding to the hospitalized rabbits and chinchillas.

Brian joined us in July 2009 as our Retail Receptionist, he likes nature and all kinds of animals, having more than 9 years experience of keeping reptiles such as turtles, tortoises, snake and lizards, he has built up valuable knowledge on the different species.
