Meet Our Team
Dr Phil Hutt
Founder & Veterinarian
Dr Phil has worked in the Adelaide Region for many years as a small animal veterinarian, but spent much of his younger years in the country working with large animals as well. He has always been a passionate advocate for animal health and has always opened his clinic doors to the wildlife of the region. With the help of Rae Campbell and many other dedicated people he opened Adelaide's first wildlife Centre. Although Dr Phil enjoys all aspects of veterinary science he particular enjoys difficult surgeries and educating people on the best way to care for their animals. |
