As a child, Dr Katherine was raised up in a family with different kinds of small animals. Due to her love for her childhood companions, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2008. In some of the attachments during her veterinary studies, Katherine was surprised to have seen cases that showed promising improvement with alternative therapies. Since then she had developed interest in alternative treatments in addition to conservative veterinary medicine. Within 2 years of graduation, Katherine became certified acupuncturist and has practised acupuncture since. Having seen what acupuncture can do for the animals, she hoped patients in her hands can benefit from combination of both Western and Chinese Medicine. So she was determined and became a certified Chinese herbalist couple of years later. Over the years, she had also further her studies in small animal internal medicine and nutrition. She is also dedicated to become certified animal physiotherapist in the near future. Katherine always bears this in her mind, 'treat any animal like your own pet', and she thinks this is what keeps her motivated throughout the years. At home, Katherine has a responsive cat called Yau Yau, and a friendly chinchilla named Chau Chau. She has recently adopted a hyperactive dog that needs extra attention, just like her twin boys. Katherine likes shopping, swimming and going out with her little boys in her spare time.

Dr. Carmen Chui developed a keen interest in biology and chemistry during her time in high school. While many of her peers were considering pursuing human medicine, she pondered the possibility of applying these subjects in a different field. After volunteering at various organizations in Hong Kong, she became captivated by the diverse range of animals that veterinarians work with. This fascination led her to embark on the journey of pursuing veterinary medicine.

Although Dr. Chui currently does not have any pets of her own due to her frequent travels and busy schedule, she aspires to one day have a Sphynx cat and a ShihTzu.

Throughout her veterinary career, Dr. Chui has been fortunate to have had wonderful mentors who have guided her at different stages. Additionally, she now serves as a mentor to junior clinicians at the clinic, where they exchange ideas, discuss cases, and learn from each other's perspectives. Dr. Chui also collaborates with department heads in nursing, technician, and customer service to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the clinic.

Upon completing her Fear Free certification, Dr. Chui gained valuable insights into various hands-on techniques to alleviate pets' anxiety in the hospital environment. These techniques include positive reinforcement with high-value treats, towel restraint, the use of muzzles, pheromones, and pre-visit medication to reduce stress before pets even enter the clinic.

Dr. Chui's area of expertise lies in small animal internal medicine, where she deals with various organ systems of animals' bodies. She acknowledges that diagnosing and treating issues in pets can sometimes be akin to detective work, requiring patience and thorough investigation. Despite the challenges, Dr. Chui finds fulfillment in advocating for animals, who cannot speak for themselves, and cherishes the special bond between pets and their owners that she witnesses in her privileged position as a veterinarian. 

Dr. Angel completed her veterinary training at the Royal Veterinary College in London. 

Her lifelong passion for animals was evident since childhood through showing love and care for all creatures great and small. 

Driven by an innate desire to make a difference in the lives of animals, Dr. Angel decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and dedicated to becoming a life-saving doctor. 

She has special interests in surgery and emergency care, with plans to expand her expertise through a certificate in acupuncture. 

Additionally, she is the proud owner of Yabi, a beloved pet duck from Taiwan, who has garnered popularity on social media and has even attended a few of TV shows. 

Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Angel finds joy in singing, dancing, watching musicals, engaging in outdoor activities, and exploring the world through travel.

Dr. Jade Wong’s journey into veterinary medicine has been fueled by a deep love for animals of all shapes and sizes, whether domestic, wild, big, or small. Her educational path led her to the esteemed Royal Veterinary College in London, where she honed her skills in animal care and medical practice, earning her BVetMed and becoming a proud Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS).

Beyond her dedication to animal health, Dr. Jade is passionate about natural history and archaeology, often finding inspiration from the past to enrich her present-day practices. She’s fascinated by ancient sites and has a keen eye for film photography, capturing both the world around her and the animals she cherishes. In her free time, you might find her hiking trails, exploring archaeological ruins, or enjoying Pilates to maintain balance in her active life.

Dr. Jade's holistic approach to veterinary medicine combines her technical expertise with a genuine empathy for every creature she treats. At Peticare, she’s committed to providing the best care possible to each and every patient, making a difference one paw at a time.

Dr. Ada Yenson Lee earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Purdue University, Indiana, before pursuing her Graduate-Entry Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine at University College Dublin. With a strong foundation in both animal sciences and veterinary medicine, she brings a well-rounded perspective to patient care.

Her professional experience includes working in a veterinary clinic closely affiliated with various animal shelters, where she developed expertise in handling and treating stray animals. She has worked extensively with CCCP (Community Cat Care Program) & TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) volunteer carers, giving her a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by community animals and their caregivers.

Dr. Lee has a keen interest in nutrition, research, genomics, and geriatric care. She believes in a client- and patient-centered approach, advocating for fear-free practices and a holistic outlook on pet well-being. She enjoys discussing every aspect of pet care with owners, from diet and environmental management to behavioral enrichment.

Her dedication to patient comfort goes beyond the usual—once, while caring for a stressed boarding cat, she discovered that the pet's owner spoke Dutch to her cat at home. To help the cat feel more at ease, Dr. Lee took the initiative to learn basic Dutch phrases like "good girl" and "good cat" using Google Translate’s text-to-speech feature. Small gestures like this reflect her deep commitment to making animals feel safe and understood.

Outside of work, Dr. Lee has always been passionate about animal welfare. As a teenager and during her early college years, she volunteered with Hong Kong Dog Rescue, assisting with feeding, grooming, and walking dogs. She found particular joy in bonding with their “red zone” dogs—those who were fearful or reactive—because earning their trust was an incredibly rewarding experience.

Dr. Lee is fluent in English and Cantonese, and for fun, she even knows how to say "come," "sit," and "good boy/girl" in Finnish—a skill that has yet to be tested on actual Finnish dogs!

In her free time, she enjoys martial arts, digital artwork, video production, board games, and volunteering with Hong Kong’s wild animal rescue center. She also loves spending time with her two dogs—Baby, a Corgi-Spitz cross, and Honey, an adorable mongrel with one ear up and one ear down.
