Our Vets

Our founders, Dr. Kaori Takeoka and Dr. Ana Carolina Springford, have over 20 years experience combined, working in small animal general practice and emergency hospitals throughout Adelaide. Whilst working many years as senior vets in emergency, critical care and general practice, they have seen many patients that would have benefited from palliative care. That is why they came together to build Horizon Palliative Vets to be able to provide the comfort and care every pet deserves without the stress of travelling to the clinic. Our team will sit together and we will listen to your concerns without the rush of everyday practice. This will allow us to tailor the best plan that specifically benefits you and your pet.

Our vets have both completed the training for Best Practice Euthanasia by the CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy). Dr Ana and Dr Kaori are currently undertaking their certification with the International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC) .
