Experienced Enough To Trust, Small Enough To Care
At Rosebud Pet Vet we offer the benefits of a small, consistent team of vets and vet nurses. We get to know you and your pet so that we can offer you the best care available. Offering you a holistic approach with more options, care and advice.
Our Team
Dr Dennis Cutts
Co-Founder
Dr Dennis Cutts thinks being a vet is the best job in the world. After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1981, he worked for two years in a mixed practice on the western outskirts of Sydney. In 1984 he moved to Sunbury and developed a practice treating the full range of domestic and farm animals. Since 2000 he has restricted his practice to pet animals and developed strong interests in orthopaedic conditions, general surgery and behavioural issues.
In recent years he has enjoyed spending more time with clients helping them keep their pets healthy and happy. A desire for a sea change and the opportunity to continue providing veterinary care to the community has led Dennis and his wife Robyn, to start Rosebud Pet Vet. Dennis realises that in the information age people can be overwhelmed and confused and need someone they can trust to help sort through the different options for their pet’s health. Outside of work you may see Dennis and his fox terrier Jimmy walking on the foreshore, or whizzing past on his bicycle, or even trying to keep afloat on his kayak.
Dr Dennis Cutts has now retired and no longer practising.
Robyn Cutts
Co-Founder
Robyn has over 25 years of experience as a vet nurse and is keen to extend her kindness and knowledge to clients.
Her nursing skills have been put to the test with her own animals, ranging from a featherless cocky and a blind fox terrier, to an adventurous cat.
Robyn has nursed in a variety of practices including an emergency centre and has developed strong surgical nursing skills. She has wide ranging experience – from puppy training through to bereavement counselling and loves helping people and their pets.
Robyn Cutts has recently retired and is no longer practising.
