About Us

Pawsitive Instinct is based in Brisbane, Queensland Australia.

I have always had a love of animals and been blessed with living and working with a variety of animals from parrots, cats, dogs, small animals, livestock and horses. 

I have a particular passion for natural animal nutrition and enrichment.

 I studied Animal Care (received academic awards of Excellence both years - 1999 & 2000) & Agricultural Science in High School as well as being on the High Schools Sheep Showing team for three years. I have done volunteer work for RSPCA &

Riding for the Disabled.

  •  *Certificate II in Companion Animal Industry Studies through TAFE QLD (2000)

  • *Certificate of Participation: Step Up Parrots & People Working Together. Parrot Society Australia conducted by Barbara Heidenreich & Pamela Clark on positive reinforcement training and  parrot behaviour problem solving. (2013)

I share my life with Bella (Lhasa Apso, who sadly passed away 14/02/2022 at 13/14 years of age), Basil (Shih Tzu now 15yrs), Satinka (Shorthaired Tabby), Aslan (Shorthaired Tabby),  Finley & Willoughby (Both have since passed away), and two lively Labradoodles Wilfred & Lottie, as well as a flock of cheeky parrots.

​

My aim is to provide quality enrichment, healthy treats and natural supplements and products as well as a service to provide healthy wholefood nutrition plans with a particular focus on felines to help you help your pets thrive
