PETSinTuition Veterinary Clinic

TAFE SA’s PETSinTuition clinic at Gilles Plains gives students hands-on experience under the guidance of qualified veterinary professionals. Each day, a veterinarian, a veterinary nurse, and our trainee nurses provide expert care.

As South Australia’s only provider of Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, TAFE SA offers a fully equipped clinic with surgery, dental, radiology, and grooming facilities. Open to the public, we deliver professional consultations and surgeries in a safe, supportive learning environment.

At PETSinTuition, we’re passionate about pets and the people who care for them.

Adopt a Retired Greyhound

During their studies, our students care for retired greyhounds, gaining hands-on experience in canine health and welfare.

In partnership with South Australian greyhound trainers, PETSinTuition helps retired greyhounds transition into loving homes. Gentle and affectionate, these “fastest couch potatoes” thrive on human connection and make ideal companions.

Interested in adopting a greyhound? Call us on (08) 8207 1177.
