  Fantastic vet not only healing camelids but also teaching breeders and vets from many contries, including Poland. I have participated in some courses in person and on-line and it has been always highest professionalism and a huge amount of helpfull information. Clare, many thanks for your hard work because in this way you saved indirectly many alpacas also in Poland :-)

  As a co-owner of Briery Hill Llamas we have used Claire's services as a Camelid Specialist for over 9 years. Her expertise is invaluable and her training courses are second to none. I recommend her courses to anyone who has camelids, you won't be disappointed with what you learn.

  We, Angersleigh Alpacas in Somerset UK, used Claire's services a number of times and, without exception, found her to be highly knowledgable, very professional and extremely helpful. Alpaca owners in the UK are very fortunate to have such an expert available to them.

  Dr Whitehead has been a friend to the alpaca community world wide for many years. She does cutting edge research and is up to date on the newest information and practice. Folks who are close to her are lucky to have her as their vet. She is kind and caring and her services are well worth the cost.

  Can not recommend Claire and this clinic more. I had an orphaned cria who had been born severely premature and had a heart condition on top. I was given such thorough and thoughtful advice on what the next best steps were going to be, and what to expect. The care shown to myself and my little alpaca, Sid, was second to none. I am from Australia and alpaca vets are difficult to come by, so to have her take the time to help despite being in a different country meant so much to me. Although I sadly lost my boy, having been able to consult with you enabled me to feel like I gave him every best possible chance, and I would do it all over again. The service you provide is worth its weight in gold and I truly hope you know how appreciated you are!
