I’ve done a 4 week internship at paws of Nusa penida. As a third year vet student I don’t get to practice a lot of practical veterinary skills yet. This internship is the perfect internship to practice those skills.
One of the highlights was the sterilization days. Dr Hendry and his team came over from Bali. I got private lessons from dr Hendry about any subject I wanted.
Besides sterilization days I went with dr Keke to sterilize or check up on dogs and cats where ever we could find them. This way I got to see parts of Nusa penida you would never see as a tourist. We went to a shop next to a busy road, people’s homes and restaurants. Places you wouldn’t normally expect to be doing sterilizations.
Jacquie looks after the dogs and cats of Nusa Penida very passionately. On top of that she’s an amazing host. Always happy to help plan trips or recommend things to do.
The accommodation is just fabulous. I had a private room with bathroom and double bed.
