Veterinary Nurse
Denae Moir
With 16+ years under her belt, it's been quite the ride! From bustling clinics to hopping around as a locum, Denae has had the pleasure of caring for all sorts of critters, each leaving their paw print on her heart.
​
At home, it's all about her furry crew: Puzzle, her wise old horse at 27, Sam, the energetic youngster, Barley, her loyal golden retriever, and Bailey, the OG cat. They keep her smiling every day and remind her why I fell in love with animal care in the first place.
When she's not at work, you'll find her chilling with family, soaking up some waterfront vibes, or hitting the road on her motorbike. Whether Its swapping stories with fellow animal lovers or digging into the latest vet research, her passion for our four-legged pals runs deep.
