Lewis hails from Mt Albert but has close ties with Piha. Lewis graduated in 2020, and before joining our team worked as an emergency vet, and also spent eight months working as a vet in Cambodia for a charitable trust.

Lewis's favorite part of the job is meeting our lovely clients (humans and their furry friends!)

Amy Brown BVSc

Veterinarian

Dr Amy Brown was born in South Korea where her parents were both English teachers, and came back to NZ when she was a year and a half old.

Amy started her Veterinary career in New Plymouth before moving north to Auckland where as well as surgeries and consults she did a lot of pre-departure and export work.

One of her favorite things about being a mobile vet is how most cats are so much more relaxed and happy at home than in clinic.

When not busy being a vet, Amy is competitive dancer and avid book reader (and collector!)
