“I think I came out of the womb and wanted to be a vet!”

Listen to Jacqui on MoreFM with Ken Swan

Our newest vet graduate Jacqui Ardern recently chatted with Ken Swan on MoreFM’s breakfast show about life as a vet, and it’s a great listen.

Jacqui finished her studies in November 2025 and joined our team straight after graduating. We adore her at the clinic, and this interview shows exactly why.

An animal lover with a sharp mind and a genuine love of meeting new people, Jacqui says she was born to be a vet. Her favourite part of the job is surgery. As an empathetic scientist at heart, she loves that every day brings the chance to help animals, and their people too.
