“Being a vet is so awesome, but it can come with a great diversity of challenges and situations that we have to navigate, and that's where having a fantastic team of professionals to help us comes so handy.“Being a vet is so awesome, but it can come with a great diversity of challenges and situations that we have to navigate, and that's where having a fantastic team of professionals to help us comes so handy.

If you're an employee, if you're an employer, if you're self-employed, and if you just need some help and support or some great CPD, become a member of the NZVA.”
