Hello!
I’m Louisa. A veterinarian in Wairarapa with 20+ years of experience.
Louisa Broughton, an experienced veterinarian, has launched her own practice in Carterton, specializing in equine and feline care. As a dedicated horse vet, Louisa has expanded her services to include cats, driven by her passion for improving their welfare and reducing stress during vet visits.
Wairarapa Mobile Vet
Louisa’s love for cats is well-known, and her own three-legged cat, Tripod, is a testament to her dedication. Her practice offers flexible options, including house visits and consultations at her renovated “Cat Caravan”, which will soon provide mobile services to surrounding areas.
With a strong background in equine care, Louisa graduated from Massey University and worked in mixed practice, including in England. She developed a special interest in equine work, earning a General Practitioners Certificate in Equine Practice.
Louisa’s mobile equine service allows her to conduct routine and second-opinion horse work at the horse’s own yard or a convenient location in the Wairarapa. She collaborates with Panorama Equestrian in Gladstone, utilizing their excellent facilities.
To book an appointment or inquire about Louisa’s services, please call 0275990045 or email louisa@hcvet.nz. Note that the clinic exclusively caters to equine and feline clients; for other species, Louisa recommends The Vet Clinic Wairarapa.
