Feilding Companion Team

Christine Moloney BVSc
Companion Animal Veterinarian

I am currently the head of the Companion Animal Department, having spent the last 30 years guiding it to where it is today. I especially enjoy the relationships I have with my many clients and my interest in surgery. My spare time is spent with my partner on our sheep and beef farm, where we can be found mustering on horseback, or trekking through the bush when time allows.

Helen Sheard BVSc MVM
Companion Animal Veterinarian

I grew up in the South Island but moved north and graduated from Massey in 2003. I worked in mixed practice in Raetihi, Taihape and Levin before ending up in Feilding. I love working dogs, have been involved in various working dog research projects and am a trustee for the Retired Working Dog NZ charity. Aside from working dogs, I’m also interested in orthopaedics and dermatology.

Joanne Nesdale BVSc
Companion Animal Veterinarian

I was raised on a sheep and beef farm in the Hawke's Bay.

I graduated from Massey in 1992 and after working in mixed practice in Taranaki came to the Manawatu. I began working for Manawatu Vet Services (now Totally Vets) in 1994. After a stint in travelling and then working in Somerset England, and a break with family, I returned to Totally Vets.

I love both cats and dogs and do have a soft spot for those working dogs.

Julia Giles BVSc MVM (dist) PhD
Companion Animal Veterinarian

I graduated from Massey University in 2008 and worked in a private companion animal practice in New Zealand before undertaking a rotating internship at the University of Queensland. I have worked in the general practice and emergency/critical care departments of Massey University and worked as clinical lead at a local veterinary hospital and moved to Totally Vets to follow my special interest in internal medicine. Outside of work, I have two small children, a cat and free-range chickens. I also play the piano and write my own classical music.

Sally Browning BVSc
Companion Animal Veterinarian

I joined Totally Vets in 2008 after working in various practices in New Zealand and the UK over the past 20+ years. I love the variety of a small animal practice and enjoy the relationships that develop with my clients while looking after their furry friends. I particularly like cats and have a special interest in medicine and dentistry. My own cats Scotti & Paddy are best mates and provide me with a lot of enjoyment watching their antics together.

Susan Ransom BVSc

I emigrated from the UK in 2008. I have worked as a small animal vet at Totally Vets, then in Christchurch and now back in Feilding. I enjoy the variety in SA work but especially surgery.
