Dr Molly Leggett (BVSc, CPEV)
My name is Molly Leggett and I am an emergency veterinarian working in Auckland. I am originally from England but have been in New Zealand with my family for 18 years now.
I have done some volunteer work at 4 Paws charity and Country Retreat Animal Sanctuary but spend most my time as an emergency veterinarian. As an emergency vet, I am often found working strange hours and sleeping during the day time but there is nothing more rewarding than being able to look after our loved ones when they really need some extra care.
In my spare time I like to hang out with my partner and go on adventures with our three legged cat Tiny Tim and Devon Rex Pip. My hobbies include going to the gym, exploring our beautiful country and having cups of tea playing board games with friends.
Dr Dearbhla Owens (MVB)
My name is Dearbhla (Derv-la) , most people call me Derv. I come all the way from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have been living in NZ since 2019. I originally came here on a working holiday visa for 1 year but I was captivated by this beautiful country so decided to make it my long term home.
I studied veterinary medicine in Dublin, Ireland and graduated in 2014. I lived and worked in London for 5 years before making the move to NZ. Unfortunately I don't have any pets in New Zealand. Between work and entertaining a 4 year old I haven't had time to bring a new pet into my life just yet.
I have worked mostly as an emergency vet since coming to NZ and love being able to help pets when they need it most.
My hobbies include running, the gym, comedy gigs and exploring the NZ outdoors.
