Who is Grassroots Vet?

Agnes Meredith was born and raised in Sāmoa. She qualified as a veterinarian in 2011 from the University of Queensland and has been travelling across Australia, New Zealand working with dogs, cats, pigs, cattle, sheep and even the odd alpaca. Her interests lie in soft tissue surgery and emergency critical care, however she also has a passion for senior pet care (many thanks to Bruce) as well as ensuring puppies and kittens have a strong start in life with their new families.

Having grown up in Sāmoa, Agnes is no stranger to what life is like for the island stray and the socioeconomic aspect surrounding pet ownership and care in this region. This is where the grassroots side of vet work lies  for her and is what underpins her "why" in starting up this company and its strong focus on "contextualised veterinary care".

Agnes is keen to share her knowledge and expertise to advocate for animal welfare and provide veterinary care for animals especially those in disadvantaged communities.
