Vetsouth opened the Balclutha veterinary clinic in April 2017 with the purpose of servicing our clients in South Otago. In the past few years the dairy industry has further expanded in this part of the region but sheep have still got a strong presence in this beautiful area too. Dan Cragg heads up the Balclutha vet clinic, supported by additional vets from Gore and Clydevale, providing 24 hour veterinary services to the Clutha region. For your animals' health, there is also a full shop with everything you need in stock.

Jeanette Skidmore

Jeanette graduated from the Scottish Agricultural College in 2002 with a degree in Agriculture and then worked as a soil fertility consultant throughout the UK until she decided to take the plunge and travel to New Zealand. Jeanette fell in love with South Otago and has never left! She was born and bred into a large sheep, beef and arable farming operation in the north of England, and has spent many years working on farms both in the UK and South Otago. In Jeanette’s spare time her two children and her dog keep her very busy, and she loves to bake and cook. When time allows she also loves camping, the beach and disappearing into the Catlins!
