Anna Dengate
BMedSc BVSc FANZCVS | Small Animal Internal Medicine Specialist
I am a small animal internal medicine specialist, with a love of the holistic human - social - animal - environmental interface that general practice provides. GP teams have such a unique opportunity to improve the wellbeing of animals, their humans and their natural environment. My “why” is to support the local veterinary community, human and animal, to help facilitate the vital work you all do. I do this by providing ultrasound and medical recommendations, keeping pets and clients in their local clinic comfort zones. I also LOVE teaching! Always happy to explain the who, why, how and what to interested colleagues at every level.

As a small animal vet with a Masters in Advanced Clinical Practice and extensive ultrasound experience in the general practice setting, I am excited to be able to support your teams and further develop these skills. Having been involved in teaching students, junior vets and nurses over the years, the Vet's North provides an opportunity to engage with and share my experience across a broader network. I highly value the bond between owners and their pets and the positive impact it has on our physical and mental wellbeing, and I look forward to being more involved in the local veterinary industry and nurturing this bond.

As a GP vet that loves her job, I also understand the stressors of veterinary life. We're often time poor, worried about our patients and dealing with understandably stressed owners. In my role with the Vets North, I love that I get to help Anna simplify cases for you, create specialist medical plans and take the stress out of making sure that we're offering the best treatment plans to our clients. That way there's more time to enjoy our patients and their owners and realise the difference we make in their lives on a daily basis.

BVSc MANZCVS (Small Animal Radiology) | Sonographer
My veterinary journey so far has been in both general practice and specialist referral hospitals. I had the absolute pleasure of doing an imaging internship in Sydney under some amazing radiologists. During this time, I completed my memberships in small animal radiology with the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists. Finding my main passion with abdominal ultrasound, I wanted a way to hybrid my ultrasound skills with my general practitioner mind! Working with The Vet’s North allows me to help veterinarians access the wonderful (and sometimes very challenging) world of ultrasound to help with your cases and, as a result, have a positive impact on the veterinarian-client-animal bond (which I value very highly). In addition to working with The Vet’s North, I continue to work 2-3 days a week in general practice in Western Sydney. My passion for diagnostic imaging is always growing and I love teaching other veterinarians the wonders of ultrasound!
Alex Moore
BSc BVMS | Dermatology Registrar
I am a dermatology registrar who started my veterinary career in small animal practice on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I completed an internship, followed by a residency in dermatology in Perth in 2023.
I understand the importance of GPs and specialist veterinarians working together to improve the quality of life of our beloved pets. When there is collaboration between GP vets, specialists and pet owners, we can ensure that the best, sustainable outcome for our patients and their guardians is achieved.
As part of the Vet’s North team, I hope to help ease the stress of GP vets by providing case management advice for complex, (and at times frustrating!) dermatological cases. Dermatology telemedicine consults are also available for pet owners, including clients living in remote/regional Australia.

I am a registered vet nurse with specialised training in radiology. I love being able to contribute to a safe, collaborative industry where balance is prioritised and continuing education is supported. I hope to see a system where nurses can be further utilised to support the load already on veterinarians and see a change in the longevity of these careers. It’s been inspiring to be surrounded by people who hold these values and witness the positive impact on the industry and animals.
