Arlette Ludgate
Veterinarian & Practice Owner
Arlette is the practice owner and the main veterinarian at the practice. Her true passion is making every one of her patients' lives better. She loves the variety of treating all species and enjoys going out on farm visits when possible. Her particular areas of professional expertise are feline medicine, companion animal dentistry and dermatology.
Arlette purchased the practice in October of 2012. She was married to a local farmer. Together they have two children, who are of high school age now and who keep her quite busy! Arlette and the kids live in Stoneville with a menagerie of well loved animals.
Arlette became a vet in her 30's when she realised it was one of her true passions in life, yet the one thing she had not yet achieved. She went back to study and graduated from Murdoch University in 2007 with honours. Since then, she has worked as a vet in Narrogin, Dongara, Mundaring and Kalamunda. Before that, she worked as a psychologist in business, working with people to accept change. She absolutely loves animals, is very people focused and supremely service orientated. She enjoys providing the people of Bakers Hill (and the wider area) with an excellent and compassionate veterinary service.
Professionally, she is very comfortable treating all animals (large and small), but her great love is cats. Arlette breeds Maine Coons and when she can find a free moment you will find her on her horse Jasper!

Nicole Woods
Client Support
Nicole is new to the Bakers Hill area, where she lives with her husband and her young daughter.
Prior to nursing, Nicole worked as an Operations Manager in Global Logistics. But she knew that her true calling was helping our furry companions, so she took the opportunity, along with an interstate move, to begin the job of her dreams. Starting out in Canberra, everything fell into place where she quickly realised this is where she belonged. Now back home in Perth, she is very excited to finish off the last of her qualifications, work alongside the beautiful team and Bakers Hill Vets and expand her knowledge in a rural practice.
Her special interest is surgery (the juicy-er the better!), post-operative care and owner education.
Nicole is a caring and gentle nurse who is always up for a chat, and will never say no to getting down on the floor to cuddle the dogs!
She has recently started up her own mobile dog wash and groom service that she runs on her days off from the clinic.
In her downtime, you’ll find her taking her dogs on hikes, cuddling their pet cows, doing laps in the local pools, or running around after her toddler!
She looks forward to further servicing the community and meeting all your beloved pets!
