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!

Jess Stacey
Jess is our new Fairy Godmother who waves her wand over the hospital and makes everything clean and wonderful again. Aside from this thankless, though so important to the overall operation of things, job of cleaning, she also makes sure we don't run out of any supplies we need, amongst the many other things she does for us. Make sure to say hi if you see her at the clinic.

Tara Meling
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Tara was part of the team many years ago, but she is Dr Arlette's close friend so you may see her lending a helping hand from time to time.
Tara’s nursing passions are four legs and a tail! In other words, great and small, she loves them all! In particular, she loves treating horses and working with large animals and she enjoys emergency and critical care nursing.
After completing her training as a Veterinary Nurse in 2012, Tara worked in a small animal practice in Perth until she and her family moved into the local area to have more space for animals. Tara is married and has two children. She owns a collection of animals, including three dogs, two horses and several chickens. She loves competing with her horses and hopes to get back to high level competition one day.
