MACARTHUR VETERINARY GROUP

Julie Prestridge joined MVG in October 2010. Before joining us as an employee Julie completed training as a groomer with one of our experienced Groomers at our Bradbury clinic. Julie’s skills were such that she was quickly offered a position and since then she has been receiving rave reviews from clients for her grooming at both our Bradbury and Mt. Annan Clinics. Julie was awarded Employee of the Month in March, 2011 to acknowledge what a great ambassador she is for MVG.

Prior to joining MVG Julie worked in the dental and retail Industries. Like all our staff Julie loves working with animals and with her family owns a Limousin Cattle Stud in the local area. Julie’s family includes a Cavoodle, named Riley, a Kelpie cross – called Tess, one Ferret - Cleo, 2 x Rabbits and a silky chicken.

Michelle is one of our groomers at Camden, with 5 years experience in dog and cat grooming.

Michelle's own pets include a German Shepherd Cross named "Sascha" and an Indian Ringneck parrot named "Wally".

Michelle is married with 5 children.

Belinda returned to our Mt. Annan Clinic as a groomer in March, 2011 as a part time Groomer following a hiatus of three years.

The loss of Belinda’s own much loved pet to parvovirus helped her realise that her future career lay in the care of the pets of others. She originally completing her vet nursing training in 1996 and some time later she learned to groom from a personal friend, and since then, in her own words “has never looked back”.

Grooming works well for Belinda as she breeds and shows champion Shih Tzus, 14 of whom have achieved Australian champion status. Of the 12 she owns, two are currently being shown and a further 3 are in training to start their career in the show ring shortly.

Belinda’s other hobby is playing Poker, which she has been enjoying since 2004.
