Phoenix Animal Wellness
At PAW we have gathered together a group of dedicated animal health professionals who are committed to providing outstanding, innovative, value for money care.

Paul is a 2019 graduate of Massey University. He started work in the South Island, with his first job being in a Canterbury dairy cattle practice before undertaking mixed practice roles in Oamaru and then Kaikoura. While in the South Island he spent as much time as possible exploring all the mountains and rivers he could.
He then spent time in the UK travelling and undertaking mixed and companion animal locum positions for a year, before he missed New Zealand too much and came back. Having fallen in love with the Bay of Islands (and fishing) while spending his holidays here growing up, on his return at the start of 2025 he decided to move here permanently. He worked in a mixed role again for a year before joining the team at Phoenix to focus on companion animal practice. Paul enjoys working with pets of all species and sizes, but is particularly keen on pig dogs.
Outside of work Paul loves being outdoors, and living in Northland to him that means being on the sea.
