Veterinarian

Dr Christopher Riddell

Chris grew up in the Waikato on his family’s dairy farm before making the illustrious move to Palmerston North where he studied Veterinary Science at Massey University.

After graduation, he jumped the ditch to complete a small animal internship in a specialist hospital in Brisbane where he rotated through medicine and surgery.

After completing the internship and being wary of picking up an Australian accent if he stayed any longer, Chris moved back to NZ and opted for the stunning Nelson where he now lives with his partner Olivia.

Outside of work, Chris enjoys tennis, tramping and looking after Mr Floyd, a 14yr old British Shorthair who didn’t appreciate the photo shoot.
