Meet Dr Kasturi, our passionate Veterinarian! Inspired by her beloved pet Tommy’s health struggles at the age of 16, Dr Kasturi made a heartfelt vow to dedicate her life to veterinary care. This promise led her to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2016. Her journey in small animal practice took her to the serene Langkawi Island for five enriching years, followed by three years at a premier referral practice in bustling Kuala Lumpur. Along the way, she gained diverse experience through internships at the National Zoo of Malaysia, various turf clubs, CP swine and poultry farms, and even as a sponsored intern under Dairy Australia. In 2022, the allure of New Zealand’s breathtaking landscapes beckoned, prompting Dr Kasturi to pass the Australasian Veterinary Board Examination. She now brings her passion and expertise to CareVets Mt Wellington, where she has been making a difference since 2023. Outside the clinic, Dr Kasturi’s heart beats for her family and her two adorable furbabies, Laxmi and and Vidya. Her special interest includes feline medicine, dermatology, cytopathology, and surgery. Join Dr Kasturi on a journey where pet care meets passion, and together, let’s create a healthier, happier world for our beloved furry companions!
