Dr. Ken Davidson
Veterinarian & Practice Owner (B.V.Sc. (hons))
When I first came to the area we were doing dairy, beef and horse practice in this very rural area. Steadily this has changed as the population has grown, and now we are a small animal practice.
The hospital building now accommodates a registered 'A' Class Small Animal Hospital in Moss Vale, with all modern facilities including fully equipped surgery, full patient monitoring including Apalert, Mindray (ECG, tissue oxygen, blood pressure), X-ray facilities, in-house laboratory and a high speed dental setup, making for the practice of high quality Veterinary Science which we strive to achieve.
The vet hospital has full contact with a variety of specialists. Having said this, you can be re-assured that most veterinary problems we encounter are dealt within our own hospital.
In 1986, we commenced a cat boarding business, Argyle Boarding Cattery, which runs as a separate business to the hospital.

Alice Pike
Veterinary Nurse (Cert IV Veterinary Nursing; Statement of Attainment Medical Terminology, Cert II Animal Studies)
Alice joined the BDVH team in November 2012, after working for other veterinary practices in the area. She completed her Veterinary Nursing training in 2011, through Yallah TAFE.
Alice enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing, but particularly diagnostics.
She loves caring for all the animals who pass through our hospital, but particularly those animals who have had bad experiences in life, resulting in trust issues. There is nothing more rewarding than 'winning over' an animal and finally seeing they trust you enough to give you a gentle lick on the hand, a cuddle or that look, knowing they are now safe with you. She also loves the challenges of caring for geriatric patients with complex medical conditions requiring regular treatment.
As a result of being the owner of a ginger cat, 'Charlie', and having grown up with a border collie, 'Jack', Alice tends to have a soft spot for any patients who fit this description, but happily looks after any animal who comes into her care.
When not at work, Alice enjoys spending time with her husband, Grant, and two daughters, Emma and Lexie.
