Head of Animal Health
Tuesday 2nd November 2021

At BUDDYPET, we use scientific and medical expertise to harness the full healing powers of our all-natural hemp seed oil.

Dr Ailsa Rutherford is a senior practicing veterinarian, and as our Head of Animal Health she oversees the development of all BUDDYPET products to ensure the optimal efficacy and safety of each one.

Dr Ailsa is a member of the Australia and New Zealand College of Veterinary Surgeons in Emergency and Critical Care Chapter and Veterinary Practitioners Board of NSW.

Like many Vets, Dr Ailsa knew that what she wanted to be from a very young age. Growing up in Yorkshire in the UK, she volunteered at a local vet clinic from the age of 13.

A highly trained and passionate Vet, Dr. Ailsa studied Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge University. After graduating, Dr. Ailsa forged her career in London before moving to Australia in 2011.

Today, Dr Rutherford has fortified her place at the forefront of Veterinary Medicine. She is a believer in integrative medicine for pets and has a special interest in Ultrasonography, Emergency Medicine, and caring for senior pets.

Dr. Ailsa and her husband Michael care for a fur family of five. Three adorable dogs and two mischievous cats who each came to them as rescue animals.
