Meet Our Team

Dr Anna Manning

Practice Owner

I started Delatite Veterinary Services in August 2011 working from a small tin shed at home and out of the back of the car. Since then I am proud to open and run with a fantastic group of staff a mixed animal practice here in town. I love my job, all my clients are great and Mansfield is now my home.

My veterinary interests are in particular cattle health, bull testing and equine dentistry.

If I am not at work...... I can be found on the netball court, Go Eagles! Or in summer out skiing on the beautiful lake.

My Pets include Husband Rodda, Border Terrier Rosie and Stock Horse Russel! 

Dr Jess Metcalfe

Senior Clinic Veterinarian

My areas of interest are small animal medicine and surgery. I have further training in ultrasonongraphy, radiology, abdominal surgery and pathology.

I have recently worked at a leading specialist emergency and critical care hospital and am passionate about providing top quality care to your pets!

Outside of work, my interests include horse riding and netball. I have lived in Mansfield with my husband since 2012, and we have two dogs, two cats, three horses and a cocakatoo named Bert!

I have been in mixed practise since the end of 2015, having started at Delatite Veterinary Services in June 2017.

Outside the nine-to-five, you'll find me boarding up at Buller in Winter and on the tennis Court in Summer.

Along with my husband and family, I have recently moved from our home on the Mornington Peninsula, where I grew up, to the beautiful Jamieson Valley.

In my 15 years as a veterinary nurse I have gained extensive experience in areas such as specialist surgery, emergency nursing and rehabilitation. After working for an Animal Physiotherapist for 12 months, my passion lies in post-surgical rehabilitation, weight loss and arthritis management.

When not a work I am working on the farm, looking after around 150 head of cattle.

My spare time is spent with my family, swimming, horse-riding, skiing and being taxi for junior cricket in summer and junior footy in winter.

I've grown up on a farm in Merton with cattle and sheep and when I am not working I can usually be found at home riding my horses, or on weekends competing with them in eventing. My pets include Trixie, a jack russel, and my 6 horses, Wally, Princess, Norra, Lilly and Treasure and her foal Billy.
