Hi, I’m Bronte—a veterinarian with over 7 years of experience and the founder of Mate for Life.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets, I felt a natural connection to them, which led me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Over the years, I’ve worked in general practice, emergency care, and animal shelters, treating pets at their best and supporting them through their most vulnerable moments.

But through my work, I also saw the challenges pet owners face—misunderstandings, mismatches, and the heartbreak of unprepared or overwhelmed owners. I realized that while love is essential, preparation and understanding are just as important for building a lifelong bond with a pet.

That’s why I created Mate for Life. I wanted to bridge the gap between love and preparation, helping pet owners feel confident and supported every step of the way. Whether you’re welcoming a new pet into your life or looking for guidance with your current companion, I’m here to help you create a happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationship with your furry friend.

Fun Fact: When I’m not working, you’ll find me paddle boarding with my rescue dogs or curled up with my two cats, Hazel and Daisy.
