Meet Bec Hogan

Bec holds a special place in the heart of MRAH — not only was she our very first Senior Nurse, but she also shared the original conversation with Leanne that sparked the creation of the clinic we know and love today.

With a deep passion for animal behaviour and welfare, Bec has been a driving force in shaping the way we care for our patients. She introduced the Stress Free Pets program to MRAH, embedding calm, compassionate, and low-stress handling into every corner of our clinic. 

At home, Bec is just as dedicated to force-free handling with her furry family: Lilo the Whippet,, and Miss Wiggles the kitty cat.
