About Us

In January 1995 Shane began his vet career at the Raglan vet clinic working with a wide range of animals including cats, dogs, horses, cows, sheep and deer.

The small seaside town of Raglan with its relaxed and friendly atmosphere appealed to Shane and he decided to put down roots there. 24 years on Shane is still employed in the same practice and has become well respected in the township and surrounding rural district for his dedication to and compassion for the animals under his care. Shane remains a mixed practice veterinarian but has a particular interest in dogs and horses.

As well as a strong polo community the Raglan area provides Shane with exposure to many different equine disciplines including eventing, hunting, hacking and stock horses.


Donna Massey - Owner

Donna Massey grew up in an animal loving family with a wide variety of pets. This upbringing led to her brother becoming a vet and her own household containing many four legged friends. More recently she has become very interested in microbial organisms. The two have come together perfectly in the form of EquineCare Probiotics. Donna loves the natural way of healing that beneficial microbes offer. In this day and age of toxins, biocides and antibiotic resistance, having a safe and effective solution is reassuring.

Shane Massey - Vet

After years of frustration in dealing with skin conditions in horses Shane was initially somewhat sceptical when introduced to EquineCare Probiotic by his sister Donna. This scepticism didn't last long as Shane trialled the product with impressive results. Shane now has no hesitation in recommending EquineCare probiotic to any equine client dealing with minor skin abnormalities caused by mudfever, rain scald and various other skin maladies.
