Veterinarian
Jo graduated from the University of Sydney in 1990. In 1993 moved to Blayney to marry local health professional Richard Cheney and joined Blayney Vets -which was at that time just 2 vets and one nurse. From the beginning Jo worked across the species -from the largest of horses and bulls to the smallest of exotics. Over many years Jo has done most of the soft tissue surgery while maintaining her interests in Feline Medicine, Pharmacology and the medicine related to the aging of our pets. Education has been both an interest and a talent – be it work experience students, veterinary nurses or veterinary students. It extends to education of clients to enable them to have the best relationship with their animals that can be had. Its no surprise to see this interest lead Jo into the area of Animal Behaviour .A years study in 2022 led to a certificate in Behaviour Medicine and Jo continues to build on this knowledge. . Jo is now offering in-depth behaviour consultations for dogs and cats. She is active in a variety of community groups, visiting her two now grown-up young men and tending a huge and glorious garden overlooking Blayney. True joy, cuddles and invaluable lessons are gained from rambunctious young dog Wes and aging cat Jorgie.
