Dr Samantha Tindal

Veterinary Director

Dr Samantha graduated from the then brand new Adelaide University Vet Degree in 2013. She packed her bags and moved to rural NSW to work in mixed practice for four years. There, she got to see everything from pet dogs and cats to stock and horses, right through to wedge tailed eagles. She returned home to Adelaide to join the Seaton and Findon Veterinary family at the start of 2017.

Dr Samantha enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine and in particular enjoys working with ‘exotic’ pets.

Outside of work she loves camping and scuba diving and looking after her menagerie of animals. She has three dogs: a greyhound called Tinker, a greyhound cross called Az and a borzoi called Nim. She also has lots of exotic pets including snakes, lizards, goannas and frogs, and has previously owned rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, spiny leaf insects and fish.

Dr Krista Gregory

Dr Krista graduated from Flinders University in 2010 with an Extended Major in Biological Sciences, minoring in Zoology. From there, it was certain that she had to further develop her skills in veterinary medicine and went on to complete both Veterinary Bioscience and Doctors of Veterinary Medicine Degrees at the University of Adelaide, graduating in 2016.

Throughout veterinary school and 2 years post-graduation, she worked in a small animal practice in Adelaide before starting at Findon and Seaton Vet.

Graham lives with his fiancée Amanda, and they are expecting a baby girl in the near future. He also lives with a tyrannical feline called Ava, and he’s currently “between dogs”. In his spare time he enjoys camping, hiking, and spending time by, on, or in the sea.

Hi there, my name is Charlee!

SA born and raised, I always knew I wanted a career working with animals. I began my nursing career at the end of 2022 and began working at Seaton and Findon Vets in 2023. Since finishing my studies I have developed a love for surgical nursing.
