Vets4Pets Shrewsbury

Jonathan Benson
BVM&S & MRCVS

Practice Owner and Veterinary Surgeon

My name is Jonathan and I am one of owners of Shrewsbury Vets4Pets. I have been working here since 2007.

I love working at Vets4Pets and getting to know all our patients as well as working with such a friendly, caring team of colleagues. I enjoy the variety of being a vet but I have a special interest in orthopaedics and cardiology.

Outside of work I am kept busy running our small holding with my wife and children. We currently have 5 cats and 2 dogs as well as sheep, cows, pigs and chickens.

I love working for Vets4Pets Shrewsbury because of the great team we have here.

As a veterinary surgeon, I am obviously a big fan of animals! At home, I have lots of pets including:
- A wire haired vizla called Stowford
- Four British blue cats called Angel, Bubbles, Icy and Rupert.
- Two horses called Willow and Misty
As well as numerous Greyface Dartmoor sheep who are all named! I also keep Geese, chickens, ducks & guinea fowl.

My favorite animal is really hard to choose, but I think my absolute favorite has to be dogs. When I was 13 I had a real bond with my friend's Jack Russel, Ivy, and it was a combination of her and my love of all the animals at the riding stables where I spent my weekends and holidays, that made me want to be a vet. I also love cows, sheep, horses, and cats!

At home, I have a cat, GT (short for Ginger Tom), who came into work as an injured stray 6 years ago. I had to amputate his leg but he seems to have forgiven me for that and has been known to catch a rodent or two! He has a purr you can hear in the next room.

I also have a four-year-old whippet, Rupert, who was bred by a nurse I used to work with. He's a joy, and the perfect dog for me! 

The best thing about working for Vets4Pets is the three C's. Lovely Colleagues, Clients, and high standard of Care!

When I'm not at work I enjoy Countryside walks, horse riding and meeting my Veterinary Nursing friends for dog walks.

At home I have a rescue Labrador called Archie and a cat called Saffie. Archie loves having a fuss and meeting up regularly with his pals on walks, whereas Saffie prefers to do her own thing (typical cat).

I enjoy working at Vets4Pets because of the lovely, friendly team and a great work life balance. The team are always happy to help each other and are very welcoming.
My favorite part of my job is anesthesia and theater practice. Having worked in a referral practice for nearly four years; I have experienced many interesting anesthetics such as spinal surgery, MRI scans, laparoscopic spays etc.
I really enjoy anesthesia and looking after your pets whilst there are here with us, and making sure they have the best possible recovery.

 I am currently studying for my Emergency and Critical Care Certificate. Although we do not regularly see genuine emergencies every day in practice I am hoping to extend my knowledge and understanding of small animal emergency and critical care nursing.

My favourite animals are cats. I love how they are independent, mischievous but very loving.

I have three cats: Willow who is a typical naughty torti, Salem who is a laid back ball of fluff and Oliver who is a very mischievous kitten I adopted from my old practice. I also have a very opinionated standard-bred horse called Grace.

In my spare time I love relaxing and spending time with my horse and getting her out into the fields for a spin.

The best thing about working for vets4pets is the amazing team. Everyone is incredibly supportive and caring and everyone has a genuine love for the animals we take care of. I am very excited to start my RVN training in Sep with such an amazing team.

My favorite animal is a dog! I have two at home and they always know how to make me smile. However, I do love horses too. I used to ride every weekend when I was younger.

At home, I have a Labrador called Charlie and a Springer Spaniel called Alfie.

I enjoy working for Vets4Pets because of the friendly team and meeting lovely pets and their owners.
