Vets4Pets Warrington Riverside

Dr Alex Campbell. BSc. BVSc MRCVS.

Practice Partner and Head Veterinary Surgeon.

Alex attended Liverpool University where she gained a degree in Pharmacology in 1992. After 1 year of research at the University into tropical diseases and medicines, she attended the veterinary school and qualified in 1998.

In 1999 she moved to the Warrington area and has worked at a variety of 1 st opinion and referral practices throughout the North-West. Before joining Vets4Pets she worked the night shift at one of the busiest emergency clinics in the country. A hugely challenging but rewarding role. Alex brought her vast wealth of experience to the practice when she joined in Sept 2014.

She is keen on all aspects of preventative healthcare and especially the importance of good weight management. She has an interest in long term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, ear and skin diseases, where seeing the same vet on each visit is preferable. She also enjoys looking after the smaller furrier patients and has taken extra courses on treating rabbits, guinea pigs, hamster chinchillas etc. Which is fantastic as the practice has a lot of these guys registered as patients!

Alex also now works closely with Davina Connor our resident veterinary behaviourist, providing support for pets with behavioural and emotional issues;especially VET PHOBIA's where pets are extremely difficult to handle.

When not at the practice, she has a busy family life with 3 children, a rescued Wirehaired Hungarian Vizsla named Flicker, rabbits Munch (Dutch) and Penny (Lop), and 2 rescue guinea pigs called Biscuit and Bread. Her hobbies include walking Flicker, dance classes, Scottish Country Dancing and Salsa and playing squash.

Clare Crook BVSc MRCVS

Veterinary Surgeon

Clare graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2004 with a degree in Veterinary Science. After leaving vet school Clare took a temporary position working for the U.K's biggest veterinary charity in one of their busiest hospitals and was subsequently offered a full time position. Clare worked there for 12 years in total which has given her a multitude of experience in all aspects of veterinary work including surgery, emergency and critical care.

Clare joined the Vets4pets family in February 2017 keen for a new challenge. She has a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and also enjoys the daily challenge of medicine cases. Clare is extremely focused on rabbit welfare, correct husbandry and nutrition and has attended the Rabbit Welfare Association Fund annual conference alongside their training courses.

Clare is married and has her hands full looking after her young twins! They all enjoy visiting the zoo and holidaying in the Lakes. Clare has a cat called Bilbo who came into the practice as a stray and claimed her as his owner! He’s a cheeky chappy who won Clare over by generally pestering her and getting in the way until she gave in and took him home! He loves playing and cuddles.
