Kendal Vets4Pets

Hi, I'm Helen. I grew up in Windermere and did my training around the Lake District. I graduated from Edinburgh University in 2015 and after 2 years in New Zealand returned to Cumbria.

When not at work I enjoy fell walking and looking after my young daughter, golden retriever and rescue cat.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets

Hi I'm Becky. I graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 2014. After several years of mixed practice in the Scottish Highlands I returned to Cumbria.

In my spare time I enjoy the great outdoors with my Labrador Lexi.

I look forward to meeting you and your pet.

Hi I'm Lucy, I joined the practice as Head Nurse in September 2023.

Born and bred in west Cumbria, I now live on the Fylde coast but love commuting back to my home county every day, and meeting all the wonderful patients and clients here in Kendal.

I live with my son and husband, three dogs, two spoiled guinea pigs, and an assortment of fish. Bella, my working cocker spaniel, is disabled and uses a wheelchair for walks - you may see her joining me at work sometimes :)

I relocated to Vets4Pets Kendal after returning from 12 years of living in Australia, working as a nurse there in a busy emergency veterinary hospital. Originally from Cumbria, I have finally readjusted to the change in weather! After three years in the clinical team, I recently changed roles to Practice Manager here at Kendal.

When I'm not at work I like to spend my time running, walking in our beautiful area with my family, and being servant to my two elderly cats, Amber and Scout (who have not yet adjusted to the change in weather!)

Hi. My name is Karen and I have worked for Kendal Vets4Pets alongside our friendly team for over four years now. I love meeting our clients and their pets and love to have a chat too!

I have three dogs, a Romanian Shepherd dog, a West Highland Terrier and a young Lurcher who all keep myself and my partner quite busy!

Looking forward to seeing you all at Kendal Vets4Pets.

My name is Andrea and I am a part time Client Care Advisor here at Kendal. Originally from Liverpool, I first joined the team in October 2018, but left for just under a year between March 2020 and March 2021, during the pandemic. I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to return to work with such a fantastic team. I love my job, it’s interesting, varied, sometimes challenging, but meeting so many genuinely lovely clients and their gorgeous pets is such a pleasure and I enjoy every moment (well almost).

I’ve been married to Chris for 36 years in September, we have two wonderful daughters, two lovely son in laws, two precious grandchildren and by the time you’re reading this, will probably have another, as we have a granddaughter due in May 2022. We moved to Carnforth to help with childcare for our grandson and so when I’m not here, you’ll often find me spending time with the family, which is an absolute blessing, but I’ve not much time for anything else.

Sadly, we don’t have any pets currently, as we don’t feel we have the time, energy or finances to take on such a big responsibility. However, I do love all kinds of animals both domesticated and wild. Historically I’ve owned a number of dogs, a canary, a budgie, two hamsters, a rabbit and tropical fish (not all at once). Since moving to Carnforth I have become increasingly interested in wild birds and love watching a small variety that visit our feeders regularly. We also have annual nesting swifts in our eaves, which is a real privilege as they, along with so many wild birds, are in decline.

Anyway, you and your beloved pet are sure of a warm and friendly welcome when visiting us here at Kendal Vets4Pets.

Originally from Cambridgeshire, I moved to the area with my husband in 2022. I have grown up around the Lake District spending my summers here and felt Cumbria was my home, so we moved here from 4 hours away! We live here with our 6 cats (Raisin, Skittles, Twix, Daffy, Maple & Syrup). I have previously worked in the veterinary industry and love my job and the team here at Kendal are amazing!
