Kilmarnock Vets4Pets

I qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2000 and have been working in small animal practices in Ayrshire since then.

I have been a partner at Vets4pets Ayr since 2011 and Irvine since 2017 and now excited to be  a partner in Kilmarnock. I aim to provide an excellent standard of veterinary care to our patients and look forward to meeting you.

I enjoy all aspects of my work but have a particular interest in all types of surgery and rabbit medicine. Outside work I enjoy riding my horse Obi and relaxing at home with my dogs Blue a red collie, Beryl the merle collie, Harry the rescue cat and my ever expanding collection of chickens!

Hi, I'm Caolan! I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2011 and I’ve worked in Scotland since. I worked in mixed practice for three years before deciding to concentrate on small animal practice.

I have a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and I`m In the process of completing a surgical certificate.

I live in South Ayrshire with my Wife, daughter and two small terriers. Outside of work I enjoy hillwalking and mountain biking.

Hello my name is Pamela. I graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2013 and initially started my career in mixed practice. Deciding that I wanted to focus on small animal I moved to Vets4Pets Ayr in 2015 and spent 3 years here. I moved from there to a busy charity hospital in Glasgow for 5 years gaining a huge amount of experience in emergency care and surgery.

I am enjoying being back in first opinion practice where I get to build relationships with clients and their pets. I have a strong interest in soft tissue surgery and emergency care and look forward to using my experience to help pets and their owners at Vets4Pets Kilmarnock.

Hi! I am Lauryn. I graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2023 as have been working across Vets4Pets Ayrshire since then. Throughout my studies I have always had a strong interest in small animal practice. 

Working alongside such an experienced and passionate team here has been an incredible experience thus far, and I am very excited to continue meeting and providing care for the pets and owners of Vets4Pets Ayrshire! 

I originally worked for Vets4Pets in Ayr where I qualified from in 2014.

Since then I have worked at The Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh where I got experience in all areas of the hospital through ICU, surgical/medicine wards and exotics. I have also worked for local veterinary practices carrying out tasks such as monitoring anaesthetics, nurse consultations and patient care.

I then started locum work mostly around Vets4Pets surgeries which gave me a great insight into how each individual surgery works. I really enjoy running nurse clinics as I find them really rewarding and feel like it builds up a really good relationship with both clients and patients. At home I have 3 collies who I love spending time with and taking walks to the river for some fun.

Hello.  I have just recently joined the Vets4Pets Team in Kilmarnock as Clinical Nurse Manager.  I started my Veterinary Nursing Career over 30 years ago. I trained then worked in a local Mixed Practice, University of Glasgow, Small Animal Hospital, one of the very first Vet4Pets practices (in Bramley, Leeds) and for the last 20 years back at the University of Glasgow, Small Animal Hospital where I was Senior Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit.   Along the way I have gained further qualifications which have enhanced my knowledge and love for the job I do. Over the years I have witnessed the progression of Veterinary Medicine and how it has evolved to be able to help our much loved pets who become part of our families. I thoroughly enjoyed my job in the referral hospital but felt it was time to come back into first opinion practice and I am very happy to be part of a Vet4Pets practice again.  I am looking forward to meeting all the Vets4Pets  Kilmarnock clients and their pets.

Hi I’m Megan, one of the Registered Veterinary Nurses.

I started my nursing journey as a student in our Ayr practice in 2019. I qualified in July 2022 from Edinburgh Napier University and remain part of the furniture. I enjoy all aspects of nursing, as no day is the same. However, I have taken an interest in surgical procedures. In 2023 I completed my Schedule 3 Course in Nursing. This means I am able to perform minor surgeries and suture patients.

At home, I have my Staffie Lucy. Lucy was re-homed in 2023 and loves her new family! When not with Lucy or at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and taking part in Young Farmers.

I am really looking forward to my new role in Kilmarnock and meeting all the new pets!

Hi, I am Georgina and I am one of three partners and the practice manager here in Vets4Pets Kilmarnock.

I started at Vets4Pets Ayr in 2013 when I returned to work from maternity leave, prior to this I worked in retail management for nine years before having my son Benjamin.

I currently work across Ayr, Irvine and Kilmarnock and my role is to look after our team of 54 colleagues, we have a wonderful group of colleagues who care passionately for our patients and clients and I am honoured to work alongside them. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and Cocker Spaniel 'Kingsley' (who genuinely is the King of the household)! I also have at home a rescue black cat called Panther who really is the sweetest girl. 

Hi I'm Lorna. I joined the team here at Kilmarnock in February 2015, as an Animal Nursing Assistant. At the end of 2022 I took on the role of Practice Manger but I missed the hands on work with all of your lovely pets so have stepped back to my Nursing Assistant position as of July 2023.

Having been brought up on a farm, I have always been around and worked with animals. I then finished secondary school to work in a mixed practice for 10 years before Joining the Vets4Pets Team.

I find my job very rewarding and I love all aspects of what I do.

When I am not at work I am kept very busy at home with my 10 year old son and my Chocolate Labrador Luna, who loves to strike a pose for our Facebook page. In my spare time (if lucky enough) I enjoy helping my dad out on the farm.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Hello, I'm Carmine!

I first started working with Pets At Home Kilmarnock in 2014 and this is where I met my partner, James.

I was then lucky enough to join the in store Vets4Pets team in 2015 as a Client Care Advisor.

I love my role, meeting new people and their pets, but the best part is that no two days are the same and everyday I learn something new.

I took our cat Loki (pictured with me) home from work in 2017 and since then he has been a fantastic little house cat and welcomed and became best friends with our daughter from the minute we brought her home.

Outwith work I'm normally busy with my family, out on country walks or finding different activities to do.

Hello, I'm Lisa. I recently joined Vets4Pets Kilmarnock as a Client Care Advisor in April, 2022.

I absolutely love animals. I'm over the moon to have started working with them as it has always been my dream to do so. As it is my first time in a veterinary setting it's all new but I am very lucky to be working with such a lovely / supportive team.

Outside work I love spending quality time with my family and friends. I have three kids who keep me on my toes. We have a cat, Amber hamster, Ruby and latest addition our puppy Millie who we love going on adventures with.

I am looking forward to meeting all the lovely clients and their furry babies!

Hi, Im Lynsey, I have been working as a Client Care Advisor since November 2023 and I'm really enjoying it. It combines two things I love, people and animals, although animals are my favourite. 

I live at home with my two Ragdolls Willow and Gizmo and my Maine Coon Luna. I look forward to learning while enjoying my new role and meeting clients and their pets.
