Vets4pets Bradford Idle is owned by local vet and mum of two, Tamsin Chance, and run by dedicated Practice Manager Tracy. Between our team we have over 100 years of clinical experience!
We were actually the first Vets4Pets to open ever, which makes our Head Nurse Liz the longest serving Registered Veterinary Nurse at any Vets4Pets - 20 years this year! - which just shows how great a place to work this is!
Tamsin Chance MRCVS is a holder of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Certificate in Small Animal Surgery (CertSAS) and runs a dedicated surgical service. We also accept referrals from other practices.
Marta Valtorta MRCVS has over 15 years experience and especially enjoys consulting, getting to know the clients and patients very quickly, and she is very popular with clients and patients alike! She is an Official Veterinary Surgeon which means we are lucky enough to have a vet who can issue export certificates.
Our extremely popular and friendly practice manager Tracy is a familiar face having worked at the practice for over 15 years.
Our qualified Registered Veterinary Nurses have a wide range of interests and experience, including a variety of clinics, anaesthesia, wildlife and emergency medicine and surgery. We are also a nursing student training practice.
And not forgetting our amazing front of house team, who keep the practice running smoothly, and who are always smiling no matter how busy the day gets!
Vets4Pets Bradford Idle was originally Vets4Pets Eccleshill, however we relocated in 2017 into our brand new premises inside Pets at Home in March 2017. It is the same great team, with a few new faces!
