Advanced services

We have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients. We also accept referrals from other practices.

Orthopaedics and fracture repair

Our veterinary team have undertaken advanced training to allow us to perform orthopaedic surgery in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as elbow dysplasia, a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.

Vets4pets Bradford Idle is owned by local vet and mum of two, Tamsin Chance, and run by dedicated Practice Manager Tracy Watson. 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 Ward (Betty) 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 and Francesca Connolly MRCVS are both holders of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Certificate in Small Animal Surgery (CertSAS) and run a dedicated surgical service. They 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.

Florin Palamaru MRCVS qualified 7 years ago and joined the practice last year. He has quickly become an important member of the team who keeps us all laughing! He has referral experience in dermatology but enjoys all aspects of general practice work.

Our extremely popular and friendly practice manager Tracy Watson, 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!
