Meet the team
What is your favourite animal and why?
Its impossible to decide between dogs and cats, having one of each I feel I couldn't decide between them! I love how aloof cats can be so you feel privileged when they decide you are worthy of their attention... but I love how dogs love you unconditionally!
What pets do you have and what are their names?
I have a cat called Mango, and a Lurcher called Luke
What's the best pet name that you've ever come across?
Mud the Springer Spaniel
What's the best aspect of working for Vets4Pets Bishopston?

What's the best aspect of working for Vets4pets Bishopston?
All our staff genuinely prioritise welfare over everything else, which is very important to me. It's great being in a small team too, because it means we can all keep up to date with our patients after we've treated them, and hear how they're getting on when they come back in for their boosters.
What is your favourite animal and why?
Cats - as they are independent in a lot of ways but then when they know you are a cat person they give you all the love in the world. In the veterinary industry, some cats can be labelled as nasty and fractious when they are merely terrified and misunderstood. I have learnt a lot about cat behaviour over the years and this has made me love them even more.
