Carlisle Vets4Pets

My name is Lisa and I am the owner and Veterinary surgeon at Vets4Pets in Carlisle. I have wanted to be a vet as long as I can remember. It has been a lifelong dream of mine, nothing else was ever considered. I qualified as a vet from the Edinburgh Vet School in 2006 and I worked in mixed practice initially before moving on to work in an extremely busy small animal charity hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne for over 3 years. I wanted to open my practice in Carlisle as I love living in the area and we strive to offer a friendly, professional service with exceptional standards of care, to treat every pet as if it were our own. I love my job, it is my hobby not just my work and it always has and always will be an important part of my life. Outside of work socialising with friends and family is always high on the agenda, walking with my husband and dogs, keeping fit, playing and watching rugby and being at home with all my animals.

Currently on maternity leave

My name is Catherine I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse at Carlisle Vets4 Pets. I have been a nurse since 2006 after completing my BSc Honours degree in Veterinary Nursing at Myerscough College. Since qualifying I have worked in both mixed and referral veterinary practices. 

I have also worked for Askham Bryan College at Newton Rigg College teaching Veterinary Nursing. In January 2016 I started working at Carlisle Vets4Pets. My days involve conducting nurse clinics, caring for our patients in the hospital, monitoring anaesthetics and completing insurance forms. I am currently studying for an award in Emergency and critical care and anaesthesia. 

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my little boy and walking our dogs in the Lake District.

Since working at Vets4Pets I have achieved a certificate as a Pet Loss Support and Bereavement Councillor, so I am able to offer support to those clients that need it. I am also responsible for keeping our Facebook page up-to-date with engaging and informative posts. My favourite part of the job is helping to keep pets (and their owners) happy and healthy.
