Hi I'm Becky. I graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 2014. After several years of mixed practice in the Scottish Highlands I returned to Cumbria.

In my spare time I enjoy the great outdoors with my Labrador Lexi.

I look forward to meeting you and your pet.

Hi I'm Lucy, I joined the practice as Head Nurse in September 2023.

Born and bred in west Cumbria, I now live on the Fylde coast but love commuting back to my home county every day, and meeting all the wonderful patients and clients here in Kendal.

I live with my son and husband, two dogs, a cat, two spoiled guinea pigs, and an assortment of fish. Bella, my working cocker spaniel, is disabled and uses a wheelchair for walks - you may see her joining me at work sometimes :)

I joined Vets4Pets in Kendal in January 2024, having relocated to the area from the south where I had worked for my previous practice for 12 years. I achieved my Certificate in Emergency and Critical Care in 2016. I have a keen interest in all things surgical and making sure our feline visitors are happy - I am the Cat Advocate for the practice and recently completed our Cat Friendly Practice Silver Award. My family have two German Shepherds and three cats. In my free time I love to go for walks and spending time with my little boy.

My name is Andrea and I am a part time Client Care Advisor here at Kendal. Originally from Liverpool, I first joined the team in October 2018, but left for just under a year between March 2020 and March 2021, during the pandemic. I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to return to work with such a fantastic team. I love my job, it’s interesting, varied, sometimes challenging, but meeting so many genuinely lovely clients and their gorgeous pets is such a pleasure and I enjoy every moment (well almost).

I’ve am married to Chris and, we have two wonderful daughters, two lovely son in laws and several grandchildren. We moved to Carnforth to help with childcare for our grandson and so when I’m not here, you’ll often find me spending time with the family, which is an absolute blessing, but I’ve not much time for anything else.

Sadly, we don’t have any pets currently, as we don’t feel we have the time, energy or finances to take on such a big responsibility. However, I do love all kinds of animals both domesticated and wild. Historically I’ve owned a number of dogs, a canary, a budgie, two hamsters, a rabbit and tropical fish (not all at once). Since moving to Carnforth I have become increasingly interested in wild birds and love watching a small variety that visit our feeders regularly. We also have annual nesting swifts in our eaves, which is a real privilege as they, along with so many wild birds, are in decline.

Anyway, you and your beloved pet are sure of a warm and friendly welcome when visiting us here at Kendal Vets4Pets.

Client Care Advisor

Hi, I'm Caitlin.  I have worked for Pets at Home and The Groom Room since 2020, and more recently I have also joined the team at Vets4Pets Kendal. I am really happy to be part of the team and to learn about the veterinary side of the business too!  I live locally with my Patterdale Terrier Rollie and outside of my many roles, I have a graphic design business and love paddle boarding.  I look forward to meeting you all, and of course your pets.

At Vets4Pets Kendal we are committed to giving your pets’ great care. Our team of Veterinary Surgeons, Registered Veterinary Nurses and Client Care Advisors are devoted to their work and passionate about pets!

Our practice is located inside the Pets at Home store in the South Lakeland Retail Park. We have plenty of easy parking for you and of course a toy and treat aisle for our brave patients. The practice is fully equipped with 3 consultation rooms, a theatre, separate cat and dog wards, a lab, pharmacy, ultrasound and digital x-ray. We are an accredited Cat Friendly Practice, meaning our feline friends get their own peaceful area of the waiting room, and our staff have undertaken specific training to ensure a stress-free visit for everyone. We are now also able to offer Animal Health Certificates for any pets who wish to accompany their owners abroad on holiday.

We also offer a range of Health Plans that make essential routine treatments more affordable.

Our clients are part of what makes our practice special. We are hugely grateful for all the support and feedback we receive and hope to always live up to each and everyone’s expectations.

We look forward to welcoming new clients and pets to our practice.
