Fear Free & Behaviour Led Clinics with Vikki, Practice Owner & Head RVN

With 15 years in practice and a career shaped by behaviour focused, low stress veterinary care, I’m dedicated to making every visit as calm and accessible as possible.
I’m a Fear Free Level 3 Advanced Practitioner, a COAPE trained Dogwise Puppy Behaviour graduate, and a Dogs Trust Dog Friendly Clinic Advocate — all of which support my commitment to protecting each pet’s emotional wellbeing as much as their physical health.
My clinics are designed to help pets feel safe, understood, and supported. By working closely with owners, I tailor each visit to the individual animal, reducing stress and building positive experiences that last well beyond the appointment. My goal is simple: high quality veterinary care without compromising a pet’s psychological wellness.

Read Vikki Foster bio

I’m Vikki, Practice Owner and Head Nurse at Vets for Pets Heanor. With over a decade of nursing experience and further training in behaviour, surgery, and anaesthesia, I’m committed to shaping a clinic where high‑quality care and low‑stress handling come first. Building a supportive, positive environment for pets, clients, and the team is at the heart of everything I do.

My partner and I  have two dogs, Ned a goofy black lab, who will be running our social media pages! and Wren, a springer spaniel with extra springs! both will be regulars at the clinic to provide cuddles and support to the team. 

We also have Kevin and Perry, our two cats, and yes, they are the best of friends, and get up to lots of mischief! 

Adding to the mischief are my 7 guinea pigs, and 10 chickens...  oh, and we have two children!

Hello, I'm Krzysztof! 
I have a strong interest in advanced soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and endocrinology and emergency medicine and surgery. 
I particularly enjoy working through complex medical cases and supporting patients and their owners during urgent or challenging situations. 
I also have a special passion for avian medicine and take great care when treating birds.
Building trusting relationships with clients is very important to me, and I always strive to approach each case with compassion and dedication to animal welfare. 
I work at Heanor Vets for Pets  on a part‑time basis and truly value the time I spend caring for patients while I’m here.

Hi, I'm Annica, one of the RVN's here at Heanor Vets for Pets. 

I love the variety of nursing- from theatre work and monitoring anaesthetics to helping clients understand their pet's care. My focus is always on keeping patients comfortable and making visits as stress free as possible. 

Outside of work, I keep sheep ( including a few characters like Merlot, Hobnob and Twiglet!) and have three dogs, Lola, Bear and Tag, who keep me busy. 

I'm known for being organised, practical and always happy to help, especially on busy days!
