Vets

Miss Emma Gatenby

Vet and Practice Partner

BVM&S MRCVS

Read Miss Emma Gatenby bio

My name is Emma Gatenby and I qualified from the University of Edinburgh in 2013. I had always known that I wanted to be a vet ever since I could remember and I worked hard to get into vet school as soon as I left my final year of high school. After several years working as a general practitioner in small animal practice I decided to become a Joint Venture Partner with Vets4Pets after having worked at another practice since 2016.

I am currently studying for a certificate in advanced veterinary practice and am very interested in canine and feline medicine. I particularly enjoy endocrinology and gastroenterology as these cases are often challenging and treatment can make a real difference to the lives of the animals and their owners.

I live at home with my bear dog Kobi and my crazy cats, Kai and Damon. I also love reptiles and have 3 snakes.

Chris Gatenby

Practice Partner

Read Chris Gatenby bio

After serving Queen & Country for 26 years as a Senior Supply & Logistics Officer in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, seeing combat in the Falklands Conflict and the first Gulf War, and as a Staff Officer at Portsmouth Naval Base for the last 7 years of my career, I decided to come ashore in 2003, for the quiet life and to spend more time with the family.

Of course life isn't like that and after working as a broadband tech for O2, customer service with the likes of Amazon, Sky and British Gas, as well as owning and operating several businesses, I finally found myself inside the veterinary profession as a complete wide eyed newbie.

Massive learning curve later our practice has now been growing for the last 4 years and I am greatly enjoying this latest part of my life.

The family have always had dogs, usually a wee Yorkie, but we have had a couple of large German Shepherds too in recent years.

No pets in my home currently but I still get to "share" my daughters dog, two cats and three snakes on occasion.
