Hello I'm Sarah and I am a senior nurse here at Birstall. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2018 after spending 10+ years in retail and retail management. I am passionate about nurse consults, so I hope to see some of you and your little ones in the consulting room. I also love dentistry and end of life/bereavement care. My hobbies outside of work consist of walking my gorgeous border collie 'Poppy', painting, photography and paper crafting. I also have 3 cats 'Shabba, Kayla and Craig' and 2 guinea pigs 'Wayne and Garth'.

Hi I’m Olivia. I’m a Registered Veterinary nurse and I qualified in 2016. I have been working here since March 2019. I love all aspects of nursing but my favourites are caring for in-patients and surgical nursing. I have three rescue cats, Jakey who is 18 and has recently been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, Luna who is around 4/5 years old and Dolly who is a naughty tortie! Apart from my love of cats I absolutely adore chihuahuas! Unfortunately we lost our 8 year old chihuahua last year but we are desperate for another one.
I treat every single patient as I would want my own pet to be cared for and I believe all of us do here at Vets4Pets.

Hi, I'm Laura I recently joined the lovely team of Leeds Birstall in April this year (2019) I qualified in 2016 from Myerscough College with a first class honours degree I have a keen interest in surgical nursing particularly orthopedics and I am about to start my Certificate in surgical nursing. In my spare time I enjoy spending my time and walking with my two cockapoos as well as cooking and baking for my family as well as my dogs


Hi, I'm Lauren, also known as Titch. I have been at the practice for 3 years, starting off as work experience, worked my way up to a veterinary care assistant, and now on my first year of training as a veterinary nurse. I love taking care of all your lovely pets that come visit us and being involved in different cases. I love every minute of my job and hopefully spend many more years here! I also love Corgis!

Birstall Vets4Pets is open 24/7 and is run by husband and wife team, Keith and Julie Leonard. Our commitment to patient care led us to be the first practice in Yorkshire to open our Emergency Clinic with no additional charges. Whether it's a Great Dane with a broken leg, or a hamster with a poorly toe we feel all animals should have affordable emergency care available day or night.
Keith’s love of veterinary came from his father who has just retired after 50 years in practice and his three brothers who are all vets and featured in the BBC documentary series VETS IN PRACTICE, in fact the Leonard's have over 140 years combined experience in just one family! Julie's love of animals led to her Zoology degree and PhD in primate conservation, and as a wildlife presenter for the BBC. Julie and Keith met in Africa whilst working for animal charities before returning to the UK. Keith has developed his surgical skill over a long career and was awarded a distinction in his Surgery Certificate, he now takes referrals for both orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery.
We are privileged to have a strong team of experienced vets both day and night, supported by qualified veterinary nurses and administration team who share our passion for providing high quality veterinary care and customer service in our modern, well equipped veterinary practice.
