Read Daniel Preece bio

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2012. I worked in multiple referral and first opinion veterinary hospitals across the UK prior to taking the next big step into practice ownership. Since opening Abingdon Vets for Pets in 2016 have opened further practices in Oxford and Newbury and I’m extremely proud of the teams across all three sites.

I split my time between each of the three practices and my clinical areas of interest are intensive care, acute medicine and soft tissue surgery, although I enjoy all aspects of veterinary practice. I have further qualifications in Small Animal Medicine and hold RVCS Advanced Practitioner status. I’m passionate about teaching and we run very successful training programmes for both vets and nurses and believe in developing the next generation of supervets!

Outside of work my two young boys keep me on my toes, while my four dogs run me ragged!

I became a registered veterinary nurse in 2019 and have been with the practice on and off since 2017. As a student doing my placements for university, I loved the team and the clients and patients so much that I never left. In my job I love to look after my patients as if they are my own. I'm always happy to give them a cuddle. I have keen interests in exotics, anaesthesia and diagnostic imaging. Outside work I have an interest in baking, gardening and keeping active. At home I have Rosie my crazy springer spaniel and Dusty my very vocal siamese.

I joined Vets for Pets in July 2022 as a student veterinary nurse for a placement year for my veterinary nursing degree. Once I completed my 1800 hours and NPL I stayed with the team and became a Veterinary Care Assistant and between my University terms I came back to work, so you may have seen me here and there! 

I have since rejoined the team as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in August 2025 after graduating from Hartpury University with a First Class BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Nursing. I have a keen interest in anaesthesia and exotic animals, mainly guinea pigs and rabbits, especially after focusing my dissertation on their anaesthesia. 

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family going on hikes, swimming, and travelling.

I joined the Abingdon and Oxford Vets for Pets team in December 2023 as a veterinary care assistant, I have always loved animals and have dreamed of working in a veterinary practice. I am now a student veterinary nurse and I started my vet nursing course in September 2025. I am really enjoying it so far and will hopefully be a qualified nurse by the end of 2027!

At home I have 2 naughty sausage dogs called Frankie and Rocco. They get very spoilt by everyone in the family but they’re just too cute to say no to sometimes!
In my spare time I love traveling, going on dog walks, keeping fit and socialising with my friends and family.

I joined the Abingdon and Oxford Vets for Pets team in December 2023 as a receptionist. I’ve always had a passion for animals so working here is perfect.

At home I have two cavaliers called Poppy and Elsi, two very spoilt guinea pigs called Lemon and Herbie (named after my favourite Nandos seasoning), a little syrian hamster called Sully and my sisters cat Poncho. They are all very spoilt and sometimes it feels like we live in a zoo!

My interests outside of work include designing tattoos, collecting jellycats, walking my dogs and going on holidays especially near the beach!

I joined the Vets for Pets team as a receptionist in June 2021, I've always loved animals and wanted to work with them from a very young age so working at a vets is perfect! I especially wanted to work with the team here as they always looked after my animals prior to this and even saved my cat Barry's life when he had to have an emergency operation to have his eye removed.
 
I'm lucky enough to have six cats and a dog in my house so I'm always surrounded by animals either at home or work. Outside of work I enjoy gaming with friends and crafting. I tend to switch around my hobbies a lot so I'm always doing something interesting!

I joined the Vets for Pets team as a receptionist in August 2023, I’ve always been an animal lover so working at a vet practice is the perfect place for me! I treat every animal that comes in as if they’re my own, as they all deserve so much love and care. Plus as an added bonus, I get to have lots of cuddles!

I have two mischievous dogs at home who I rescued from Romania called Finn and Dinky. I love their cheeky personalities and wouldn’t change them for the world, although every day after work they have to sniff my clothes so they can smell all the animals I’ve said hello to! (Very annoying).

Away from work I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks and socialising with friends. My dream is to be able to travel more and one day experience an African safari.
