Rotherham Vets for Pets

Hi, I’m Eric, Vet & Practice owner. I wanted to be a Vet from a very early age and have always loved being around animals. I gained my Veterinary degree at The University of Madrid and very soon after made the UK my permanent home. I have a particular passion for surgery and whilst working as a full time vet in a small animal hospital, I achieved my Certificate in Small Animal Surgery accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. I am also an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in small animal surgery. I have previously run a successful Soft Tissue Referral Service in Doncaster and I’m excited to now offer a range of orthopaedic and soft tissue referral services here in Rotherham and the surrounding areas, as well as being able to provide most of these procedures and associated care to my own clients and patients without the need for referral in many cases.

I am also pleased to be able to offer laparoscopy (keyhole) surgery procedures, from keyhole spays and retained testicle castrations to more advanced laparoscopy assisted surgeries like gastropexies, cystotomies, liver biopsies,..., as this allows for much more delicate tissue handling and magnification (so can see things better) and without the need for much larger incisions/wounds in the abdomen, which leads to reduced pain, less risk of complications, etc...

I am proud to be an approved assessor for the "Respiratory Function Grading" Scheme by The Kennel Club and Cambridge University for Brachycephalic dogs, as I want to help them by trying to stop the 'normalisation' of the common health problems these dear little dogs are forced to endure because of selective breeding for the flattest and widest possible face. Yes, these things are so common that it is rare that a brachycephalic does not suffer one or more inherited defects, but this does not mean we should accept this as being ok. I can assess your dog’s breathing and provide guidance to help him/her to have as healthy and happy life as possible.

I live in Doncaster with my Wife and two young children and Saffy, our Cocker Spaniel. As a pet owner myself, I am passionate about providing the highest standards of care for the animals that I treat and their owners.

Hi everyone! My name is Louise (pictured here with my twin sister's dog Loki who definitely lives up to his name as a master of mischief!) I was born in London and spent the majority of my childhood growing up abroad. I enjoy all aspects of work as a small animal vet but have a particular interest in diagnostic imaging. I qualified from Nottingham Vet School in 2020 and relocated to Rotherham in 2021. Before completing my veterinary degree I studied Human Sciences at UCL in London. During my time at Nottingham I worked with Dogs Trust on a Masters of Research project looking at the impact of the Human-Companion Animal Bond between people and their pets - so I really do understand how pets can play such an important role in our lives and are very much part of the family.

Outside of work I enjoy playing netball, scuba diving as well as running and hiking in the peak district. At home I live with my 3 dogs; Shadow the black Labrador, Hank the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Reia the Turkish Kangal, as well as my other half who fortunately loves animals almost as much as I do! We love nothing more than exploring the outdoors both by land and sea! I look forward to meeting you all soon!

Hi, I am Bruna, a vet from Brazil. Being a vet and helping animals is my passion since I was a child. I know is a cliché but is really true! You always going to see a smile in my face when I am surrounded by animals. I have graduated in 2015 at UNESP - University of the State of Sao Paulo (Julio de Mesquita Filho, number 1 one in Brazil),  Did some courses there over the years in Dermatology and Feline Medicine. Came to the UK about 2 years ago to start a Masters degree at  Manchester Metropolitan University - MSc. Animal Behaviour , completed in 2021.

I am an animal lover with particular interest in Feline Medicine. I am a mum of 4 cats (Teddy, Theo, Tina and Thor) that hopefully after being registered I'll be able to bring here over. I am a believer in everything a good practice of Veterinary Medicine can give to assure the best quality of life for our patients.

Hi, my name is Lucy and I am one of the registered veterinary nurses at Rotherham Vets4Pets. I have loved all animals from a very young age and have always wanted to make a difference to our furry companions; I pride myself on providing the highest standards of care for the animals.

I studied a Bsc Hons Veterinary Nursing Degree at Middlesex University along with my C-SQP qualification. What I love so much about my career is that there is always new knowledge to learn each day!

I would have to say my best friend is my Cockapoo Marley, we enjoy walks together, dressing up in outfits (although he doesn’t enjoy the photo-shoots as much as I do), we enjoy watching films together especially the ones with dogs in! His favourite is Lady and the Tramp! But most importantly we enjoy the treats on film night!

A fun fact about me is that when I was little I had a book full of dog breeds that I always carried around with me and I would point at all the pictures of the ‘doggies’ whilst eating a gingerbread person, they are my favourite!

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I qualified as veterinary nurse in October 2021 from the College Of Animal Welfare after studying for 2 years. My favourite aspect of nursing is theatre practice and providing a gold standard of care to all your beloved furry friends🐾

At home I have a rabbit called Temo who most definitely keeps me on my toes.

Hi, my name is Liv and I’ve recently passed my exams and become a Registered Veterinary Nurse. My favourite part of nursing is being part of improving animal health in terms of inpatient care. As a newly qualified nurse, I am always happy to keep learning new things and progress in my knowledge and experience.

I have my own pets at home including 2 dogs and a rabbit who keep me sane.

In my spare time I like to spend time with family and friends and travel when I’m not buried in books.

Hi I’m Jess, I have been a veterinary care assistants here at Rotherham Vets for Pets and I am starting my Veterinary Nurse training this September. I’ve loved animals from a very young age and I’m so excited to kick-start my long life career in the veterinary world. 

I have two fur buddies, my rescue dog Ozzy from Bosnia who is a lab cross and my tabby cat, Gizmo.

My hobbies include baking, travelling, going out with friends, binge watching new Netflix series’ and exploring new dog walking places. My favourite part of the job is, assisting the nurses with the animals and ensuring they’re at ease and comfortable within their visit. Also, I love that every day is not the same and we get to meet new furry friends everyday

Hi, I’m Chloe and I was a veterinary care assistant at Rotherham Vets4Pets. I loved it so much I decided to train as a Student Veterinary Nurse! I have owned and loved animals all my life and have always wanted to work with them, I’m so lucky to be able to call this my job! 

I have completed my HNC in Animal Management and I loved doing this as we had animals on site, including meerkats, alpacas and even an armadillo! I hope to one day qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

My favourite past times are two polar opposites…either out walking and exploring with my dog Cassie or snuggling in bed with my kitties Abel and Ares (Cassie also likes to join in with the snuggles, she has no aspect of personal space, much to Ares’ despair!)

In my own time I enjoy spending time with my family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🐶 taking Ralph, our cockapoo, to the beach is our favourite thing to do 😊 

Let me introduce you to Bailey, my faithful furry friend of 19 years. 

We used to enjoy long walks in the countryside but in recent times prefer chilling in the sunshine in the garden and taking easy day trips to the coast....we are both getting on a bit

In my spare time (when I do manage to find some..) I enjoy landscape photography and reading a good crime novel.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Eric and the team at vets4pets Rotherham for the last 2 years as practice manager.

There's never a dull day and I get the added bonus of plenty of furry cuddles from our 4 legged friends.

*Since writing this Bailey has sadly passed on but his memory lives on*

I have worked at Vets4Pets Rotherham for 6 years now as the Head Receptionist and now I am Insurance manager. I love the busy surgery and the great team of people I work with!

It is lovely now we can have clients and their pets waiting inside again - so we can interact with all our lovely owners and gorgeous pets!

I have a rescue Lurcher called Sammy who is now 1 year old - he is a sweetheart but is also a handful as he is full of energy and mischief!
