Vets4Pets York Clifton Moor

After first studying at Bangor and Aberdeen universities, I graduated with a veterinary degree from the University of Cambridge in 1994. I worked in a rural practice in East Yorkshire for several years with pets, horses, farm animals and occasional "exotic" species such as rheas, wallabies and iguanas. I also worked in Lincolnshire briefly before opening my practice here in York. My favourite part of being a vet is being “hands on” with animals in the consulting room or operating theatre which is, thankfully, what I do mostly! Naturally I love all animals, particularly dogs because of their unconditional loyalty. I do not have a dog currently but, with my wife and young son, I have three cats: Lola, who can be seen on my shoulder in the picture, Milos and Tabitha. My favourite famous animal has to be Jerry the mouse (as in Tom & Jerry) because he is determined, innovative and always comes out on top! My spare time these days is divided between desperately trying get on top of the gardening, equally desperately trying to keep up with my son on the tennis court or in the swimming pool, and occasionally getting out on my mountain bike or in a rowing boat.

I graduated from The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in 2004 and after a brief spell in Lincolnshire I have practiced as a vet in Yorkshire since 2005. I enjoy all aspect of small animal practice particularly medicine and ultrasonography and am studying for a Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice through Liverpool University. I am on the committee for the Northern region of the British Small Animal Vet Association. I have a dog called Freddy and a cat called Daisy. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family, and enjoy the great outdoors, open water swimming and cycling and taking part in the odd triathlon, and I also enjoy a spot of gardening.

I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in Spain 2017. I spent one year in a Small Animal Rotating Internship rotating among different services in Spain. I enjoy all veterinary fields, especially internal medicine, emergencies and critical care. I have a dog called Tintin and outside work I enjoy walking the dog, spending time with friends and playing sport.

I qualified as a vet nurse from Berkshire college of agriculture back in 1982. I have 2 cats, "Polo" my small female & "Big Bob" my rescued street cat. Outside of work you will find me rock climbing both locally & further afield, an interest I share with both my partner & son.

I studied for my Veterinary Nursing qualification at The College of Animal Welfare. Currently I have five cats (all strays of varying ages who needed a home) and one Maran chicken. When I'm not at work I am always outdoors, I love gardening at home or on my allotment.I also do loads of walking, cycling and am currently getting back into swimming since my running days are now over :-( I also love kayaking. Music gigs and festivals feature too.

I studied at Leeds College of Animal Welfare. I have 2 pets - Marley (terrier x) & Nina (Jack Russell). In my free time I enjoy walking my dogs, socialising & reading.

I joined the Vets4Pets York Clifton Moor team as practice manager in June 2017. I have a background in retail store and NHS practice management. Our family includes our cat, Pepper, 2 guinea pigs, Cookie & Scruff and 2 gerbils, Dan & Phil. Working at Vets4Pets is great and very unpredictable! Everyday is different.

I started working at Vets4Pets in November 2016 and every day is different. I constantly meet lovely people & lovely animals! I've always had pets myself, ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits & hamsters. I've also looked after ferrets. At the moment I have a welsh terrier called Max & a Syrian hamster called Rosa. When I'm not at work, I enjoy going to the gym & cycling (I'm a qualified fitness instructor & personal trainer), spending time with my family & anything historical.

I have a 7 month old cat called Kafka, looking after him is fun. I’m a huge football fan and follow Leeds United, which has been quite torturous in recent years! In my spare time I like to read and write, as well as watch movies and go on walks.

I've been working for Vets4Pets as a receptionist since January 2017. Originally from Russia, I moved to York in 2002. I love animals and had a Dalmatian called Lia while growing up. One of the perks of my job is to get to meet and greet all kinds of pets. In my spare time I like to play video games. Working at Vets4Pets has made me really appreciate how much vets and nurses do to help poorly and sick animals. I'm really glad to be part of the team.

I have worked for Vets4Pets since September 2017, I really love helping the animals here and being part of the team. I have a cat called Rudy who is a British Blue, I also have a Dachshund called Frank, who is with me in the picture. We like to explore and he loves to dig! I look forward to seeing you in the practice soon :)
