Meet the team

Hi! I'm Jenny and I am the Practice Owner alongside Laura here at Vets4Pets Burscough, and also the head Veterinary Surgeon.
After graduating from the University of Liverpool I spent several years working as a mixed Vet in rural Wales, but then decided to concentrate on small animals.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, our two dogs Louie and Gypsy, and our tabby cat ChilliBonBon!

Hi! I am Melissa, one of the RVN's at Burscough Vets4Pets. I started here in January 2020 and have loved getting to know you all! I am very interested in Behaviour, so am looking forward to gaining further qualifications based around this.
I love spending time at home with my two boys and my partner as a family, going on long walks with our two dogs DeeDee a Pug and Ariel a French Bulldog. We also have a crazy cat called Princess :)

I have worked for Vets4Pets for several years before joining the Burscough team in May 2018. I have a special interest in rabbit nursing and strive to improve the welfare of rabbits via my nursing clinics.
At home I have 2 rabbits, 2 deaf cats and currently 8 hens, some of which are ex battery hens saved through the British Hen Welfare Trust who I also volunteer for. Outside of work, my hobbies include lots of travel, music concerts and collecting exotic poultry breeds. You may also have seen me on the 2018 Vets4Pets advert with my white cat JLo!

Hi, my name is Alice and I am a Veterinary Nurse at Burscough Vets4pets.
I started out working with animals by volunteering in local rescue centres but found my passion looking after animals in the Veterinary world. I did all my Student Veterinary Nurse training here at Burscough Vets4Pets so am delighted to be here full time now I am qualified!
At home I have two border collies called Max and Skye, as well as four crazy cats; Carley, Tigger, Polo and Kit :)

Hi, my name is Lottie and I have been working as a Veterinary Care Assistant since late May 2017, at Burscough Vets4Pets. At college I studied Animal Management at a diploma level and later went on to study both English Literature and Health and Social care. I have since worked in various roles within animal care and I am particularly interested in animal behaviour and evolution. As of September 2019 I have now started my training to become a qualified Veterinary Nurse!
When I'm not working I enjoy reading, crafts, spending time with family and friends, painting, drawing and caring for my herd of animals that include a Shih Tzu - Teddie, Siberian Forest Cat - Tatiana, Ragdoll - Diego, three rescue moggies - Vincent, Pablo and Frida, and a Corn Snake - Florence :)

Hi, my name is Naomi and I am currently a student veterinary nurse at Burscough Vets4pets. I have just finished my first year at Myerscough college and looking forward to returning in September.
I have always had a passion for animals and been brought up around them my whole life. I’ve always wanted to have a career within animal welfare and found I was passionate about nursing when completing voluntary work experience within a practice. I love all aspects of my studies especially laboratory work and orthopaedics. I look forward to qualifying as a veterinary nurse.
At home I love spending time with my fiancée and my son. We are always on a new adventure with our 3 Jack Russells: Roxy, Buddy and Roscoe.

Student Veterinary Nurse

Hi! I'm Laura and I am Practice Owner alongside Jenny here at Burscough Vets4Pets, and also the Practice Manager.
I have a BSc. degree from the University of Chester in Animal Behaviour & Welfare - welfare and rescue being a particular passion of mine.
I have a rescue dog Arthur who you can see with me on my photo, as well as over 30 ex-battery hens, 3 rescue turkeys and around 10 rescue feral cats (who now are definitely not that feral anymore!). I also enjoy helping wildlife where I can, so I am the crazy one of the team who will help injured and poorly wildlife to get them well enough to release back into the wild.
You will continue to see me on reception regularly, I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi, I'm Lucy and I am one of the Veterinary Care Assistants at Burscough Vets4Pets .
I love animals; I am a farmer’s daughter and I have been around all kinds of animals all of my life. I first studied Health and Social Care at Cardinal Newman College, and had a weekend job at Windmill Animal Farm which was an amazing first job! I couldn't imagine my life to be any different. I am hoping to carry on working with animals as long as I can, and hopefully next year will start my training to become a qualified Veterinary Nurse!

Hi my name is Yvonne. I'm always at my happiest when surrounded by animals. I started my working career in a boarding kennels before moving to a Veterinary Surgery. I started my family and chose to have an extended break from my career. I have worked at Burscough Vets4Pets since it opened and I'm thrilled to be back in the environment where I feel I belong.
Outside of work I am the proud owner of Foz my Springer Spaniel, who you may occasionally see sat with me at the reception desk. I am a keen gardener, always trying to create natural habitats for our fantastic wildlife. Now my children have grown up and are at the stage of leaving home I have set myself a challenge of training so I can compete in a half marathon and who knows maybe even go on to do a full marathon!

My name is Abbie, I have worked for Vets4Pets for a number of years. Before working at Vets4Pets I developed much of my experience working in Kennels, handling and owning show dogs and completing an FdSc in Animal Welfare (Nursing).
I devote all of my time at home to my family, my Husband and my two beautiful children Alice and George. We also have two American Cocker Spaniels called Lilly and Autumn who are very much part of the family.
