We are open for essential care only
In line with government guidelines, we are only offering medically essential appointments, so please contact the practice team before travelling. Our opening hours may also vary, so please monitor our webpage to keep up to date with the latest information.
We are taking steps to help keep you and our colleagues safe:
- If you do need to visit, we ask that only one person per pet comes along, to help reduce the number of people in the waiting area at any one time.
- Social distancing is crucial at this time. When arriving, you may be required to call ahead and wait to be invited in by a member of our team. You will be informed if this is necessary when you call us to make your appointment.
- Once inside the practice, we ask that you please respect a two metre distance from our colleagues and other clients.
- We are only accepting card payments to help minimise contact between you and our colleagues.
- If you can’t visit the practice and are concerned about your pet’s health, please contact us to discuss available options.
We will continue to share regular updates here and on our Facebook page. We thank you for your patience at this time.

Meet the team
Chris graduated as a Veterinary Surgeon from the University of Bristol in 1999 and has been working as a Veterinary Surgeon in the Bury area since 2001, doing a combination of general practice medicine and surgery, in addition to many years of accident and emergency work at a local out of hours and emergency clinic.
He joined the Bury Vets 4 Pets team in May 2017, and has recently become a partner at the practice. Chris enjoys the broad mix that first opinion small animal medicine and surgery provides, and divides his time at Vets 4 pets between operating and consulting.
When he isn’t working, much of his free time is spent with his wife, and young son Jacob, who manages to keep mum and dad very busy! His Border Collie and 2 cats complete the household!
Michael Dewhurst
Veterinary Surgeon and Joint Venture Partner
BVSc. CertAVP MRCVS
Michael qualified as a vet in 2007 from the University of Liverpool and spent the early part of his career working in mixed and equine practice. Having made the move back to small animal practice, Michael studied for the Royal Collage of Veterinary Surgeons Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice.
He joined the team at Bury Vets4Pets in 2015 and became a partner in 2016. His main interests in veterinary practice are Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Imaging.
Outside of work Michael enjoys spending time with his family who breed Exmoor Ponies; a rare breed native to the South West, Michael has been recognised for his efforts in conservation by being awarded Helen Dashwood Perpetual Cup for outstanding services to the breed and the RBST/Marsh Christian Award for Conservation in Genetic Biodiversity.
Lisa qualified in 2015 as a Veterinary Surgeon from Liverpool University. Prior to this, she graduated from Newcastle University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. From university, she began a career as an equine vet before deciding that the larger scope for diagnostics and more frequent opportunities in surgery lead her to pursue a career in small animals. From here she joined the Bury Vets4Pets team in 2016.
In her free time, Lisa enjoys riding, travelling, or spending time with her lurcher Shindig.
Hi, my name is Francesca, I have been qualified since 2014 and worked in busy practices for 7 years.
My main Veterinary interest is in medical nursing and taking care of hospitalised pets.
I am a registered veterinary nurse at Vets4Pets. I graduated in 2013 following a 4 year BSc (Hons) degree in Veterinary Nursing and have just finished my Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing.
I have 2 Labradors and a Springer spaniel who love to compete in agility, I love to go on long walks in the countryside and also go skiing in my spare time.
I have been working in veterinary practice since 2003 and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2014.
I have a strong interest in feline nursing, I am currently completing the ISFM feline nursing diploma and have two cats of my own.
I have been at the practice since early 2014 and am currently completing the last year of my Veterinary Nursing Degree.
I have recently re-homed a stray kitten called Tabi and I am passionate about animals, wildlife and conservation. In my free time I enjoy walking in the countryside and spending time with my family.
I am the go to girl in the team and here for all. If anyone needs anything, bandages and plasters, medicines, or a cup of tea and hug, then I keep our team well supplied. I also provide a pastoral role, for owners who are preparing to or have lost their beloved pet.
I am passionate about canine communication and behaviour. My husband and I are owned by 2 whippets.
Having been raised around dogs from an early age I grew up with a natural affinity for animals and always love spending time with my own rescue dogs and cats.
I previously worked and continue to be involved with a donkey rescue charity. I also spent time as a volunteer assisting with dog training classes using positive reinforcement training and doing voluntary work here at Vets4Pets before joining the nursing team as a Veterinary Care Assistant.

I joined the practice in February 2018. I have grown up with pets all my life from hamsters to German shepherd’s I love them all but I do have a soft spot ....German shepherds. I currently have Shadow who is 5 and I have been to a number of training classes with him and the hard work definitely pays off, he is my world. Best part about the job is working with the team and being able to help owners with their loved pets.
