Catterick Garrison Vets4Pets

Hi, I'm Jo, Joint Venture Partner at Catterick Vets4Pets. I qualified from the Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, University of Edinburgh in 1999. I spent my early years as a vet in mixed practice in Stokesley, a small market town in North Yorkshire where I gained masses of experience in all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, from calving cows to operating on chinchillas! I moved into full time small animal work four years ago, and this allowed me to pursue my interests in ultrasonography and small animal cardiology. At home my family pets are a beautiful cat and two little guinea pigs. Eventually I would love to get a border terrier to add to the family. Outside work I like to cook Italian food. I love gardening and try to grow veg that I can use in my favourite recipes. I also enjoy going to the cinema, reading the odd novel, and I have occasionally been seen on my bike! I decided to open Vets4Pets Catterick because I felt that my experience had given me the confidence to strike out on my own, and because I felt that I could provide the people of Catterick with the kind of practice they really need and deserve. It is hugely important to me that we have a "whole family" approach to caring for our pets. I love to engage with children and help them to care for their pets in a responsible way. I have a son myself and my family are my world. As a client you can rest assured that my team and I will treat your pet exactly as we would treat our own! My new team at Catterick are all so motivated to provide exceptional quality veterinary care, and I am so proud to work with all of them.

I graduated from Edinburgh in 1999 along with Joanne Ciarveralla. I worked in a busy mixed practice in a close rural community for 13 years, gaining lots of experience and making lots of good friends, but I found that small animal practice, especially surgery, was where my interests lie. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and a variety of outdoor activities including walking, cycling, riding and caring for my two Exmoor ponies.

I graduated in 2017 from the Royal Veterinary College in London, and have been in small animal practice ever since. After four years in the Lake District I came over to Catterick in September last year. My main interests in practice are surgery, and I plan to begin my surgical certificate later on this year. 

Outside of work I have two dogs who take up most of our free time, Merry the Labrador and Inca the working Cocker. 

Hello I'm Emily, I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2016, within the nursing role my favourite areas are working in theatre being involved with a wide range of surgery and inpatient care. I absolutely love my job and I'm progressing my career further by running nursing clinics and studying anaesthesia, and also by teaching students to become qualified veterinary nurses. Outside of work I enjoy taking my dogs Buster and Rio for long walks in the countryside and spending time with my horse Melvyn.

I am a veterinary nurse here at Catterick and I graduated from university in 2016 with a zoology degree and realising my passion lies within veterinary nursing. I absolutely love the job! At home I have a cat called Molly and when I'm not working I enjoy going on long bike rides.

I joined the team at Catterick in September 2019. I am currently studying Veterinary Nursing at Leeds College of Animal Welfare. At home I have four cats and I love all cats and dogs equally.

After serving in the British Army for 23 years I decided that I would far rather work with animals than people! Fortunately the team at Catterick Vets4Pets took a chance on me and allowed me to learn on the job. I am working alongside a great team of professionals here and you will meet me when you come to the counter. Please be patient with me and stay for a chat. Outside of work I enjoy most sports however I mainly spectate rather than participate since I hit my 40's. I still do a lot of running however, and my wife and I enjoy walking to Richmond for a meal and social drinks. We are the very proud companions of an extremely handsome cat called Duncan.

I have lived in Catterick Garrison for 14 years. I have two lovely cats, Paco, a Maine Coon and Lucy, a domestic shorthair. I worked in the veterinary field years ago and have decided to come back. I absolutely love animals. Outside of work my main interest is raising money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Hi I am Christina Owen and have recently joined vets4pets as a receptionist. I love and adore animals, which means that this job is perfect for me.
