Vets4Pets Cirencester

I am the Senior Vet and owner of Vets4Pets Cirencester. Since I was little girl I was fascinated by veterinary medicine and as soon as I could, I started helping out, after school, in my local small animal vet practice. There was no doubt that I would study Veterinary Medicine and in 2001 I graduated from University of Veterinary Science, Hannover / Germany. I continued straight away writing my doctoral thesis at the University whilst working passionately in small animal hospitals. in 2009 I married my English husband,who served in the British Army based in Germany, and soon after we moved back to England. Since then I have worked in several different small animal surgeries from Cambridge in the East, to Winchester and on to Poole on the South coast, in line with 2 yearly Army postings. Finally we are able to settle down and I am so happy that I get the chance to fulfil my dream of leading my own vet practice. I absolutely love all aspects of being a vet, my particular areas of interest are ultrasound, internal medicine, behaviour and 'small furries'. At home I am busy helping out on the family farm and changing from small animal vet skills to large animal vet skills. If I have some spare time, I enjoy spending it with my husband, my two young boys and the ‘Eyre-Brook rescue animal menagerie’ containing of three rescue cats Monty, Mowgli and Daenerys, rescue Jackhuahua Dobby, rescue Labrador Otter, Labrador Bear, rescue guinea pigs Woowaa and Winston, ponies Nanili and Frosty and our five chickens. Life is never boring for me!

I started working at Vets4Pets Cirencester in September 2018. This is my first job following graduation from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 2018 but I am very familiar with the practice having done multiple placements here in the last couple of years. I grew up in the Cotswolds countryside surrounded by animals and have always had a special love for cats and dogs and all things small and furry! I have been lucky enough to follow my childhood dream of becoming a veterinary surgeon and am so excited to now be a part of the fantastic team at Vets4Pets Cirencester. I have four cats at home that keep me busy, but a rescue dog is on the cards soon! I have a special interest in internal medicine, dermatology and generally anything cat related!

I qualified in 1987 and started at Vets4Pets Cirencester in May 2015. I love working with cats, especially the 'difficult' ones. I gained over the years a diploma in feline behaviour and due to my involvement in that area I have three wonderful rescue cats, Katie, Shellie and Killer. All of them come with a tail to tell to how to be with me. But to do the dog world justice I have as well a very active Jack Russell Terrier, Madison. She has walked the Ridgeway path with me to raise funds for the Cambridge veterinary university cancer unit. Please come and see me in the nurse clinics, which I really enjoy. I am always on the other end of the phone for you for advise or consult me regarding cat behaviour.

I have been working at Vets4Pets Cirencester since June 2017. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in August 2015 after completing a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing at Hartpury College. Prior to joining Vets4Pets I completed a Level 3 Diploma in Horse Management at Lackham College and I have worked as an equine nurse. I have three horses at home which I love to exercise in my spare time. I also share eight dogs with my partner which keep us very busy. I enjoy walking and training them. My main interests are dog behaviour, puppy socialisation, nurse consults and caring for our hospitalised in-patients.

I started at Vets4Pets Cirencester in October 2018, although I have 3 years veterinary nursing experience from previous practices. I have always had a passion for animals, I especially enjoy caring for them, which is why I love my job. I am currently studying to become a qualified veterinary nurse at Bath College. I have a keen interest in small furries, exotics and dogs in general but my favourite dog breed is Boxers. At home I am currently living with my Boxer puppy Sidney,my mum and her terrier crosses, Ruby and Gizmo. I also have 4 cats, 3 tortoises, 5 guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. Most of which were rescues/strays, including a tortoise and bearded dragon Bruce!! So I have no doubt there will be more over the years of nursing!

I have lived in the Cotswolds most of my life and have been living with my husband in Cirencester for three years. I have two rabbits called Rupurt and Penny. Penny is a Lionhead Cross and Rupurt is a Netherland Dwarf Cross. I am always happy to talk about anything rabbit related with our clients. I have a love of animals which meant this Job suited me perfectly. I love meeting everyone’s pets and getting to know our wonderful clients. In my free time I do many crafts including sewing, make up, button art and bookbinding. I also love spending my free time with my family and friends.​

I have always had a huge passion for animals, making this the ideal career for me! I joined Vets4Pets Cirencester in May 2017, having previously worked for another veterinary practice in Cirencester. At home I currently live with 3 Newfoundland dogs, 2 kitty cats, a leopard tortoise and my daughter who is a veterinary nurse. I expect in the future there will be more animals to come!
