Eastleigh Vets4Pets

Since graduating from Bristol Vet school in 2008, I quickly found my calling working in small animal practices. Based mainly in Bournemouth, I progressed to become the senior vet in charge of a busy RCVS and ISFM Gold standard surgery, also spending time handling emergency and critical care. I thrive in the high pressure environment of an out-of-hours clinic and believe that there is no better feeling than using my medical and surgical skills to save a life. I enjoy the variety that general practice brings and the chance to really get to know my patients and their owners. Away from work I live with my wife Sarah, also a vet, and son Riley. I spend my spare time getting thrown around the judo mat, pretending I can play golf or dabbling up to my elbows in my fish tank. When it all becomes too much, we escape on a nice long walk in the forest with labs Mia and Mila, often with cat Oreo in hot pursuit!

I started working here in September 2018, after finishing and internship at a different practice. I specially enjoy working with small furries and learning new things about more unusual pets, as reptiles or birds. In my free time I enjoy drawing and trekking.

Since graduating from Bristol Vet school in 2009 I’ve worked in both first opinion small animal practice and out of hours emergency care. I joined Mark and the team in 2014. My favourite areas in work are gastrointestinal surgery and those tricky allergic patients (our own cat Ori is one of those!).

Out of work I’m kept pretty busy with our children Riley, Archer and Daisy. In my free time (when I’m not looking after the children) I like to go to our local gym, walk our lovely doggies Mia and Myla and if time allows settling down with a good book.

I began my veterinary nursing career in 1999 at a local practice. I have worked with a large variety of species including farm, equine and zoo species (due to my previous life as a keeper at Marwell Zoo). At home I have two rescue cats called Freddy Kruegar and Luna Mooncat, 5 chickens, 2 guinea pigs, a tortoise, a snake and a hamster, as well as any waifs and strays I bring home from work. I enjoy all aspects of my job, but particularly enjoy dealing with aggression and behavioural issues.

I have been here since 2016 and I have now become deputy head nurse. I have also training one of our student nurses as I have also taken the role of a clinical coach. I enjoy working with all animals and have wanted to be a nurse since I was young.

I have been working for vets 4 pets since august 2018 starting off as a veterinary care assistant I have now progressed to student nurse which I am really enjoying. At home I have a supportive husband, two wonderful children and a very friendly ginger cat called Amber.

After starting here as a part time receptionist in May 2017 I have gradually progressed to full time head receptionist. Having never thought I would have a ‘behind a desk job’ I love working here. We have a great team and lovely clients. I have always been around animals growing up with dogs and I now have my own lovely, crazy collie called Pip.

Hi my name is Vicky and I have the pleasure of working for Vets4Pets. A dream Job! I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Since having my three daughters and working part-time we now have 16 pets at home consisting of 4 dogs, cat, degus, conures (parrots), chinchillas, and fish. Most were unwanted and needing a home. Hard-work it may be, but very rewarding at the same time and I wouldn’t have it any other way! So now I have the best of both worlds, I get to meet and cuddle your faithful friends and then go home to cuddle mine!

I started working for Vets4Pets back in December 2018 after working 8 years for Pets at Home. Since I started working here I have enjoyed every minute. It’s a very rewarding job getting to spend my working day around animals all day and speaking with their owners. I live with My Husband and 3 children and our 2 dogs Nala + Keith as well as the cat called Oreo.

I started working here May 2019 after working for a one and a half years at pets at home. I’ve always wanted to work with animals making this a dream job. I have a ginger tom at home called Marmalade and a rescue cat called Panda, as well as a family dog called Ellie.

I started working for Vets4Pets in July 2019. Having grown up with dogs, reptiles and cats, it is now a joy to be meeting all of our clients and owners.

At the end of my working day I have the pleasure of returning home to my partner, son, 4 cats, 2 rats and a tropical fish tank.

I started off at vets4pets as a volunteer spending my time on Saturdays shadowing vets and nurses in their various consults, and am now a receptionist here. As I hope to become a vet, I love devoting my time to animals and their care. I spend most of my time with my gorgeous collie Storm. I love to paint and just be outdoors.
