We’re still here for you and your pets

Whilst we are still only open for medically essential and emergency appointments (in line with the government guidelines), if you have any concerns about your pet’s health care needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us, to see how we can help. We now offer a range of services to support you and your pets - such as remote consultations and collection or delivery of some products if your pet is on our Complete Care Health Plan.

If you are visiting us, please note we are taking steps to help keep you and our colleagues safe, so please respect the following social distancing guidelines:

  • 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 at your local practice, you may need to wait outside until a member of the team invites you in.
  • 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 us and are concerned about your pet’s health, please contact us and a member of the team can discuss available options. We will continue to share regular updates here and on our Facebook page. We thank you for the patience at this time.

I was born in County Down, Northern Ireland and grew up on a farm. I studied at the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh and qualified in 1993. Since then, I have worked in mixed practice, pig practice, the veterinary pharmaceutical industry and small animal practice. I have lived in West Yorkshire for over twenty years and can now tell the difference between a Yorkshire accent and a Lancashire one! I enjoy reading, collecting and playing vinyl, watching movies and listening to Mark Kermode.

I have worked at the practice since 2015, initially I worked on reception but then moved into doing my nursing, where I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in October 2018. Previously when I attended college I studied for a BSc in Animal Science. The best part of the job, other than working with an amazing team is the fulfillment and satisfaction I gain from helping an animal that is sick or injured. My personal interests include camping, dancing and my family. I love spending as much time with my little girl, supporting her dancing, swimming and gymnastics. We like going on day trips and Disney DVD duvet days where our cat Marley likes to snuggle up too!

Before this, I studied animal management, worked at an exotic animal rescue, volunteered at a cat sanctuary in Malta and worked as a veterinary care assistant. Nursing is a passion of mine and something I have always aspired to do. Nothing is better than knowing you can make a difference in an animals life! Outside of Vets4Pets my interests include: going shopping, reading and cuddling with my two cats Cozmo and Wanda!

I have been working at Halifax for two years. I absolutely love my job as its such a varied role. A day can consist of cleaning, feeding and monitoring animals to assisting the nurse with anaesthetics, lab work and urinary analysis. I am a huge animal lover and have a varied range of pets, many are rescued. I have a King Charles Spaniel, a young pug, five cats, Bearded dragon, Tortoise, Argentinian Horned frog, Whites Tree frogs, Guinea Pigs, Chickens, two hens and a goldfish! My pets are my hobby along with vegetable growing and wildlife watching, I am also a Brownie Leader in my spare time.

I joined Patrick and the Vets4Pets team in November 2012 after a change career from the MARS Pet Care industry. I have 3 dogs of my own, Lucas-Patterdale mix, Noodle-JRT and Margaret-Yorkie mix. I also foster for Halifax Hedgehogs where we rescue, rehabilitate and re-release wild hedgehogs who are sick/injured/orphaned. I have a Hog-spital in my house and an array of outdoor hutches. I am also a Mum to my two children, Cinnamon and Eric who also keep me very busy. My favourite part of the job would have to be the people I get to work alongside and the clients/patients we get to meet and help along the way. It's such a satisfying feeling to know you may have actually made a difference to the life of a pet and then in turn a client. I am extremely proud of the team I work with, we really are like a little family! In any spare time I get (which isn't much) I love to travel and read.

My name is Julie. I’m the Senior Client Care Advisor at the practice and have worked here since 2013. No day is the same which makes it interesting. I no longer have my own dog but regularly walk my Dad's dog Lucy, being a Border Collie she loves to run! My pet hate is people who don't pick up their dog mess and who mistreat animals.

I am Mum to two girls Stacey and Sally-Jo and Grandma to Cinnamon and Eric. Prior to joining Vets4Pets I worked as a Senior Financial Administrator in a Primary School. I then became a full time Nanny to Cinnamon until she started full time school. I am the proud owner of a naughty Tortie Ginny who is a very sprightly old girl and Willow the cheeky Boston Terrier. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my partner Michael and my family, cooking and gardening. I enjoy drinking fine wine, eating good food and going on holiday to sunny destinations. I find my role at Vets4Pets both rewarding and challenging, no two days are the same. I enjoy meeting new people and their pets, hopefully making their visit to the practice as pleasurable as possible.

I have worked as a receptionist at Halifax Vets4Pets since 2015. I have ridden all my life and until recently bred and showed Welsh breeds of ponies. I have always owned dogs and currently have three, all of which are terriers. I also used to breed and show poultry mainly Pekin and Japanese Bantams. I love being a part of the team here and the best bit is meeting the clients, both the two legged and four legged!
