Jonathan's interest in veterinary studies began while he was a student at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he completed his Master of Biochemistry degree in 2006. He went on to complete his fast track veterinary degree at the Royal Veterinary College in London, qualifying in 2010. Jonathan then worked in small animal practice in St Albans and South Wales before moving to Cambridge, working for the Village Vet group for three years, where he met Gloria. Jonathan and Gloria opened Vets4Pets Haverhill in 2017 and Vets4Pets Saffron Walden in 2019 as Joint Venture Partners.
