Irvine Vets4Pets

I qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2000 and have been working in small animal practices in Ayrshire since then. I have been a partner at Vets4pets Ayr since 2011 and am excited to be part of the new surgery in Irvine. I aim to provide an excellent standard of veterinary care to our patients and look forward to meeting you. I enjoy all aspects of my work but have a particular interest in all types of surgery and rabbit medicine. Outside work I enjoy riding my horse Obi and relaxing at home with my dogs Blue a red collie, Beryl the merle collie, Harry the rescue cat and my ever expanding collection of chickens!

I qualified from Glasgow University in 2015 and started working in Ireland shortly after. I have just returned home to Ayrshire after spending 2 years in Northern Ireland working in mixed practice. Although I loved working in mixed practice my passion lies with small animals so I am looking forward to being able to focus my time on both medicine and surgery cases.

At home I have a dog Tillie who I rescued from a local charity a few years ago.

I am excited to be back home and cannot wait to meet all our clients.

I'm a new graduate vet surgeon from Spain. I moved to Scotland permanently in August and started to work for Vets4Pets Irvine and Ayr in January.

 

I'm very excited to be part of this awesome team of professionals and to be able to take care of your lovely furry friends!

 

I have 4 crazy cockatiels at home that get most of my off-work time and attention. When I'm not with them, I love driving around and visiting villages and parks in the beautiful Scottish countryside.

 

Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

I graduated from Glasgow uni in 2018 and started working in Stranraer soon after. I've recently moved home to Ayrshire and joined the team at Vets4Pets.

Outside of work I enjoy catching up with my friends and walking my dog, Gus

I originally worked for Vets4Pets in Ayr where I qualified from in 2014. Since then I have worked at The Royal Dick School of Veterinary Medicine in Edinburgh where I got experience in all areas of the hospital through ICU, surgical/medicine wards and exotics. I have also worked for local veterinary practices carrying out tasks such as monitoring anaesthetics, nurse consultations and patient care. I then started locum work mostly around Vets4Pets surgeries which gave me a great insight into how each individual surgery works. I really enjoy running nurse clinics as I find them really rewarding and feel like it builds up a really good relationship with both clients and patients. At home I have 3 collies who I love spending time with and taking walks to the river for some fun.

Hi, my name is Grace and I’m one of the registered veterinary nurses here at Vets4Pets Irvine. I started here in practice several years ago on work experience at school, and was able to follow my passion in helping to care for animals when I trained here to be a veterinary nurse, and qualified in November 2018.

I love all aspects of my work, as each day brings many different patients to care for, but I do have particular interests in anaesthesia and radiography.

I have recently adopted my little lunatic Luna from our local Cats Protection, so I spend most of my free time keeping her entertained. I also love to take my family German Shepherds Sascha and Kaiser out for a run around.

Hi I am Georgina, I've been practice manager at Vets4Pets in Ayr for three years and I am excited to now be part of the Irvine team. Prior to joining Vets4pets Ayr I spent nine years in retail management and feel very lucky to be able to combine my skills with my passion for animals. Being in practice is challenging yet rewarding and no day is the same. I can often be found in our reception area stealing cuddles from our patients. I enjoy meeting and greeting our clients and patients daily. At home I have a 4 year old Son Benjamin and a Ragdoll x Cat called Mr Boo, who I spend a lot of my spare time brushing! I am looking forward to meeting all our new clients and patients in Irvine.

I started at Vets4Pets in Ayr in 2015. Since starting with Vets4Pets I have qualified as an Animal Care Assistant. I am very excited and feel very privileged to now be a part of the Irvine team. I am the community champion, with this position I work closely with the public, helping with fundraising ...and working along with schools educating children on animal welfare and career options. I have previous experience of 4 years working in a small animal practice as well as emergency work. I find my job very rewarding and love all aspects of what I do. 

At home I have 3 pets, Mollie who is a Cavalier king Charles, she is 5, we enjoy lovely walks and cuddles, Poppy who is a 2 year old blue point tabby cross. I also have 2 rabbits called Bounty and Twix who are both just 1 year old and have been neutered. 

Hi, I’m Kallie. I joined the team in Irvine in April 2018 but started with Vets4Pets Ayr a year prior to this. Before joining Vets4Pets I worked in hospitality for a few years and have found many benefits in combining my people skills with my love of animals!

Outside of work I spend most of my time with my friends and family, or looking after my brother’s 2 dogs Poppy and Daisy, as I don’t have any pets of my own.

Hi my name is Elaine. I have been in the veterinary profession for 12 years. I joined Vets4Pets Irvine in 2018 and I am enjoying learning on a daily basis, and meeting all of your furry friends at reception!

At home I have a Border Collie named Louis who is full of character, a crazy Merle Collie called Leta, 2 Ragdolls, Kaci and Kara and a Maine Coon called Kairo. 

I’m Niamh, I have recently started in Vets4Pets as a client care representative. Previous to working in the practice I worked in retail management, I am grateful to be in a job where I can combine my passion for animals with my skills I’ve developed in previous roles. At home I have 3 dogs; my 5 year old whippet Flynn, my 2 year old whippet Ivy and my little 1 year old Italian greyhound Perrie, who only has 3 legs! I also have a Syrian hamster named Nigel, he is black & white and loves his carrot treats!​

Hi, my name is Natalie and I joined the Vets4Pets team in October 2020, working between Ayr and Irvine. I love working here at reception, greeting all of your lovely pets and stealing some cuddles.

In the future I would love to learn more about the care of animals and hopefully become either a Veterinary Care Assistant or a Vet Nurse.

At home I have a border collie called Lily, who is very adventurous and loves to go hiking with me and my family. I also have 2 guinea pigs called Winston and Scruffy who love to chase Lily.
