Keighley Vets4Pets

Growing up in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, I’ve always fostered a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. I went to school in Skipton and subsequently on to study Veterinary Medicine and Science, graduating from the University of Liverpool in 2017. I moved back to Yorkshire, initially working in a busy small animal hospital before joining the Keighley Vets4Pets team in April 2020. I have a strong interest in internal medicine, diagnostic imaging and general surgery. In my spare time I love to be outdoors. I'm a keen cyclist and also enjoy climbing mountains with my Viszla, Ernest, leading the way!

Following my interest in the sciences and family pets I qualified from the Glasgow University Veterinary School in 1999. After spending a few years in Newport Pagnell, I returned to the North in 2004 working in small animal practice in Lancashire. I have been with the Keighley Vets4Pets team from the day it opened in July 2013. I enjoy seeing all different types of pets when they are well and helping them if they are poorly as an all-round small animal general practitioner. I normally work Mondays and Tuesdays plus some weekends.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2006 and after working in the Midlands for a couple of years I moved to Yorkshire and met my partner. I have been part of the team since 2017 after returning from maternity leave. I have a particular interest in Internal medicine especially Feline medicine but enjoy the variety that general practice brings. I can be found at the surgery on Wednesdays and Thursdays while the rest of my week I spend with my son & daughter, boxer dog and one-eyed cat. 

I'm Laura, I joined Keighley Vets4Pets in December 2015 as an apprentice, and became a Registered Veterinary Nurse after studying at the College of Animal Welfare in Leeds. I previously spent 5 years working in the horse racing industry, gaining a Level 3 Diploma in racehorse care. I'm now a clinical coach, mentoring our student veterinary nurses and veterinary care assistants through their qualifications. At home I have 2 guinea pigs. When I’m not studying I enjoy the outdoors, travelling, cooking and spending time with my friends and family. Favourite Animal: Guinea Pig

Hello, I’m Chelsea and I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2021. I've completed further training in physiotherapy for pets and am enjoying offering this additional service to our patients. I adore Scotties and Cockapoos. I live near Leeds and love to go on walks, spend time with my family and my partner. I enjoy music, gigs and festivals. Working for Vets4Pets has been brilliant, and I look forward to gaining more knowledge and getting to know new people.

I enjoy consultations and getting to know the families as well as their pets.

I have a Flat-Coat Retriever that I enjoy walking and socialising with.
