Tammy graduated from Zaragoza Veterinary College in 2000. She started working in a small animal veterinary practice and a zoological park as veterinary assistant that year showing early interest for exotic medicine from the very beginning. She then moved to Alicante (Spain) and has been working ever since as a small animal and exotic veterinary surgeon in different parts of Valencia and Alicante, having always a strong bias to Avian and small mammal medicine and surgery. Between 2008 and 2012, Tammy was requested to give several lectures in Italy and Spain about Bird and small mammal emergency medicine, husbandry, anaesthesia and surgery. In 2013, she moved to the UK and has been working in small animal practices since then. She joined our practice in April 2014.

When she is not at work, Tammy likes socialising, going to the gym and shopping, and goes to Spain every time she can to visit family and friends. She also loves spending time with her family as much as she can, especially her little boy Marcos. Tammy has a Postgraduate diploma in Small animal surgery and Anaesthesia from the University of Barcelona. She´s got two bunnies, Cookie Monster and Elmo who is a giant rabbit. Tammy is currently studying a certificate in Exotic Animal medicine and surgery.

Vanessa graduated as a vet from Nottingham University in 2013 and since then has worked in various small animal practices across the country. She joined Vets4Pets Kings Lynn in December 2020 and has a keen interest in dermatology and small animal internal medicine.

In her spare time, Vanessa can be found treading the boards in local and national theatre productions and she enjoys live music and travelling.

Irina graduated as a small animal vet in Romania in 2013. Since then she has been developing her skills as a small animal veterinarian, especially enjoying soft tissue surgery and all things feline.

She lives at home with her two cats, Kenny and Darwin, and in her free time she enjoys crochet, watching films and cooking delicious Romanian cuisine for her friends.

In his spare time Damian enjoys learning Spanish and travelling.

I qualified as a registered Veterinary Nurse in August 2017.I have been with the Kings Lynn companion care practice since July 2011. I have worked in a few other practices. I am a clinical coach, a surgical nurse, a qualified First-aider and I am currently doing a diploma in feline nursing.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends, seeing movies, going out and generally relaxing at home with my two dogs, two cats and two snakes.

I started with Vets4pets as work experience for my Veterinary Nursing degree and since have become a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

I have a passion for all small animals and also an interest in horses. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with friends and walking my two dogs. At home I have two dogs a Siberian husky and Alaskan malamute. I also own one rabbit and some guinea pigs.  

I started my journey at Vets4Pets as a locum nurse in 2019 and haven't left since.

I qualified as Vet Nurse in March 2001 and especially enjoyed my time working with the large animals. I enjoy consulting and building relationships with clients and patients - particularly with my diabetic clinics that the practice and I have started.

When I am not working as a nurse I am helping my partner on the farm, tractor driving but predominantly in December with turkeys as we run 'Peele's Norfolk Black Turkeys'.

I also enjoy competing my horse Tiffi and clay pigeon shooting.

I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1996 and worked in a mixed hospital at this time. From a very young age I always knew I wanted a veterinary career.

In my second job I had the position of group head nurse and managed 18 nurses over 4 sites. This practice gave me the opportunity to continue my education and I sat the surgical diploma course through the Royal college in London. My passion arose through this course and a colleague, in the dentistry and oral surgery field. I then gained my certificate in dentistry. I continued in my role as group head nurse and worked part time at a referral centre in Surrey seeing second opinion dentistry cases and with this work load gained the knowledge to complete my AVDT American diploma in dentistry and oral surgery.  I then went on to work on dentistry cases along side general nursing and helped train nurses to gain their qualifications. I also helped train new graduate vets to perform dentistry and under took a certificate in feline nursing. 

After more than 25 years in the profession I still have a huge love for it and my chosen fields. I have a gorgeous little old dog who has been used as the trainees training aid many a time in her life and came to me as a rescue, I also have a cheeky ginger cat who is also a rescue.

I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2014. I worked with wildlife for the last few years where I gained a lot of experience working with a range of different species. I enjoy doing nursing consults, wound management and client care.

I have a very cuddly labradoodle called Luna. I enjoy reading books, watching movies, and seeing family and friends.

I started with the team in 2016, since then I have started my veterinary nurse training and hope to be qualified in 2021.

Some of my other interests includes, make-up, travelling and cuddling my kitten Melody.

In memory of Zach: 

Zach joined our team in September 2016 as a Kennel Assistant. Instantly we could see that we was a highly motivated individual with a true passion in caring for animals. This lead Zach onto the path to becoming a Student Veterinary Nurse.

 Sadly Zach passed away in January 2020, which has left a huge void in our practice.

 Zach is greatly missed each day but will forever be in our hearts.

I started at Kings Lynn surgery in September 2012 and became Joint Venture Partner in November 2013. I became sole owner of the business in December 2017. I enjoy the daily challenges of running the practice and love taking care of all the team. I love to make sure the practice has a family feel to it.

I love going to conventions with my children, Ben and Charlotte, and I love to rehome pets that need their forever home. I currently have 1 dog, 3 cats, 11 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs at home. I even have a sign on the house that reads the Clark family zoo. We have recently just rescued a little Romanian dog called Henry who now has his own Facebook page for his travels, his favourite hobby is sleeping.

I started at Vets4Pets in January 2018, I started here as my first job at 16 and have been here ever since, I have made friends in this job and love meeting new people. I am hoping to do more courses to help gain experience and progress. In late 2020 I became a Client Care Advisor.

At home I have many pets – 10 rabbits plus an indoor rabbit called Moana who had to have a surgery to remove her front teeth, 2 guinea pigs, and 3 cats, in 2020 I lost my best friend, my dog Marley who was 11 years old. But we have rescued a little dog from Romania called Henry who we have adopted and are taking care of. All of my pets have different personalities and I have rescued most of them from the vets.

I love going to comic cons with my mum, Julie - who owns the vets - and relaxing at home with my pets watching my favourite shows and movies. I love to travel and have been to a few different countries, on my bucket list I would love to go to Vancouver and New York!

My name is Alex, I have been a receptionist for Vets 4 Pets since changing roles last March (2019) when I was an assistant manager in Pets At Home, when not here I enjoy time spent with my partner Claire and  my children as well as my own pets.

I also have a passion for anything that's nerdy, including the Marvel Universe and technology. I have a passion for photography of all types and have recently set up a photography business of my own to offer event photos, portraits and photos of people with their pets!
