Kirkcaldy Vets4Pets

I joined Vets4Pets in October 2019. I love looking after people’s pets and keeping them happy and healthy! I have a special interest in small animal oncology. At home I have a lurcher called Magnus. In my spare time I practice Taekwon-Do and enjoy endurance running.

I joined the team at Kirkcaldy in September 2020 after graduating from the RDSVS. Even as a child I've always enjoyed spending time with animals and I'm finding the work as a veterinarian immensely rewarding. I enjoy seeing the myriad of different species brought to our practice and have an interest in soft tissue surgery as well as exotics. 

 

In my spare time I enjoy hillwalking and spending time outdoors with my partner and my rescue greyhound Luigi. 

I joined the team in 2015 as a Veterinary Care Assistant and I am now studying to become a Veterinary Nurse and enjoy many aspects of the job. I love seeing and looking after all your pets when visiting the surgery and I am always there to give our inpatients a little cuddle. My house is ruled by my three cats; Alfie, Jinxy and Sooty. I also have a Border Collie named Aleu who comes to work with me every day. She has the important role of kiss giver, toy tester and food moocher. On my days off I love being outdoorsy; beach walking, hiking and hill climbing and I plan to climb Ben Nevis in 2017. I am also a champion couch potato and love nothing more than watching a season...or two…or three on Netlflix.

Hello, I'm Lauren and in July 2019 I completed my training to become a registered veterinary nurse. I have 15 years' veterinary experience and I also have a Zoology honours degree which has helped me understand the myriad creatures I encounter. I am particularly interested in exotic animals and love interacting with them in practice.
In my spare time I enjoy socialising, from cosplaying at conventions to attending drag performances in Glasgow and Edinburgh. I also delight in motoring, gaming, reading non-fiction and attending classical music concerts when I can.
I have no pets at the moment but, in future, I hope to adopt a dog when I buy a house.

My name is Kelly, I am the Head Veterinary Nurse here at Vets4Pets Kirkcaldy.

I became a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2014 but I have been working in the animal care field since 2000. I joined the Kirkcaldy team as a permanent member of staff in September 2019 after doing some locum work at the practice.

I have a keen interest in surgical nursing, radiography and laboratory diagnostics. I am also a Clinical Coach and currently responsible for training Student Veterinary Nurses here at Vets4Pets Kirkcaldy.

I love all animals but furry felines are definitely my favourite, so much so that I’ve earned the nickname “Crazy Cat Nurse”. I have two Tuxedo cats at home called Foster and Noodles. This year I am hoping to start my “ISFM Certificate in Feline Nursing ” so I can provide the best possible care to our Feline patients.

My claim to fame is appearing in both “More Creatures Great and Small” and “Small Animal Hospital with John Barrowman” but don’t worry I haven’t let the limelight go to my head. In my spare time I am normally studying or completing my CPD but I also enjoy cycling, hill walking and astronomy.

I began with Vets4Pets in 2013,  and joined the Kirkcaldy team in December 2018 as Practice Manager.  I have a particular interest in animal behaviour and am qualified in feline psychology and canine behaviour.  I am kept busy when at home with Leo the golden retriever and Sam our golden lab as well as keeping various fancy breeds of poultry.

I qualified in Kennel, Cattery, Animal Centre Management and had worked within the vet industry before joining Vets4pets Perth when it originally opened in 2013.  After a break I came back in 2017 as Practice Manager and I have recently joined the Vets4Pets Kirkcaldy team. 

For many years I also worked as a Pet Bereavement  Support Worker with the Blue Cross which I feel is a very important part of our care and service as a practice.

Outside of work I spend time with my family including 3 dogs, a cat and an African grey parrot who talks more than I do!

I joined Vets4Pets Kirkcaldy over 2 years ago, I first started as a client care advisor and worked my way up to becoming the head client care advisor. I have always loved animals, particularly dogs as I always grew up with them. My favourite part of my job is meeting all your lovely furry friends and having all the puppy/kitten cuddles. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my other half, family and friends.

I joined Vets4Pets in April 2017 as a weekend receptionist and it is a pleasure to be part of such a friendly, helpful team that I am so happy to now be working here full time. With a background in aquatic and Herpetology husbandry I am enjoying branching out to the furry side of animal care. I have always had a love for animals of all shapes and sizes and hope to be more involved in their care in the future. I am into fitness and fill my spare time running with my dogs and the occasional obstacle course.

I joined Vets4Pets in 2017 as a Vet Care Assistant.  I am currently in my second year studying to be a vet nurse, clinically I enjoy nutrition and radiography.   In my spare time I enjoy aqua exercise and reading about eco lifestyle and healthy eating.  I am a calm and easy going person with a passion for animals and their welfare. I enjoy meeting all our clients and their pets.

I joined the vets4pets team in Kirkcaldy in December 2016 and since then I have gained many new skills and knowledge which helps me in my role as receptionist. I love working alongside all the different pets that come in to see us every day – as I have a strong love for animals. I am also working towards becoming an SQP with the help of the practice. I have two crazy cats named Dougal and Milly who are both treated like babies and are absolutely spoiled. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family and going out with my new camera taking scenic pictures. I also enjoying baking even though I am not very good at it!

I started with Vets4Pets in July 2018.  I love working with animals, cats and dogs especially.  I have two very lazy cats myself and love going on dog walks with my friends.

I recently joined Vets4Pets in December 2019.  I made the transfer from Pets at Home with a view to expanding my pet care knowledge and furthering my career.  I am learning something new everyday and am looking forward to the future with the Kirkcaldy team.

I started my journey at Vets4Pets not so long ago hoping to start a new adventure after spending many years in the Hospitality trade. Well I haven't looked back. The team have been very welcoming and I learn something new on a daily basis. Meeting all the different animals each day is so rewarding and I have realised this is my true passion with having my own pets. I love nothing more than going out on long walks with my two shelties. It doesn't even feel like coming to work as it is such a fun an enjoyable practice to be in.
