Vets4Pets Livingston

I am Alison Docherty the lead vet at Vets4Pets Livingston. I joined the practice in May 2010. I graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 1999. I initially worked in mixed practice (beef, sheep and equine) before deciding to specialise in small animals after a few years in a busy West Yorkshire practice. I am now very experienced in all companion animal species with a particular interest in ophthalmology and feline geriatric medicine. I enjoy splitting my time between consulting and operating. In my leisure time I enjoy going to the gym and outdoor pursuits with my husband, two young children and two dogs (and occasionally my cat if he gets bored hunting!)

I graduated from the royal dick school of veterinary studies in Edinburgh in 2014 and I’ve worked all over the UK before finally making my way back to Scotland. In the coming months I’ll be looking to start a certificate in Surgery, so I can then provide a further surgical service to our clients. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and working out.

I graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2013. After graduation, i worked in London and Cambridgeshire, before returning back to Central Scotland, where i worked as a locum before settling in at Livingston. I have an interest in feline medicine and animal behaviour, and am currently undertaking a Masters in Clinical Animal Behaviour through Edinburgh University.

I graduated from Barcelona University about 6 years ago and moved to Bonnie Scotland not long after that. I started working at vets4pets in July 2017 and I am enjoying it very much.

We continue to offer a friendly caring service to all our clients which I am very proud to be a part of. I have a cat called Poppy who is 9 years old. Poppy has a heart condition but shows no worrying signs of at the moment, she stills runs around like a kitten, I also have a two year old granddaughter who keeps me on my toes, I enjoy every minute I spend with her.

I joined Vets4Pets in October 2009. For the first 7 years I worked on reception but since returning last year form maternity, I have been involved more with the administration side of the business. I enjoy working here as not one day is the same. I have two very cuddly cats called Noah & Leon.

I joined Vets4Pets as one of the receptionists in September 2018. My favourite part of the job is being able to meet all the animals and the owners. It is amazing to be able to witness animals getting better and back to themselves by the help of the amazing vets and nurses. I have a cocker spaniel at home called Rudi. He is 5 years old and I love to take him on long walks in my spare time.

I joined vets4pets in January 2011 as a receptionist. My favourite part of my job is meeting and greeting all our clients and their pets. At home I have many pets including 2 dogs called Charlie and Gucci, 1 called toots and a very special little rabbit my wee Sox.

I'm Cerys, one of the receptionist at Vets4Pets Livingston. I started here in December 2017. My favourite part about working Vets4Pets would be getting to know all the animals and their owners. I don't have any pets at the moment, but in the near future I would love to have a cockapoo.

I joined vets4pets as a receptionist in December 2017. Before that I studied animal care at college. I enjoy working at vets4pets because everybody here works their hardest to provide the best care possible for all pets. At home I have many pets who I spend my spare time looking after, these include 4 guinea pigs, 3 dogs a Shetland pony and chickens.

I have worked as a receptionist at Vets4Pets since May 2018 and enjoy meeting all our lovely clients and owners. The best part of my job is getting cuddles from all of our patients, big and small. In my spare time I enjoy taking my two little dogs walks, I have a 6 year old Boston terrier called Darcy and a 4 year old Pug called April who have bundles of energy and keep me on my toes.

I have worked as a receptionist at vets4pets since May 2016. I have a cat called Floki who is very naughty. I work with a great team who are very supportive and fun to be around. In my spare time I enjoy going to rock concerns to see many different bands. 

I started reception in June 2018 and only being here a short while, I am absolutely loving it. I have always seen myself in a job doing something with animals but the opportunity has never arose until now. The best part is seeing all the puppies and kittens. The worst part is the sad moments when beloved pets are being put to sleep. I only have the one dog called Skye who is 11 years young and still very puppy-like. Possibly going to rescue a guinea pig later this year with the persuasion from my colleagues.
