Parking and access information
Parking your car is easy at our surgery. We have parking outside the front on Park Road, or on-site parking at the back.
Advanced services
We have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients, including using Phovia light therapy to promote wound healing. We also accept referrals from other practices.
Orthopaedics
Our veterinary team have undertaken advanced training to allow us to perform orthopaedic surgery in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as elbow dysplasia, a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.
Meet the team
I am the Director of Loughborough Vets4Pets. I qualified from the University of Bristol in 2003 with a degree in Veterinary Medicine and a degree in Zoology. I have worked in a variety of large and small animal practices across Leicestershire since qualifying and worked with cats, dogs, rabbits, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, alpacas, guinea pigs, chinchillas, marmosets and lots of other creatures. I started Loughborough Vets4Pets in 2013 and have greatly enjoyed working with the pets and people of Loughborough. I enjoy being a general practitioner and dealing with all sorts of pets and their different ailments. I do have a specific interest in treating skin and ear problems. And I have recently completed my post graduate surgery certificate and continue to increase my repertoire of complex orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. This means we can offer more solutions for our patients without the need for referral. Working in partnership and transparently with our clients, to identify the best treatment plans and care is very important to me.
I joined the team of Veterinary Surgeons in February 2018. I graduated from University of Nottingham in 2014 . Prior to starting my role at Loughborough Vets4Pets I have had previous small animal experience at other vet practices in the East Midlands. At home, I have a border collie called Beau and a horse named Gamble. My outside interests include going for long walks with Beau, dining out and eventing my horse. My special interest at work is general medicine and what I enjoy most working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is working up cases and the contact with clients.
I graduated from the University of Nottingham in July 2020. I have done several student placements at the Practice, so am already familiar with our processes and protocols and has been getting to know our clients and their pets. As part of my veterinary surgeon training I also completed placements in a variety of settings; first opinion and referral centres, covering small animal, large animal and equine. I like to spend my spare time horse riding, as well as driving carriage horses. And when not on a horse, I also enjoy running. My main interest at work is surgery. And I am also keen to develop my skills in diagnostic imaging and general medicine. I enjoy the varied caseload at Loughborough V4P and working as part of a friendly, motivated team.
Bhavina graduated from Nottingham Vet School in Sept 2023 and has been working at Loughborough Vets4Pets ever since.

Please welcome Shaily to our Veterinary Team, and newest colleague at our Practice. Shaily graduated as a Veterinary Surgeon in July 2023, and has transferred from a Vets4Pets practice down in London.
Shaily's own biography and pic to follow.
I studied veterinary nursing and practice management at Harper Adams University and qualified in 2008, and to date have had 16 years of experience working in veterinary practice. I have a special interest in emergency nursing and have obtained a certificate in emergency and critical care. At home I have a dog called Millie and a cat named Bella (pictured). Outside of work I enjoy making the most of my time with my growing family as well as clay pigeon shooting and cinema trips.
I passed my nurse exams in June 2023 and am now employed at Loughborough as an RVN. I really enjoy inpatient care especially with the small exotics like guinea pigs. I have a degree in zoology and I am very passionate about conservation. I have been known to take home injured wildlife, especially birds, and rehabilitate them. I love to travel which has included volunteering in South Africa with penguins and sea birds. It’s here I met a veterinary nurse that encouraged me into practice. I have a cat called Ned and in my free time I enjoy walking my dog, Oscar.
Laura joined our team as an RVN in October 2023.

Cary's biography to follow
I started at Vets4Pets in August 2021 after finishing a degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare at the Uni of Lincoln. After a year in practice as a Veterinary Care Assistant, I started my veterinary nursing training in September this year at bottle green.
I love all aspects of my job and although I am still learning about my specific interests and specialities, I love spending time looking after our ops patients in the kennels and seeing all the regular clients! I also find lab work very interesting. At home I have a family dog called Luther who is a Hungarian Vizsla who I spend lots of time entertaining! I enjoy travelling, eating out and spending time with family and friends.
I joined Loughborough in January 2024, I am an apprentice veterinary nurse training at Bottle Green college, and I am in my first year. I have worked in the veterinary field for 4 years, starting my career at Fosse Park as a receptionist. I then joined another vets4pets practice as a Veterinary Care Assistant before coming to Loughborough as an apprentice. In my role, I really enjoy interacting with our clients in nurse clinics and caring for their pets (our in-patients) in our hospital.
Out of work I enjoy spending time with my family, and our 4 cats, Loki, Odin, Binx and Pumpkin, going on long walks and holidays!!
I am the Client and Team Care Manager at Loughborough Vets4Pets and was brought on board to support Luke with the non-clinical aspects of running the Practice. I am married to Luke, the Director of the Practice. My role includes quality assurance management, dealing with and reviewing client feedback and complaints, health and safety, looking after the Practice team and dealing with staffing matters such as recruitment, inductions, practice protocols and supporting colleagues in accessing training and development in their roles. What I enjoy most about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is being part of a great Practice team, and having an integral role in finding ways to continuously improve the business. My outside interests include keeping fit, dining out and going for country walks with my family and our new puppy, Drift.
I have been part of the Client Care Team since December 2015 and now lead the team, supporting our newest Client Care Advisors and helping drive improvements in customer service and client care. I also continue to run the provision of our insurance claims recovery service. Outside work I have a dog, Vera, as seen in my pic. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and being part of a dance group. The thing I most enjoy about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is being part of a caring team, and no two days are the same.
I have worked in the veterinary industry for a few years, and joined Loughborough Vets4Pets Client Care Team in August 2021. I have lived in Loughborough for most of my life, and have a degree in BSc Animal Behaviour as I am very passionate about animals. I enjoy working at the Practice and being part of such a great team, of which I am the Mental Health Workplace Responder. Outside of work I have a cat called Smudge who enjoys waking me up in the mornings, and my hobbies include arts and crafts, reading and going on new adventures.
Helen started with the team in November 2023 and is in the process of training as a client care advisor on our reception.
