Lytham Vets4Pets

I graduated from the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2006 and since then have been working in the field of sales and distribution of veterinary pharmaceutical products & medical equipment and also in small animal veterinary practice. I started working at Vets4Pets in June 2015 and I enjoy being part of the team every day since.

I have an interest in small animal internal medicine, ultrasound examination and soft tissue surgery. When I am not at the clinic I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, doing outdoor activities and also I like to travel to see different places, reading or watching movies for entertainment.

What is your favourite animal and why? 
Cats, I love their independent nature and how they know how to get what they want from you! 

What pets do you have and what are their names? 
I have 4 dogs and 9 cats, so too many names to list on here, but Mr Big and Black Tulip are a couple of them 

What's the best pet name that you've ever come across? 
Prince Oscar Harland 

What is your favourite famous animal?

What's the best aspect of working for Vets4Pets? 
Helping owners to keep their pets healthy and happy

Good day! My name is Michelle, I'm Senior Nurse at Lytham Vets4Pets (when I say senior, don't be thinking I'm old though, as I'm only 21! Give or take a few years) I am one of the original Lytham ladies as I have been here since day dot.

The gorgeous black Labrador in the photo is of my princess Lucky who some of you may have seen when visiting the practice as she supervises me at work and keeps... us all in check. She does have two partners in crime at home in the shape of a white cat called Barry and a ginger cat called Kevin. Barry and Kevin, along with Lucky, enjoy eating and sleeping. As food is a hobby for all of my pets they have taught me a lot about weight management which in turn I have used to help other pets. Aside from weight management, my other areas of interest are anaesthesia, pain management and dentistry.

When I'm not hidden away in my consult room, I can be found in wellies tending the other man in my life, my blonde horse Jester.

Hello, I am one of the Veterinary Nurses here at Lytham Vets4Pets. I had already worked in the veterinary industry for five years prior to venturing out on my degree, so I already knew that this was the career for me! I have always had such a strong love (obsession) for animals, having grown up surrounded by dogs, rabbits, poultry and even a couple of piglets! I currently own just one dog, Sully and one rabbit, called Prim who keep me busy enough all by themselves. On my days off I love to go on long country walks, which Sully is less keen on with his little Bichon Frise legs! I am loving my time here working as part of this wonderful team and enjoy getting to meet all of the amazing clients and their pets!

I joined Preston Vets4Pets Ltd during our opening month of March 2009 whilst I was still teaching full-time (Performing Arts in case you couldn't already tell)! Having being invited by Andrew to take on the role as Practice Manager, I joined the team without hesitation hungry to take on a new challenge and to be closer to the shops! My background is highly varied and I've probably had every job you could think of during my "resting actor" days; based on those experiences I witnessed some diabolical examples of customer service and I always swore to deliver nothing but exceptional customer care. Our priority here at Lytham Vets4Pets is to make every visit as stress-free and as pleasant as the last and if you ever feel we fall below this standard then please contact me on my personal email at james.rogerson@vets4pets.com When I'm blessed with a day off, I can often be found stroking, feeding, cleaning and stroking my 1 cats a bit more, playing bingo with the Mother or taking myself off to the latest musical (if not starring in it). I look forward to my next chat with you at reception over a brew - and if you fancy bringing me something a little special, I've taken an extra fancy to Spicy Teriyaki Deli Chips from the Booths store in Penwortham! Chow for now.

Hi, I'm Beccy, the practice manager here at Lytham. I have worked for Vets4pets since September 2019 following 10 years in management with Pets At Home. When the opportunity arose to join the team at Lytham I absolutely jumped at the chance!!

My whole world and biggest love is Django, my big slobbery newfie and so therefore most of my spare time is spent grooming and cleaning. I look forward to meeting all our wonderful clients and their beloved pets and if I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi, My name's Claudia-Rose and I've been a client care advisor since August 2019! I have a cat called Gandalf (who is very special as he has wobbly cat syndrome!) and 3 snakes Sméagol (who was the resident clinics snake until I took him to live with me), Smaug and Lurtz. I've always loved working with animals, I studied animal management at college and then went on to do my degree in zoo management. I have travelled to Thailand and studied elephant behaviour and I travelled to the Amazon rainforest! I love meeting you and your pets and giving them lots of attention and cuddles! See you soon!

I have worked as a receptionist/veterinary care assistant at Lytham Vets4Pets since January 2014. It's one of the best jobs I have had as I get to meet lots of lovely pets and their owners.

I have a Rottweiler called Roxy and a Rottweiler x German Shepherd called Jazz. They are both 9 years old. I also have 2 black cats called Abraham and Lincoln. I got them from Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary as kittens because nobody wanted them as they were black. All dogs and cats get on brilliantly together.

I get up at 5.am to take the dogs for a good long walk (sometimes a run if I’m feeling energetic!) before I come to work. On my days off I take the dogs further as I have some nice country walks where I live. If the cows or sheep are in the field our walk will take a long time as Roxy is obsessed with them, and will sit at the gate to their field until they come to say hello. And they always do eventually!

I have 2 lovely grandsons who I try and see as much as I can, and enjoy going out with friends. I have friends who have horses that I try and see as much as I can, as I used to work in various horse competition yards and have had many horses myself (and donkeys!).

Working here at Lytham is like having an extended family. I love coming to work, and often joke that if I didn't have the animals at home I would probably live here!​
