Middleton Vets4Pets

I am the Joint Venture Partner and a Veterinary Surgeon here at the Middleton practice. Since opening the practice in 2014 I have enjoyed watching it grow into a great place to work, with many wonderful clients I graduated in 2009 and I started work as a vet in small animal practices. My journey with Vets4pets started in 2011 and I knew then I wanted to become a Joint Venture Partner. Running my own practice brings many challenges but the best part of being a partner is being able to run the practice with the support that I need which still enables me to focus on the clinical side and care of my patients. Overall, I think I am very lucky. I’m doing a job that I love, treating small animals with gentle, safe and effective therapies. I meet amazing, caring and inspiring people every day; people profoundly concerned for the welfare of the animal members of their families. Outside of work I am always researching and keeping up to date on what is new in Veterinary Medicine. I have a Japanese Akita called Hatchi and we love going for walks together. I also enjoy reading and love a good story.

I have always had a love for all animals and find that veterinary nursing fulfils all my ideals in a job. I love working in a caring team that puts animal welfare first. Nursing is a challenging job, but I enjoy the varied days and seeing all the cute patients grow.

As Head nurse I enjoy teaching students with the same care and passion for the job as I have. I like seeing them become great nurses and progress in their training.

At home I am active and have my own animals to keep me busy including a toddler! Walking, swimming and roller skating is a fun past time as well as fitting in seeing my friends and family. When I do get to sit down it will usually be at a sewing machine dabbling in bag making. 

In the future i hope to continue to progress my knowledge and keep on improving the care I can provide for the patients.

From the early age when people ask “What do you want to be when you’re older?” I have always said "I’ve wanted to work with animals in a vets". I’ve worked towards being a vet nurse ever since I can remember. I’ve been at Middleton since 2019. I love being able to care for others' pets and working with the rest of the team to provide the best care. I’m enthusiastic about what I do and in my spare time I like to read and expand my knowledge. At home I have 3 crazy cats called Bob, Jimi and Alex along with 2 Chihuahuas Kurt and Kylie and they all have such different personalities. Previously I've had big breeds of dog, Border Collie, German Shepherd, Boxer and New Foundland. I enjoy a challenge and like to go on hikes or stay at home doing puzzles.

I have been with Vets4pets since June 2017 and started my journey here as a Receptionist. I love meeting all of the clients and their pets each day, old or new I really enjoy being a part of their care. Each day always brings something new and exciting and it is always a pleasure to help everyone. My love of animals led to my choice of study in Animal Care and Animal Management at Hopwood Hall College, after college I worked in the retail sector for a while before coming back to the area I enjoy best. My beloved Shar-Pei Juke sadly passed away in 2020 and now I have four lazy British Shorthairs!

From as early as I can remember I have always loved animals and being around them as much as I could. I knew there was nothing else I wanted to do other than work alongside animals. I have studied Animal Care and Animal Behaviour. Working for vets4pets has not only given me the perfect opportunity to work with animals but to further my eagerness to learn more. I enjoy coming to work everyday and I love meeting the clients and all their pets. No two days are the same and I learn something new everyday. Outside of work I am always busy, I have two children, an American Bulldog named Boo, three cats named Angel, Theo and Finn and 2 rabbits named Gizmo and Jack. I love to walk everyday with Boo and spending time with my children, I do a lot of reading and I enjoy doing crafts.

I have always wanted to work with animals since I was little . I started volunteering at Vets4Pets in Middleton in September 2020 and then was lucky enough to start working full time from March 2021. I love working here and enjoy meeting clients along with their pets. I have two dogs of my own, a Saint Bernard cross called Bailey and a cheeky Cockapoo puppy called Jojo. In my spare time I love spending it with my family and going out for meals.

I am the newest member at Vets4Pets, I’ve only been here a few months but it already feels like home! I have worked within this industry for a little over 12 months now and I’m learning something new every day. I was previously a Dental Nurse for 13 years but swapped over from people to pets!! I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them and I finally took the leap in 2021 to change careers. I enjoy meeting the clients and being a part of their journey at the practice.

I have always had cats as pets and currently have 3 cats Bella aged 14, Sonny aged 1 and J.J. aged 5 months old. I also have a horse called Ginger who is 27 and I have a daughter! In my spare time you will find me at the farm spending time with my horse, the farm dogs and the 2 cows!!
