Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

Read Arthur Tyther bio

Hi I am Arthur your new Joint Venture Partner and veterinary surgeon for Newtownabbey. I grew up on a small farm in County Kerry, so as well as having dogs and cats as pets, I also had pet lambs (with inventive names such as Larry and Larry 2) as a child too. I qualified in 2003 as a vet from the University College Dublin. Since graduating I have only ever worked in small animal practice. Firstly Newry and Banbridge, I then worked in Norfolk for a year and a half, before settling in Carrickfergus for the last 8 and a half years. I live in Carrick with my wife Anna, and our three rescue cats, Connie, Bella and Francee. Outside of work I enjoy playing and supporting rugby, gardening, TV, and trying to surf! I love working closely with owners to find the best solution for them and their pets to keep them happy and healthy. I can’t wait to meet you all!

Rebecca joined us in August 2022, a local girl with a nice easy commute down the hill from Mallusk - as yet she's declined my suggestion to try it by rollerblades/skateboard!

She loves meeting all your pets, but has a soft spot for the smaller pets like hamsters, guineas and rabbits; and also for Shih Tzu's like her family dog Teddy, and her very own boy Sawyer.

Sarah hails from Banbridge, but after a few years working in England and Scotland, returned to NI and then settled nearby in Ballyclare, stepping into Connie's shoes when Connie started her Australia journey.

Sarah enjoys medicine cases in particular, working with owners tailoring the care that suits them and their pet.

Cathy

Registered Veterinary Nurse

Read Cathy bio

Cathy has nearly 14 years experience working in a veterinary clinic. She was working as a nursing assistant, went on to do her vet nurse training and passed with flying colours, and afterward also trained up nurses herself. Prior to that, it was working with horses in a riding school and a stud farm, so she's pretty much always been working with animals.

 

Outside of work she looks after and rides her horse, goes to the gym, she is involved with a whole bunch of clubs and voluntary organisations:- motorcycle club (particularly the charity ride outs), classic car club, race marshall, Red Cross ambulance and first aid teams ... and occasionally sleeps! "It's amazing what you can squeeze in once you've got the kids out of the house" At home she's got her German Shepherd Tara, cat Ace, and smallish rescue dog Bosen (aka Bosey Bear).
