Meet the team
My name is Dan and I am the Joint Venture Partner here at Vets4Pets Poole Holes Bay. I am delighted to welcome you to our page and hopefully to my clinic. I am privileged to work with an amazing group of vets, nurses and receptionists to offer 'top notch' care for all our patients. I am originally a northern boy from Manchester and moved to Poole in 2009. I love it here! I qualified from Glasgow University in 2003 and since then have spent time working in mixed, equine, and small animal practice.
I lived in New Zealand for two years working in a large equine hospital before returning to the UK to take up full time work as a small animal vet. In 2019 I completed the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Small Animal Medicine. I have a real interest in medical conditions affecting cats and dogs with a special interest in hormonal disease and gastrointestinal conditions.
I have a keen interest in the veterinary profession and am passionate about creating a good workplace for my team to work in and helping the profession as a whole improve on this through my membership of several diversity and inclusion working groups.
I live in Poole with my partner and my cat Milo and our gigantic dog, Hudson, I think Hudson is well known to many clients as he comes to work with me sometimes.

Andy is a very familiar face in the practice and we are delighted that we are able to offer advanced orthopaedic treatment and diagnosis through Andy's skill and expertise.
Andy is a self-employed mobile orthopaedic veterinary surgeon and has been friends with Dan for many years.

Andy is also an RCVS recognised Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery
In 2011 he left the UK to work at James Cook University in North Queensland. He then completed an extended internship at an orthopaedic and neurosurgical referral practice in the UK and is now studying towards the RCVS Diploma in orthopaedics.
I am also on the Editorial Board of the open access, EBVM journal Veterinary Evidence, which is published by RCVS Knowledge.
