Abingdon Vets4Pets

I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College and have a special interest in small animal orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery. Further to qualifying I have passed the British Small Animal Veterinary Association Surgical exams and was awarded a post graduate certificate in small animal surgery. This is an intensive three year course where Veterinary Surgeons are taught by Specialists to perform more advanced and technically demanding operations. We offer referral work for soft tissue and orthopaedics including TPLO/TTA/CCWO for cruciate surgery, fracture repair, key hole surgery and airway surgery (BOAS). In 2017 I was recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for our work in surgery and awarded Advanced Practitioner Status in orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery. I am presently studying for a second award in Advanced Small Animal Orthopaedics so as to offer our clients even more when it comes to their pet’s care.

Away from the operating table I really enjoy playing rugby. Dan and myself met on the rugby field fourteen years ago and I’m very excited to be owning a practice where I first began my veterinary career.

I also own a rescue cat called Cobweb who came to us from the RSCPA with a broken pelvis (now cured!) and a black Labrador Lyra who is always a welcoming face on reception at work.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2012. Joe and I decided to open our first Vets4Pets practice in Abingdon in 2016, having worked in multiple referral and first opinion veterinary hospitals across the UK prior to taking this big step. We later opened in Oxford and Newbury and are very proud of the teams we have working at each practice. I split my time between each of the three practices and have recently passed post graduate examinations with the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) in Small Animal Internal Medicine.

My clinical areas of interest are intensive care, acute medicine and soft tissue surgery, although I enjoy all aspects of veterinary practice. I am also developing a special interest in working dogs, and in 2020 volunteered as a trail veterinarian on the Iditarod Dog Sled race across Alaska! I believe in treating all of my patients as if they were my own animals and am extremely proud of the way the whole team here put our patients and clients first.

My wife Lucy is also a vet and one of the partners at Vets4Pets Oxford, and we live with two naughty dogs called Watson and Doug, and a rather superior three legged cat called Archie!

I studied at the University of Nottingham where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine and Science with Honours, before ultimately graduating with a First Class degree in Veterinary Medicine & Surgery in 2017. I have a keen interest in surgery and I am currently studying for a post graduate certificate in Small Animal Surgery with the British Small Animal Veterinary Association. Away from veterinary life I enjoy running and have loved the challenge of completing a few half marathons and Tough Mudder events. When I get the chance you will find me helping out at neuter clinics abroad for stray dogs and cats which I love. It was a shelter in Cyprus that I ended up bringing back my bonkers and very naughty beagle pointer cross, Lucky, who keeps me entertained and active on a daily basis!

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2021 with a degree in Veterinary Medicine. I have a particular interest in surgery but love all aspects of veterinary medicine and getting to know all of your pets better! I’m originally from Sheffield and have enjoyed spending my spare time exploring Oxfordshire. I also enjoy paddle boarding and playing netball, recently joining a local team. I look forward to meeting you all in the practice soon!

I’m originally from the US and graduated from the University of California Davis with a degree in Animal Science. Recently I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2023!

I am excited to be starting my first job here and getting to know everyone at the Abingdon and Oxford branch :)

In my spare time I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, and saying hi to every animal I see!

I became a registered veterinary nurse in 2019 and have been with the practice on and off since 2017. As a student doing my placements for university, I loved the team and the clients and patients so much that I never left. In my job I love to look after my patients as if they are my own. I'm always happy to give them a cuddle. I have keen interests in exotics, anaesthesia and diagnostic imaging. Outside work I have an interest in baking, gardening and keeping active. At home I have Rosie my crazy springer spaniel and Dusty my very vocal siamese.

I qualified in 2019 and started at Vets4Pets in July 2020 after moving to Oxfordshire.

My husband and I have a cheeky Weimaraner named Earl who is keeping us on our toes!

My interests inside work include anaesthetics, laboratory work and keeping up with the latest knowledge in all areas of nursing, which is helped by becoming a clinical coach, training a student nurse since February 2023.

My interests outside of work include baking, cooking and growing my own food and now includes training/ taking my puppy on lots of walks.

I joined Vets4Pets Oxford and Abingdon at the end of 2019 as an animal care assistant with receptionist duties. I became a student veterinary nurse from the beginning of January 2023. I have always loved being able to work with animals and really enjoy learning more with this course to become a registered veterinary nurse at the end of 2025!

Outside of work I love travelling including to Italy and Africa. I also enjoy photography around the local area!

I joined Vets4Pets in January 2019 as the Practice Manager for Abingdon, Oxford Botley Road and Newbury London Road.

I have previously worked as a Veterinary Practice Manager, a GP Practice Manager and also spent 10 years as a Human Resources Manager with over 800 colleagues to look after!

I am passionate about animals and have a mad young Australian Labradoodle called Kiwi and a cute, adored Syrian hamster called Brianna.

I love the amazing team at Vets4Pets. They care so much about every single patient and client experience and they are also great fun to work with!

The best part of the day is having cuddles with our patients – this is the best job in the world!

I joined the Vets4Pets team at Abingdon as a Receptionist in August 2018 after previously working at Pets at Home for 8 years.
I have always wanted to work with animals and dreamed of working in a vet practice. The team here are all so much fun to work with and it’s so lovely to meet all our clients and their pets… I also get to have sooo many puppy cuddles, which is great! 😍

It’s such an interesting and rewarding job and even though I’m on reception I do get to help out back a lot when needed.

Away from work I spend my time socialising with friends and family and being a dog mum to a very spoilt Dalmatian called Demi.

I joined the Vets4Pets team as a receptionist in August 2023, I’ve always been an animal lover so working at a vet practice is the perfect place for me! I treat every animal that comes in as if they’re my own, as they all deserve so much love and care. Plus as an added bonus, I get to have lots of cuddles!

I have two mischievous dogs at home who I rescued from Romania called Finn and Dinky. I love their cheeky personalities and wouldn’t change them for the world, although every day after work they have to sniff my clothes so they can smell all the animals I’ve said hello to! (Very annoying).

Away from work I enjoy taking my dogs out for walks and socialising with friends. My dream is to be able to travel more and one day experience an African safari.
