Amesbury Vets4Pets

I qualified in 2007 from the Royal Veterinary College in London and after a stint in New Zealand, returned to Hampshire where I have remained ever since.

I have worked in small animal first opinion practice since graduating and love getting to know people and their furry friends!  I particularly enjoy surgery and also all aspects of preventative care, especially trying to improve welfare and making life enjoyable for our patients.

I have found a very happy new home here at Vets4Pets Amesbury and am proud to be part of such an awesome team.

When not working, I spend my time with my 2 kids, husband and retirement village of old lady guinea pigs!

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2017. I started my veterinary career back home in the Lake District, and after a stint in Catterick and York, we relocated to Amesbury in September last year.
I particularly enjoy the surgical side of practice, and gained my PG Cert in small animal surgery last year.
Outside of work, you might find me in the gym, trick training with my spaniel, or trying to convince my lazy Labrador to go for a walk (a losing battle if it’s raining)

Sarah Cooper is a Veterinary Ophthalmologist with over 15 years experience of treating eye cases big and small, ranging from hamsters to horses as well as dogs and cats. She qualified in 1999 as a veterinary Surgeon and obtained further Certification in Ophthalmology in 2004. She is also an Advanced Veterinary Practitioner (AVP) in Veterinary Ophthalmology.  Sarah is a referral vet and is happy to see any cases with eye problems, which can be booked in via our reception team.  On occasion she will also act as a locum when our other vets are on leave. 

I graduated from the University of Surrey in 2024. Originally from South West London I have moved to Hampshire, escaping the busy city life. I’ve always loved animals and growing up all my friends referred to our house as the zoo. From stick insects to small furries we have had them all. Our longest residents are our three tortoises who definitely rule the garden and love to tell the dog who's in charge. In my spare time I enjoy going for a run or a swim. I'm excited to be a part of the Amesbury team and to meet you and your furry friends!

I have always wanted to work with animals and began my journey studying for a BSc in Animal Management at Sparsholt College, graduating in 2012. During this time I developed a strong knowledge of exotic species and pursued my love of Asian Elephants working with them in the UK and abroad. I then undertook my Veterinary Nurse training, qualifying in 2014 from Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing in Dorchester. I am really passionate about being an RVN, especially forming strong bonds with clients and their pets. 

At home I enjoy baking and spending time outdoors with my husband, our two children and dog Nellie; as well as horse riding when I get some time to myself! 

I qualified as an RVN in 2012. Early in my career I found love for hand rearing puppies and kittens for the RSPCA, as it is extremely rewarding.

During my career as an RVN I have enjoyed experiencing orthopaedic referral as well as multidiscipline referral. This gave me the opportunity to work with advanced imaging such as CT and MRI. But my true passion is working in first opinion. 

Since starting at Vets4Pets Amesbury I have really enjoyed getting involved with the nurse clinics and have loved meeting all the patients and clients. 

I qualified in 2018 from Sparsholt with a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. 

My family moved to Wiltshire and I have been working alongside the team at Amesbury V4P for 6 years. I am continually expanding my skills to provide the best outcomes for my patients and hoping to gain my certificate in Emergency Critical Care very soon. Theatre nursing and anaesthesia are my preferred roles within our highly skilled team. 

My goal should you pet ever end up in practice under my care is to advocate for animal health and wellbeing through expert nursing and compassionate care.

I aspire to one day undertake care and rehabilitation with wildlife and somehow play a small part to conversation efforts through my work.

I have worked at Vets4Pets Amesbury since they first opened their doors in 2016.

I live with my husband, two children and two spaniels, Archie and Moss. Before getting married I lived in North Wales where I successfully completed a degree in animal studies; I started my veterinary career at a Vets4Pets in my hometown as a receptionist where my passion grew to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse.

At Vets4Pets Amesbury, I became part of the client care advisor team which then led to becoming a veterinary care assistant and in 2018 I started studying towards my Veterinary Nurse qualification. Since qualifying in 2021, I enjoy many aspects of the role including monitoring anaesthetics, taking care of in-patients and running nurse clinics. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and walking our crazy spaniels.  

Having always had a love of animals from a very young age. I've always known that I wanted to have a career in the veterinary industry. 

In 2021 I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse with a degree in veterinary nursing. I completed my training at Vets4Pets Amesbury and have been working with the team ever since! I am particularly interested in in-patient care and anaesthesia.

In my spare time i spend time with two horses Grace and Moon and my Jack Russell Jimmy in the Wiltshire countryside. 

A lot of you will know me from my days as a Client Care Advisor, being there to greet you and your beloved pets! Since then I have increased my number of crazy cocker spaniels to three and in April 2023 I took a big leap to become a Student Veterinary Nurse studying with Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing. You will see me now in either a set of pink scrubs when I am caring for your pets out the back in our wards, or in my nursing uniform during nursing consultations!

As a dedicated student veterinary nurse, I'm passionate about caring for animals and ensuring their well-being. Alongside my studies, I'm a proud owner of two beloved cats, two incredible snakes, and four adorable chinchillas. Through hands-on experience and academic learning, I strive to deepen my understanding of animal health and behaviour, aiming to make a positive impact in the lives of both domestic and exotic creatures. I look forward to what my year at Amesbury Vets4Pets has in store for me and am grateful to be part of a team so dedicated to the welfare of all animals. 

I have grown up with animals all of my life. I love them! 

When the opportunity to work at Vets4Pets Amesbury came up I had to take it, and it was the best decision I could of ever made. I absolutely love my job, I am learning so much and hope to progress even further in the future. 

I'm married, have a beautiful daughter and 3 fur babies (2 dogs and a cat). We love going walking and making memories together as a family. 

Growing up I always had such a love for animals, I knew I wanted to work in the veterinary industry – I joined a busy 24hr veterinary hospital in 2014, I remained there until 2023 and then joined another 24hr hospital. 

I joined the team at Amesbury as a Senior Client Care Advisor in 2024 after relocating from London, where I have lived my whole life, to Wiltshire to live with my boyfriend. 

Together we have 8 Geckos & 5 Vampire Crabs. Back home in London, I have a beautiful (& mischievous!) Golden Retriever called Ronnie. 

In my spare time I love to watch horror movies, play video games and go for long walks.

I joined Vets4Pets Amesbury in October 2023 as a Client Care Advisor and enjoy getting to know pets and their owners. 

When I am not at work, I can be found looking after my three dogs - training, exercising and grooming them as well as spending time with my grandchildren. 

I joined Vets4Pets as a Client Care Advisor in November 2023 and I am really enjoying being part of
the team. The staff and clients have all been so welcoming and I have learnt so much from
everyone.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I go to the gym several times a
week and like to go walking. I have an adorable little rescue cat called Jacky, who is so gentle and
doesn’t even mind me practicing playing the flute!

I joined Amesbury Vets4Pets in September 2024 and am loving getting to know all the pets and owners. 

In my spare time I will be found with my dog Arthur either at the beach or camping. 

I have always wanted to work in a veterinary practice. I am currently working as a CCA and I am thoroughly enjoying my job role. I love seeing all the different animals that come in and I always try and help everyone as best as I can. My main ambition is to one day become a veterinary nurse or anything more clinical, getting more involved with helping the animals. I studied animal management at Sparsholt College where I learn a lot during this time, hopefully one day putting some of this knowledge into the future. At home, I have my own pet. my cat, Millie.
