Dover Whitfield Vets for Pets

I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2013 having completed my veterinary degree. I completed my first degree in Animal Behavior and Welfare. My main area of veterinary interest lies in exotic animal medicine, including reptiles, birds, rabbits and small mammals. I have undertaken exotics training courses and placements in Australia, Czech Republic and America. I completed my post graduate certificate in Exotic Animal Medicine in 2015. I also have a particular interest in surgery. I like walking, travelling and going to the cinema. I have two cats, two corn snakes, three poison dart frogs and three ducks.

From Longford in Ireland, I qualified at University College Dublin. Moving to England I opened the Companion Care Surgery in Ashford in 2007. My particular interest is internal medicine. I have a rescue cat from Gibraltar called Bambino who very much makes himself at home whenever he visits the surgery, and a naughty little schnauzer crossed border terrier named Raya who comes to work every day and keeps us all busy with her cheeky antics.

I graduated in 2005 as veterinary surgeon. For 4 years I worked as a farm vet in several countries across Europe. In 2009 I moved to the USA where I joined a team in a first opinion clinic for companion animals. I certified as an MRCVS in 2016. Since 2017 I have lived and worked in the UK. I joined the Vets for Pets Dover team in 2020. I have a big family of 3 kids, 4 cats (currently), a bearded dragon, a hedgehog, and 2 racing pigeons. I am quite passionate about my work, football and coffee. In my limited spare time I like to read and explore the history of Ocean steam liner RMS Titanic and the fascinating stories of the crew members and the passengers. I am a great fan of the band Queen, Freddie’s unique vocals and Brian’s guitar solos.

Originally from Dover, I spent a lot of my time before university working on a local farm, and I still have a keen interest in farming and the countryside. I studied at the University of Surrey and decided to return home for work. I joined Vets for Pets in 2020 and have a particular interest in surgery, especially soft tissue. I’m currently studying for a certificate in small animal surgery which will allow us as a practice to offer more advanced surgery. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends, especially cooking and enjoying good food and drink. You might even catch me on the roads around Dover training for my next marathon!

I am Wendy Cheung, or Mun Wai Cheung, if you were up for a challenge to pronounce my Chinese name. I was born in Singapore and raised in Hong Kong. I then moved to UK in 2016 to attend veterinary school in University of Glasgow. After graduating in 2021, I moved to the Kent area to start my career as a small animal veterinarian and to chase after some sunshine in South England. I have been enjoying Kent and having the pleasure to serve the animals around the area. My interest is small animal internal medicine, I also enjoy seeing some exotic animals, including small mammals and reptiles. In my free time, I like to discover Asian Cuisines around the area to comfort my home sickness and go for outdoor activities during summer times to make up the sunshine I missed back in Scotland.

Hi, I’m Megan! Since the age of 5 I knew I wanted to become a vet. After spending 5 years training at the Royal Veterinary College in London, I moved back to my hometown Dover and in 2022 began my career at vets4pets. At the moment I am loving every part of the job and trying to decide what specific aspect I’d like to do a certificate in.

In my spare time I enjoy going on walks with my family dog Loki and I have recently started learning aerial silks.

Hi, I’m Sam and I joined Vets for Pets Dover Whitfield in October 2018, and became Head Nurse in October 2021. I started my veterinary nursing career back in 2008 in a small animal practice. I’ve expanded my veterinary experience working in a mixed practice with farm animals and horses, and then in a charitable veterinary practice. I am now thoroughly enjoying the small animal and exotics cared for here in Dover with such a great friendly team. In my free time, I love to continue expanding my knowledge in the veterinary field (especially anaesthetics and feline medicine) and I love a good crime and mystery novel, and a good walk in the countryside.

Hi I’m Jo, I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2009. I previously worked in an ophthalmology specialist clinic. I have also spent time volunteering with orangutans in Borneo. I am interested in anaesthesia and widening my knowledge in this area.

Outside of work you may find me in Dover harbour on my paddle board or doing ballet and tap dancing.

I started in the veterinary industry in 2019 when I started working as a Veterinary Care Assistant. I completed my Veterinary Nurse training at the end of 2023 and love the challenges this job brings. I love to travel having previously worked for British Airways as an air hostess. At home I have six dogs who I love to take for adventures, a rescue cat named Ray. 

I started in the veterinary industry in 2020 whilst also completing an animal management course and volunteering at a cat rescue centre. I completed my veterinary nursing training at the end of 2023. In my spare time I enjoy keeping active and looking after my two cats.

I started my journey with Vets for Pets back in June 2021, soon after I finished my qualification in Level 2 animal nursing assistants. I’m currently a veterinary care assistant but looking to start college in September to become a registered veterinary nurse.

I have 2 fur babies, both being Jack Russell Terrier crosses. Their names are Wilson and Wilma. I enjoy going to the cinema, long road trips and spending time with family, friends and animals of course.

Since joining the practice in October 2021 I have learnt so much and am hoping to begin veterinary nurse training next year. I have always had an interest in animals, having previously studied Primate Conservation MSc, and have enjoyed my time volunteering at local zoos and a rehabilitation centre in South Africa. I have a particular interest in wildlife rehabilitation and conservation. In my free time I like to take our staffie Ruby on long walks, and love to travel whenever I can.

Hello, I am Aimee, I joined the practice in February 2020 and have loved every day since. You will find me chatting away to the mums and dads of the pets and of course making a fuss over the animals. We have a great team here it is great to be part of it. In my spare time I like going on long country walks, eating and spending time with my family. At home I have two 14 year old sister cats Roxy and Gypsy. I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.

I have worked with the practice since Feb 2021 as a CCA. I always wanted to work with or around animals. I thoroughly enjoy seeing all the pets coming and going through out the practice and particularly enjoy when I see them feel a lot better! I have a family of fish that I look after at home which includes Tetras, Mollies and Zebra Loaches. I am hoping to expand my little family with a cat sometime soon!
