Founder and Clinical Director, The Vet Van
I grew up near Stamford and graduated in 2013 from the Royal Veterinary College. Following nearly a decade of working in small animal practice and leading a clinical team near Huntingdon, I undertook a postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Internal Medicine and recently launched my own independent mobile clinic called ‘The Vet Van’.
In my experience, it is a great comfort for pets, and their owners, to spend their last minutes in comfortable and calm surroundings; where time is not limited and anxiety and fear kept to a minimum. For this reason I am delighted to partner with Stamford Pet and Equine Crematorium to provide onsite and at-home goodbyes for dogs, cats, and other small animals.
I am an advocate for fear-free handling and utilise techniques endorsed by the CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy). I have also completed additional training in euthanasia and bereavement through the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Foundations of Advanced Veterinary Practice module to ensure a gentle, empathetic approach, allowing a peaceful passing for your pet and full support for you as a family member.
