If you've had an appointment with us, then you've probably met her at least once! Jen started the practice back in 2020, with nothing but herself and a van! Jen lives and breathes her love for animals, especially Clydesdales, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Maine Coons, with a whole bunch of them happily residing at her home.

Known for her dedication to her patients, Jen also has a unique way of unwinding—she takes her tea with milk, but always skips the sugar, joking that she's already sweet enough. When she's not caring for animals, she enjoys dancing and immersing herself in music, and you'll often find her out in the fields, spending quality time with her beloved horses.

 

Having a degree in zoology, her true passion lies in exotic animals, and she has a menagerie of rescued exotic animals at home, including rabbits, a skunk, pygmy squirrels, snakes, and many more.

When she's not at work, Amy enjoys sharing her love for animals by working at events and teaching children all about them. And if you ever need to find her, just follow the trail of empty Diet Irn Bru cans – it's a surefire way to locate her.

Claire originally came to us to operate on one of jen’s dogs in 2023, however she’s never left! She works a Wednesday only, you won't find her in the consult room; instead, she's in the operating theatre—she's an absolute whizz, and we guarantee that Claire can handle any challenge! 

Outside of work, Claire is passionate about caring for her animals on the smallholding, including horses, goats, and chickens. She also loves participating in cavalier shows, where she showcases her dogs. Additionally, Claire and her husband, Jed, enjoy the tranquility of maintaining several fish tanks, including a marine setup and several tropical ones. Never one to sit still, Claire also enjoys DIY projects and usually has at least one on the go, if not more!

Nicola is our new receptionist and the friendly face welcoming you to the practice. If you don’t spot her greeting you at the door, she’s most likely knitting, cross-stitching, or baking, she loves to keep her hands busy! Some of her fabulous cross-stitching is proudly on display in the practice, showcasing her incredible attention to detail and creativity. Despite her crafty talents, she always politely says no when it comes to the tea and coffee run!

At home, she shares her life with her two beloved cats, Tifa and Harley-Quinn, who keep her on her toes, Nicola loves chatting with clients and getting to know their pets, and she’s already become an invaluable part of our team. When she’s not at work or crafting at home, she enjoys trying out new baking recipes and sharing her treats with friends and family.

Oh, and if you ever need insurance claims sorted, Nicola is the queen of our insurance claims
