People

Named team members mentioned positively in reviews

• •Anna (vet, per review context): called an owner before a rabbit’s procedure to talk through the plan and answer questions; after surgery, advised bringing the rabbit back immediately when stitches were being licked and provided a check plus extra medication.
• •Jen (vet): credited (with Julia) for treatment and advice that helped an older cat with kidney issues improve.
• •Julia (vet): mentioned alongside Jen for taking time with both an unwell older cat and a new kitten.
• •Shona (vet): described by one owner as providing “great treatment” across repeated visits.

A recurring theme is seeing the same vet each time, which one owner felt improved how well the team remembered both them and their dog.
