Sarah qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2010, and spent several years working in a small animal practice in Surrey before being lured to Dorset in 2013 to work in a practice which specialised in more exotic patients. She then joined the Natterjacks family in March 2018, having worked with the Vets2You team since September of the previous year.
Sarah’s main interests lie with birds, reptiles and small furries, and she is currently studying for a post-graduate certificate with a focus on these more unusual pets. When not out on the road with Vets2You, Sarah can be found running an exotics clinic in our Poole branch, or helping out in a large wildlife hospital based in Leatherhead.
Although Sarah has a special interest in the less common domestic animals, she enjoys meeting and helping all sorts of animals and their families, and looks forward to seeing you and your furry (or not so furry!) friends soon!
In her spare time, Sarah enjoys getting out to explore the Dorset countryside – walking, rock climbing or just enjoying the scenery. She lives in Dorchester with her husband, Rich, and their two very spoilt but unashamedly wild rescue rabbits, Pea and Captain Jack.
