Our Team
Your vet is Shola Idowu, MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon
.
I have been a veterinary surgeon for the last 8 years working all over the world. I have been privileged to live and work with some great people in Essex for the last 8 years practising veterinary medicine.
My passion for excellent delivery of animal care and high quality customer centred service has been the main drive throughout my career.
My special interests are all aspects of internal medicine and cardiology; I am currently studying for a certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading, jogging, playing football with my two boys and actively policing our exotic fishes from being overfed by the boys!

Kate has a real passion for animals and decided she wanted to get back into the real reason she became a veterinary nurse - to care for the animals. Kate finds her job very rewarding and she loves working at Companion Care due to a very hard working and devoted team and thinks working with the happiest vet she’s ever met helps too!
