Sinead Ennis MVB MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

Sinead came over from Dublin in 2002 having graduated as a vet with a keen interest in small animal surgery. She first came to work for Charlton Companion Care in 2004, and very quickly fell in love with London and knew she would be here to stay. In 2006 Sinead took the opportunity to invest in the practice and has really enjoyed developing a relationship with her patients and their owners. Sinead is really proud to be able to offer a warm, friendly and professional service with a high standard of veterinary care.

Sinead is pictured here with Fraggle, her three-legged Lurcher, who lost a leg following an unfortunate accident but found a new home with our Head Vet. Fraggle is a happy member of the team, spending a lot of time with Sinead at the surgery. If you haven’t visited the surgery yet, please pop in to say hello!
