Your vet is Tavi Galla, DVM MSc MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner & Veterinary Surgeon

Tavi Galla DVM MSc MRCVS Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon Companion Care Vets Wakefield
I qualified from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Timisoara, Romania in 2004, and in 2006 gained a Master of Science degree in Veterinary Epidemiology. In April 2007, I moved to the UK along with my wife Larissa and our three Bull Terriers.
Between August 2007 and May 2008 I worked as a vet in a first opinion small animal practice in Doncaster. Before becoming Joint Venture Partner at our first Companion Care Veterinary surgery in Wakefield, I spent 3 years as a vet in Companion Care Huddersfield surgery, dealing with surgical caseloads and also working very closely with local dog breeders, so I am very pleased to be back in Huddersfield.. In 2010 I enrolled for the RCVS certificate in Small Animal Surgery. My main interests are in small animal surgery, reproduction and dentistry. I am also very much involved in the dog world, being a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder and member of ten Bull Terrier Clubs across the UK. I started breeding Bull Terriers in 2002, but also very much enjoy showing and judging Bull Terriers. I am a great believer in responsible breeding and promote highly the health testing for all breeds.
Please do come and meet us in our Huddersfield surgery - we can show you around and demonstrate what we have to offer. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!

I qualified in 2006 from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Timisoara, Romania and in April 2007 moved to the UK with Tavi and our three Bull Terriers, where I worked as vet in the same small animal veterinary practice in Doncaster as Tavi.
After May 2008 until February 2009, when our daughter was born, I was doing vet locum cover across West and South Yorkshire. After 6 months maternity leave, in September 2009, I returned as a vet in a small animal practice, and am a partner with my husband Tavi at Companion Care Vets in Wakefield.
I enjoy all aspects of veterinary work, with a particular interest in medical cases. Together with Tavi I am a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder and joint member of ten Bull Terrier Clubs across the UK.
Please come down and meet us, we look forward to welcoming you and your pets!
