Hemel Hempstead Companion Care

After originally qualifying as an optometrist in South Africa in 1994 John returned to university and qualified as a vet in 2002. He has worked in various small animal practices in the UK before he started at the Dunstable surgery in 2006. John lives with his wife, 2 children and a menagerie of animals including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens and some fish for good measure.

I began my career as a bird keeper at London Zoo, and after a few years moved into animal welfare work. While working for the RSPCA I retrained as a Veterinary nurse, qualifying in 1999.

My interests lie in preventative healthcare and avian nursing.

I live with my three cats, Shirley, Rita and Brenda, and my aviary birds.

I started working at Companion Care in August 2019 I have a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and live with my 2 cats, a chunky tabby cat called Bandit & a cheeky rescue cat called Zorro.

Hi! I have been at Companion Care since June 2018. As you can see from my picture I have a Dalmatian who keeps me busy. I also have an interest in horses having been around them since the age of 8.

I started working at Companion Care in July 2018, I have studied and received my Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and previously worked with the RSPCA as an Animal Care Assistant. I have 2 dogs at home, my rescue Pippa and our little Penelope the miniature Dachshund! I also have an extremely naughty cat called Bruce.
