Perri

Perri, our office manager, has been a Veterinary Nurse since 2007 and is the only qualified stem cell technician in this part of the state.

She is the hub around which the vets, patients, clients and other staff at the clinic revolve around. She is our chief organiser and somehow remembers every person, dog, cat and rat that comes in through the doors. 

Perri has 3 wonderful dogs at home – her staffy Freddie who was brought into the clinic as a stray at 8 weeks old, Sassy who has recently had a DNA test done and is officially a Wolfhound X Great Dane X Boxer, and Baby staffy Willow who was the flower girl at Perri’s wedding.
