Don't just take our word for it
“My journey with Village Vet began when I did some shifts for them as a locum nurse while studying for the last year of my BSc course. The reason I stayed and become one of their full-time veterinary nurses was the supportive, compassionate, and bubbly personality from all the team members. Most importantly, everyone at Village Vet provides their utmost care and responsibility towards every patient and client, which I value a lot as a veterinary nurse. The wide range of sources supplied by Village Vet also allows me to enhance my skills and knowledge. I am glad to be part of the team and would like to continue making more memories there. “
