About Vet

I am passionate about providing affordable veterinary care! Please use the code for 25% off your first consult: BIRDNERD25

PLEASE READ FIRST: The RCVS (our legal governing body) stresses that veterinary surgeons are not able to safely dispense certain medication virtually, by law. NO online vet in the UK will be able to prescribe medications like antibiotics or repeat prescriptions to your pet, as they require a physical exam first.

Hello! I am Jo, a qualified Veterinary Surgeon with a Postgraduate Certificate in Veterinary Education and Postgraduate Certificate in Exotic Medicine, so I am extremely competent and happy to see any creature, great and small, feathery and scaly.

As well as my wide range of experiences in treating dogs, cats and small mammals, emergency and intensive care and managing exotic/zoo species, I have also spent several years teaching. So, not only am I committed to listening and helping with your furry friend's problem, but I am also able to teach you something new about your pet, so you can better understand what is happening.

This virtual consult is an excellent way to provide discuss if your pet has a true emergency, analyse management of longterm conditions and all whilst giving us more time to discuss your concerns than a standard consult. This is also a great platform for those travelling with pets, like myself, who need an friendly face on the road.

I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
