Dr. Mark William Hughes

Hi, I’m Mark! I am a UK-licensed veterinary surgeon with 18 years of experience, having worked in general practice and emergency small animal care, I enjoy all kind of consultations and getting to know my patient’s parents (you!) as much as possible as I have always believed this is the best way to help. I offer structured online consultations for dog and cat owners looking for guidance or advice after appointments with their regular vets, support managing long-term conditions or discussions regarding second opinions or even end-of-life care. In all cases I will try and guide you and your loved one as best as possible.

My clinical focus includes, but is not limited to: Ongoing heart disease management. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) Diabetes management Osteoarthritis and mobility plans Atopic dermatitis and chronic skin disease Senior pet care

I am happy to review blood and other test results, treatment options, and long-term plans step by step if you feel you need clarification after seeing your regular vet. My approach is friendly, calm, practical, and focused on helping you understand your pet’s condition and treatment.

Equally, if you’re not sure if your pet requires emergency care or if it can wait, I am happy to assess which is the safest option with you, though I do not replace in-person emergency care.
