Dr Melanie Taylor BVetMed MVetSci MRCVS
Melanie graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2000, and founded the practice in 2008 on her own. She is interested in medicine (especially feline medicine) and has just completed a Masters Degree in Conservation Medicine. She is focused on providing the best care possible for your pet and relishes getting to know your pets individually. When she is not at work she is traveling in the camper van with her long suffering husband, or relaxing at home with a book and her cat.


.Part time and Locum Vets

Currently a lovely lady vet Dr Karen Horne will be taking care of the practice on Wednesday Thursdays and Fridays, and whilst Mel is on holiday. She is very experienced,  and is a true asset to the practice.  She loves walking her pack of Dachshunds, and has many varied hobbies, including bell ringing!

You might also meet Jenna, Annabel or Jude – all equally as fantastic!
