Hannah has been working as a vet for over 13 years, since qualifying from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011. First, she worked in a busy mixed practice, treating a wide range of species, including cats and dogs, small furries, farm animals, horses, and even exotics. After three years, Hannah decided to devote her attention to cats and dogs (mainly), although she still treats the occasional rabbit, guinea pig, or hamster. Hannah is particularly interested in soft tissue surgery and dentistry, and she has completed further training in both of these areas. She is passionate about improving dental care for pets, and educating pet owners about what they can do to help. Now working as a locum vet after 11 years in a permanent position, Hannah gets to enjoy family life with her toddler while still doing the job she loves.
