Louise's path into veterinary nursing began with volunteering at her local RSPCA branch at weekends and during school holidays. She loved working with the dogs and wanted to be a dog trainer, and when a veterinary nurse position became available at a local vet her career took off from there. She started nursing in April 1994 and qualified as an RVN in 2000. She holds a degree in higher advanced diploma in canine behaviour and psychology, is a qualified Assessor for training student nurses, and has a particular interest in behaviour clinics, mobility clinics and senior clinics. She also processes pet insurance claims for the practice.

Louise joined us in July 2019 and works across our Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock branches. Outside of work she's usually out with her dogs – walking, on the beach or finding somewhere nice to eat and explore in Pembrokeshire. She also enjoys gardening and spending time with her other half.

At home she has four rescue dogs ranging from a puppy up to 15 years old, and three rescue rabbits.

Her favourite thing about Pembrokeshire? The wildlife, the coastal walks and the beaches – which is exactly why she moved here ten years ago.
