The team includes 16 vets - seven of whom are certificate holders - plus six more currently studying in areas such as cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, surgery, and medicine.

With a dedicated night team on site, there's no need for out of hours work. Weekends are shared fairly (1:10 full weekends and 1:5 Saturdays) with time back in lieu. The last weekday appointment is at 6:30 pm, giving a healthy work life balance.
