OUR VET TEAM
RAQUEL SAIZ VELASCO
LV • MRCVS
Raquel graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Leon (Spain) in 2015. She then completed a 12 month internship in Small Animal Surgery at the University of Turin (Italy).
From 2016 Raquel spent the next few years working in the UK in small animal practice, focusing on surgery, and gained her RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (Surgery) with Liverpool University.
We were delighted that she joined our team this February. She is passionate about providing excellent patient care, and loves meeting all our lovely clients and their pets, and helping to support them through treatment decision making. Raquel enjoys spending her free time with her gorgeous dog Maurice, her partner and her cat Arnie. You'll often also find her regularly supporting the Giants rugby league team in winter, or the local cricket team in summer.
