Caring for all aspects of your pet’s oral health is easy with our excellent dental facilities.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test used to detect certain defects in your pet’s heart.

Using a tiny, flexible camera, we’re able to view internal body parts with little surgical intervention.

We know that sometimes it just isn’t possible for you or your pet to travel into one of our practices to receive care. At times like this, our capable and compassionate veterinary teams often offer at home visits.

Your local Medivet practice will be able to issue an Animal Health Certificate for EU travel.

I joined the practice in May 2021 and worked alongside Shamrock’s previous partners for a few months before taking the reins in August 2021. In my spare time I love being outside. I enjoy hillwalking, gardening, caving, camping and trips to the seaside. I live with my husband, son and our two wonderful Maine Coon’s named George and Rose. I graduated from Edinburgh University with distinction in 2008 and then in 2015 I completed an RCVS certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice focusing on small animal medicine. I’ve worked in small animal practices in Berkshire, Northamptonshire and West Yorkshire before settling in the Harrogate area in 2015. I enjoy all aspects of small animal general practice, including performing surgeries, diagnosing and treating complex medical cases and the general care of dogs, cats and small mammals. I like to get to know my patients and work together with their owners to give them the best possible quality of life.

I joined the practice in October 2023 and I am enjoying getting to practice veterinary medicine while in the early stages of my career. I grew up in Spain and graduated from the University of Murcia, before moving back to the UK. I am passionate about all areas of small animal veterinary medicine, with a particular interest in developing my knowledge and skills in surgery, internal medicine and ultrasonography. In my free time I enjoy long walks out in nature with my dog Oddie, as well as cuddling up on the sofa with my cat Mr Beans. I am excited to continue forming a relationship with my patients and clients, while learning and progressing within my field as a Veterinary Surgeon.

Head Veterinary Nurse

I joined the practice in 2021 after 6 years’ experience in a busy animal hospital. I qualified in 2019 after retraining from a level 3 nurse practitioner. I live with my young son, Luke and a menagerie of pets, I have Raven and Hazel as my loyal dogs, I successfully rescued Hazel many years ago. My two cats, Nusura and Lollie provide lots of cuddles at the end of the day, though not very cuddly but very interesting, my mini zoo is complete with Leo the Leopard Gecko. When not working I have my head in a gripping historical book or exploring the Yorkshire moors with my dogs finding new routes and often getting lost. I have an interest in surgery and the monitoring and recovery of anaesthesia and wish to advance my career within this area.

Patient Care Assistant

I joined Shamrock over 20 years ago as a Client Care Assistant, during that time I trained to become a Patient Care Assistant where my previous experience of processing laboratory samples proved invaluable. With my experience I am often called on to assist in many areas of the practice. In my spare time I enjoy social activities with friends, keeping fit by walking my two dogs, Maddie and Luna. I am particularly proud of taking myself out of my comfort zone and completing the Three Peaks.

Student Veterinary Nurse

I'm in my placement year while studying to become a fully qualified veterinary nurse at Reaseheath University. I enjoy the husbandry aspects of the job as well as laboratory and surgery. When I'm not at work I enjoy cooking and baking with my boyfriend, as well as spending time with alpacas and goats at a local farm I volunteer at. I'm looking to adopt two kittens and eventually when I have a bigger garden will be getting a dog of my own too. When I qualify, I would like to travel abroad to Africa or South America and work at wildlife sanctuaries. I really enjoy this job and although I have much to learn, couldn't see myself working in any other occupation.

Mary the vet was very thorough when doing one of our cats' annual check-up and booster jab. Gilbert can be quite sensitive but he was handled with care by someone who clearly takes pride in her work and cares for her patients!

Lovely caring staff. Mary the vet couldn't be kinder to our elderly cat. We had to move when East Park practice closed, but we're very happy with the Shamrock practice.

In the 25 years I've owned polecats/ferrets, Medivet is the best. The veterinarian was knowledgeable, understood Alfred's needs and respected me as an AuDHD person! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you for looking after Alfred and me, I'll catch up when he's due for an implant. 💚
