Amelia Gates

BVMSci(Hons) MRCVS

My name is Amelia and I’m a small animal vet currently working in the South West. I graduated from the University of Surrey in 2021 and moved away from my home in London to try a different lifestyle in Somerset. Since graduating I have failed to resist adopting a stray kitten, who now rules my home, as well as my obligatory black labrador which comes as standard with a Somerset and Devon post code. I now spend my weekends hiking, at dog classes or painting. Professionally I have a particular interest in ophthalmology and cat friendly clinics.
