Being a Vet: More Than Just a Dream Job

Being a Vet: More Than Just a Dream Job

Becoming a vet is a childhood dream for many, but what really happens inside a veterinary clinic? On Saturday, 6th September, you can find out during our Opening Day!

Our clinic is a team effort, with many people working together to keep your pets healthy.

Here in our Lusk clinic, the first person you’ll meet is Ewa, our wonderful receptionist. She books appointments, answers your questions, and can even advise you on your pet’s diet. She also supports the team behind the scenes, while making sure your wait is as pleasant as possible, especially during difficult moments.

We also have two fantastic nurses: Skye and Rebecca. They prepare patients for surgery, monitor recovery, and are always ready to cuddle a new puppy. They’ll give you great advice to help your pet grow healthy and confident, and they can help with diets or dental care. Vets rely on them for everything, from lab work to anaesthesia.

And then there are the vets: Peter and myself, Carla. You’ll find us in consultations, surgeries, or hospital care (and sometimes joking about hiding in the X-ray room!). We both have years of experience, just look at our grey hairs!

Peter is an outstanding surgeon, operating from nose to tail. Though new to Dublin, clients follow him from Dundalk to Lusk.

I love consultations, talking with owners, involving them in treatment plans, and understanding their personal situations to offer the best options for their pets.

Together, we make a great team, and we’d love to show you what goes on behind the scenes.
