At Cheviot Vets we love working day and night with our clients and are incredibly proud to support our farmers who work tirelessly to feed our families and protect the UK countryside. Farmers often work all day and through the night to ensure the welfare of their animals and the care, attention to detail and dedication is like no other profession in the world. 🐄🐑

However, they are under a very real threat which has put the future of british farming in real jeopardy. The government budget is threatening to heavily tax farmers as their land passes down generations, ensuring that very quickly no farmers would be able to afford to continue farming. 🚜

No farming=No food. 🌾

No matter what your political view, please stand with farmers today as they march in London, appreciate what they do and stand up to the budget!!

Carolyn is one of our Equine Vets based at the Kelso branch. She graduated in 2006 from Dublin (UCD), staying on a year to do her PhD in mare reproduction. She did a further year as an intern in the Equine hospital, before leaving the Country and joining Cheviot Vets 14 years ago. ⭐️ 🫶🩺

Carolyn specialises in stud medicine. She loves working with newborn foals, especially if she was involved in helping their mare through pregnancy. It's also lovely for her to watch these foals grow up, start their career and follow them along through life as their Vet. She loves working with nervous horses, and it's always so rewarding if she can get a horse that 'hates Vets' to trust her. 🐴🐎

Carolyn is joined on the road by her trusty side-kick, Cabbage the dog. Cabbage as you can see, takes charge of all Carolyn's admin work! 🐶🐾🦴

"I'm lucky to have known many of our clients for a long time now, and while I may not see them as often (as I'm very part time), I really value those relationships and have made many friends, both clients and horses". ❤️

Nick is one of our Large Animal Vets based at our Powburn Branch. He's been with Cheviot Vets for nearly a decade, joining us as a Mixed Animal Vet, after graduating from Bristol in 2015. Nick is often found gallivanting around the countryside with his side-kick/co-pilot Jura, the spaniel. 🎓🐶🩺

Nick is happiest on Farm working together with Farmers to optimise flock and herd productivity and loves getting hands on too with individual cases whether they are are medicine or surgery. 🐄🐏🐮

He seems to have the knack of getting covered in varying bodily fluids which our Farmers take great delight in photographing for us all to see! 🙈💩😂

Nicks favourite jobs on Farm is blood testing and fertility work, which are also great opportunities to get on Farm and discuss any issues with Farmers. 💉💬🐮

"We are so lucky to have fantastic clients who really champion British Farming and it is a pleasure to work with them and have gotten to know them over the years. Many of them I can now call Friends even if they do take the pleasure in making fun of me." 💙

Megan is one of our Small Animal Vets based at our Kelso Branch. She has been with us at Cheviot Vets for a year since graduating from The Royal Dick Vet School of Veterinary Studies in June last year. 🎓🐶🐕

It has been a quick year for Megan and she has enjoyed getting to know all of our lovely clients and their pets. She mostly enjoys consulting as you never know what is going to walk through the door next. Megan finds the best part of her job is the satisfaction after seeing poorly cases back to full health. 🩺👩‍⚕️💕

You may have also met Barley, Megan's cocker spaniel puppy who often takes it upon himself to meet clients in the waiting room at our Kelso Branch! 🐶🐾🧡

Allana has been with us at Cheviot Vets for 3 years. She works in a mixed role, mainly out of the Kelso Branch, with her handsome sidekick Rudi the dog. 🐾🧡🦮

The majority of Allana's work is now mainly Equine based, and she has a particular interest in Equine reproduction (now at the end of a busy stud season). 🐴🐎

Allana loves all aspects of her job, from simple jobs to the complicated ones, endless variety - "it's the spice of life." And she loves getting stuck in the challenging new cases. She also loves being out on the road or having a day in the Practice; meeting and catching up with clients, building new relationships, treating patients who need our help, making the difference. 🙏🩺

" I just adore my job and feel incredibly lucky to work in and travel around the Borders and North Northumberland - it's glorious. It's a tough and demanding job at times, but it's made a whole lot easier with amazing teammates, clients and patients. I wouldn't wish to be anywhere else doing anything else." 💕

Sabine and Urs are the owners and directors of Cheviot Vets. Sabine leading the Small Animal team and Urs heading the Large Animal Vets. 💚

Sabine shares her time between both branches, Powburn and Kelso, doing mainly consultations, not to be found so much through the back in Theatre. Having said that, she does enjoy keeping her hands in and skills up in surgery when needed. Sabine likes to 'get her teeth in' to some of the more complex medicine cases, following through, giving owners continuity and re-assurance. 🐶🐈🐕‍🦺🐱

She also runs our busy Booster clinics on monthly Saturdays to take the load off the working weeks and team. 💉

Sabine also works closely with our Practice Manager, Di and Team Manager Powburn, Melissa to run a smooth Practice and successful and happy team. 👏

Urs is mainly found on the road in his truck, all over the Scottish Borders and Northumberland, usually on his phone! 💚

Our farmers like his 'no nonsense' approach, knowledge and pragmatism.... which works on some tricky horses too!! There will be plenty of 'farm words' and banter as well. 🐎🐮🐏🐴

Although not as such specialising in anything, with his vast experience, he will be happy to deal with all things Equine and Farm. 🩺👨‍⚕️🥼
