Our Team

Laura Pattinson BVMS MRCVS

Originally from Sussex, I graduated from Edinburgh University in 2002 and have worked in the west country ever since, apart from an 11 month break in 2005 to complete a round the world trip of a lifetime! I joined the Bredy vets team in March 2009. I particularly enjoy the variety of experiences and characters that working in mixed practice brings. Although I don’t have any particular areas of specialisation, I do enjoy small animal dentistry, bovine production and horse vet work. I have also done training to do heart ultrasound scans (called an echo or echocardiogram) & offer this service.  I work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays & Fridays.

I have completed a 4 day course in Veterinary Acupuncture in 2019 & now offer this service.
