Who’ll look after your pet
Dr. Zaila Dunbar BVM&S MRCVS
Although Zaila enjoys caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, she has a keen interest in feline medicine, particularly diseases of the older cat, dentistry and behavioural issues. She is currently working towards an internationally recognised certificate specialising in this subject.
In addition to her sons Freddie and Arthur, she has a crazy but contented cat called Moti who keeps the whole family entertained. In 2012 Zaila was awarded Vet of The Year.
Dr. Anne Christison
Anne has worked in small animal practice for the past few years with a general interest in internal medicine.
Melanie Nicholls
Melanie very much enjoys clinical nursing, and has an exceptional ability to gently handle frightened or overwhelmed pets.
Her main role involves day to day management, processing all the insurance claims and dealing with the financial side of the clinic.
You can call her with any questions regarding your pet’s health or for advice about insurance.
Thaline Briers
Thaline did her training at Thomas More in Belgium, where she graduated in 2016. Soon after she finished her training she moved to London and joined the Petcare team.
She likes all aspects of the job, particularly assisting the vets during procedures and recovery of the animals after surgery.
In her spare time Thaline likes to be a tourist in her own city and explore London in all its glory.
Cara Maryon
Cara really enjoys caring for and interacting with all the different animals that visit the clinic.
She has a degree in Animal Science and lives with her family, 2 cats called Barbie and Charlie, and a pet snake called Tommy.
Lara Waterson
Lara joined PetCare in December 2005 as the Practice Manager.
Just as the veterinary staff take care of the animals, her role is to take care of the expanding number of practices, ensuring all our clients receive the best possible service and their pets receive the highest standards of care available.
Lara is always interested in hearing your feedback as we constantly look to improve our service to you and your pets. She also loves to sneak a few strokes and cuddles with your pets whenever she can!
Lara lives in Surrey with her husband and her very spoilt cat, Hobbes.
