Petplan Veterinary Awards winners named

By Marianne Straker, Mon 12 Apr 2010 - Published in Pet Insurance

A vet in Buckinghamshire has been named as the UK's best in research by a pet insurance provider.

In its recent Veterinary Awards, Petplan highlighted the achievements of veterinary centres across the UK and received more than 1,800 nominations for excellence.

Mike Hewitt of the Wendover Heights Veterinary Centre in Buckinghamshire was named as the vet of the year, with his 20 years of experience and approachable manner cited as reasons for his victory.

Mill House Veterinary Surgery and Hospital in Norfolk was awarded the practice of the year honour for its high level of service and reputation for taking pride in its work.

In addition, Louise Want of Warwickshire's Feldon Veterinary Centre won the nurse of the year accolade, while in Devon Kingsteignton Veterinary Group's Carol Dawson scooped the receptionist of the year gong.

Alison Andrew, Petplan's marketing manager, commented: "The Petplan Veterinary Awards give us the opportunity, on behalf of all pet owners across the UK, to thank the veterinary profession for the outstanding service they provide to our pets."

Recent research from Sainsbury's Finance found that four in ten pets seen by vets are showing signs of being overweight.
