Our Team

Our Caring & Compassionate Veterinary Team

Meet the Vets, Nurses and Receptionists dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pet at Greenbay Vets. Our team spend time at both our Torquay and Paignton sites. We have a small, loyal team which means we can get to know our regular clients and patients well.

We are proud to employ qualified Registered Veterinary Nurses and Student Veterinary Nurses enrolled in approved training programmes. The title veterinary nurse is not currently protected, but we believe it should be. Our nurses have vital roles including administering treatments (under direction of our vets), monitoring your pets whilst undergoing anaesthesia/surgery, and performing nurse clinics. We don’t believe it is appropriate for these tasks to be performed by people who are not qualified or in approved training programmes.

It goes without saying that our team have lots of pets of their own, check out the album of team pets on our Facebook page!
