I joined Bay Vet Group in 2016 having previously worked in a Veterinary Practice in the USA. I am just about to start my training to become a Suitably Qualified Person (SQP) to dispense medications.

I absolutely love working with and around animals, I have a gorgeous dog of my own who I enjoy taking for walks on the beach and the moors.

I love travelling and have so far travelled around Europe, Thailand and the USA.

I am now very excited to have been promoted to working alongside the office team from October 2018

Tamsin Pridham

Receptionist – Dawlish.

I’ve recently moved from Bristol to Dawlish, to be closer to family and fulfil my dream to live by the sea.  I previously worked at Rowe Vets in Yate, as Head Receptionist and I’m delighted to continue doing the job that I absolutely love.

In my spare time, I enjoy Yoga, camping and exploring new places.  So if you see me on the beach at Dawlish with my two dogs, then come and say hello!

Danielle Pritchard

Receptionist – Dawlish.

I have recently relocated to the area and somehow managed to be invited to be a part of such a truly wonderful team at Bay Vet Group. This is my first role involving animals on a professional basis and I am overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of seeing all the furries on a daily basis!

Having been born and raised in Zimbabwe I was constantly surrounded by animals (domestic and wild) and have missed being around them since leaving. I currently do not have a dog of my own though it is a work in progress with convincing the partner – so any advice is welcomed! I am however a very proud Aunty of a Bichon X Maltese that, as you can imagine, rules the roost!

Sophia Chalk

Receptionist – Teignmouth

I joined Bay Vet Group in March 2017 as I’d always had an interest in veterinary practice. I have three dogs and occasionally foster dogs as required. I am a trained canine groomer and am now working towards a degree in canine behaviour. When I’m not working or studying I enjoy training with my dogs, cooking and spending time with my family.

Receptionist – Paignton.

Clare Walker

Receptionist – Dawlish.

I started working for Bay Vet Group in August 2018 as a receptionist then joined the nursing team as a veterinary nursing assistant. I realised that I missed the client interaction on the front desk so have returned to the reception role I love.

I have always loved animals from a young age and have shared my home with a few growing up! I enjoy all aspects of my job and there is always something new for me to learn.
Most of my spare time is spent with my collie dog Millie, we can often be found exploring rock pools on the beach or investigating the ducks on the green.
