The team at Peacock Vets, Corsham’s independent practice, has expanded over the past three years, and continues to do so.

As the practice grows, we have needed different and additional skills which our friendly, helpful and pet-focussed team deliver in abundance.

All of the team strive to treat the pets who visit us as we would our own, whilst delivering a comprehensive range of veterinary, complementary and behavioural services. We understand that pets are part of the family, and we enjoy celebrating your pets with you and supporting you when they are poorly.

As we expand the number of clients that we care for, we have needed to take on other vets, for example, our most recent team member, Lizzi. Lizzi offers all the experience and services that you would expect from a fully qualified vet as well as the expected Peacock Vets welcoming smile and care. She especially enjoys working with cats as she finds them medically very interesting. She is also particularly expert in emergency and critical care procedures together with acute and chronic pain management.

Esme, our newest Animal Care Assistant joined us to ensure that all patients are looked after when they are hospitalised with us. She feeds them, takes them out for toileting, cleans them as necessary and generally pampers them during their stay. She also helps to prepare for any surgical procedures – having instruments and equipment ready, assisting our registered vet nurses in caring for patients during anaesthetic etc. and she also ensures everything is sterilised before and after surgery.

Esme will also help the vets with any patient handling during general procedures such as clipping nails; holding pets during vaccinations as well as helping out on reception when needed. Having received more than 100 applicants for the two positions that we had available, you can be sure that our Animal Care Assistants are very talented and motivated.

As well as our permanent team members, we also work alongside Veerle, a complimentary therapy vet. She offers herbal therapies, acupuncture, therapeutic exercises and holistic treatments. Veerle also assists our other vets, Iris, Jan and Lizzi with more complex cases, if needed.

As with humans, pets can have behavioural issues, too, so we are delighted to offer behaviourist services. Karen is passionate about helping humans and pets work together to solve any behaviour issues that may arise. She runs a desensitisation programme; ‘puppy parties’ to assist your new puppy arrivals settle in and get used to other puppy pals as well as bespoke advice, training and handling guidance. Open to all, her services are extremely competitively priced for Peacock Vets clients.

We are proud of the range of expertise, specialisms and care that we offer to pets from in and around Corsham as well as the friendly, supportive and approachable service provided by our fantastic team. We hope that you agree!
