We work with a number of guest experts for a range of specialties.

Veerle Dejonckheere

Message from Veerle:

“I am very happy to be able to join Iris and her team in her new adventure offering complementary veterinary medicine consults within her practice. This can be for Peacocks veterinary surgery clients but I will also see patients from other practices.

I am a fully qualified veterinary surgeon with an international reputation as an expert in integrated veterinary care established through fifteen years of experience combining conventional medicine and complementary approaches in my professional practice.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the University of Ghent, Belgium in 2001. I worked for two years in a large animal practice in France then came to the UK in 2003. Over the next five years I worked at conventional small animal practices throughout the country, and spent several months as a volunteer with animal charities in Samos and Bhutan. In 2009 I joined the SMART Clinic, Cardiff, one of the first sport medicine specialist centres in the country. My practice there was focused on sports medicine and rehabilitation, leading me to acquire depth in my experience as an acupuncturist. Since 2011 I have been running a thriving referral service offering integrated veterinary care, now including acupuncture, chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise, nutrition and herbal medicine, in the Bath and Bristol area. My aim is to work together with the referring conventional vet to maximise the well-being of the animal at all stages of its life. Mostly I treat dogs, but I also love treating cats. Herbal prescriptions are bespoke and will be dispensed from my own herbal pharmacy using high quality controlled practitioner only formulas. Most insurances will cover this aspect of veterinary care.”
