Philip Geddes B.V.Sc. MRCVS

Phil was raised and educated in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, gaining a veterinary degree at the University of Zimbabwe in 1987. He worked in a predominantly cattle and equine practice in the Eastern part of Zimbabwe before taking time out to visit India, Nepal and Pakistan. He arrived in the UK very much lighter in weight and finances. Job hunting for a mixed practice brought him to Bridgend in October 1992.

Phil is still interested in mixed practice although small animal work takes up most of his time today. Based at the main branch in Bridgend, he is a member of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and gained a Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling from Southampton University in 2003.

Karen Davies B.V.Sc. MRCVS

Karen qualified from the University of Bristol in 1990 and, apart from a 12 month period 'Down Under', has worked at the practice ever since. She has spent many years working with farm animals and horses, but since opening the Llantrisant branch in 2001, more of her time is now taken up looking after the smaller companion animals.

Karen enjoys surgery, ophthalmology and has a special interest in canine reproduction. She is also able to use accupuncture where appropriate. Karen has been involved with the regional British Veterinary Association for some years and is currently president of the South Wales division.
