Please read on to see some encouraging comments from previous superstar students after spending some time in our clinic!

  • "Having 2 weeks of placement at Your Family Vet was one of the most memorable and inspiring experiences I've ever had. I can tell every staff in the clinic love their job so much and they are all so kind and patient that they always teach and share useful tips with me. I have been provided with so many hands on experiences there and gained a lot more confidence in my clinical skills. Will definitely recommend any vet students to come in the future!"

  • “I cannot sing the praise of Your Family Vet enough! From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel welcome and a part of their brilliant team. They were all endlessly patient, keen to teach and asked for my thoughts on particular cases which helped to boost my confidence and competence. They see a diverse caseload and practice the highest quality of medicine but are still so down-to-earth. I would highly encourage any vet students to complete a placement with YFV!”

  • “The team at Your Family Vet couldn't have been more welcoming and supportive! All of the staff were so kind, helpful and patient. I learnt so much from the vets, nurses and practice owners, who were more than willing to answer all of my questions and allow me to perform multiple tasks and not just be a shadow in the background.

    Couldn't recommend YFV enough 👌”

    • Kobi, 2022

  • “I had such a valuable experience at Your Family Vet. Every member of the team was willing to take extra time to teach me tasks when I was not sure what to do, or have discussions about the cases that were going on. I felt like a member of the team myself, which made for an excellent learning environment. I would highly recommend doing placement at Your Family Vet for an opportunity at hands on experience!”

    • Gab, 2022

  • “I’m so lucky to have spent two weeks with the incredibly knowledgeable, fun and supportive team at Your Family Vet. I’ve learned so much and continuously been reminded of why I chose to study Veterinary Medicine in the first place. Thank you for all your time, wisdom and for making me so welcome!”
