Meet Abbie, a wonderful addition to the Whiskers Vets team, who qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2021. Growing up just outside Postbridge on Dartmoor, Abbie’s love for animals began early, and she’s carried that passion throughout her career. She enjoys all aspects of her role, but particularly loves being involved in operations and procedures—whether she’s acting as the anaesthetic nurse or scrubbing in to assist the Veterinary Surgeons.

Abbie is a perfect fit for our “fear-free” approach with her calming nature and gentle touch, ensuring every pet feels at ease during their visit. Outside of work, Abbie spends time with her black Labrador, Fizz, and riding her Irish sports horse, George, who’s a sprightly 21 years old. She also has a Dartmoor hill pony named Peanut and volunteers with the Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony charity.

Her dedication to animals, both in and out of the clinic, makes Abbie a cherished and invaluable member of our team!
