Staff at All Animals

Lizzie Rigby graduated from Liverpool University in 1999. Lizzie worked within the Cheshire area for five years, taking sole charge of a practice there in 2000. Lizzie started the new All Animals team in January 2005, focusing on domestic animal veterinary care with a special interest in racing pigeons, small animal medicine and acupuncture.

Lizzie has 4 dogs, Dobbo the staffordshire bull terrier, Terror the springer spaniel, Badger the labrador, and Stitch the munsterlander, as well as Colin James the practice cat.

Joanne Mellor qualified with a BSc degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2003. Having worked within the practice as head nurse since 2005, Jo was promoted to Practice Manager in 2008. The practice gained nurse training status in 2008, for which Jo is relishing the role of nurse assessor, responsible for ‘on the job’ training of Lisa, Emma and Rebecca.

 

Jo has a special interest in Feline Behaviour which helps with her motley crew of pussy cats; Rigsby, Wilma, Peanut, Butter, Cookie and the recent addition of orphan kitten Bean. Jo also found room for Daisy, who you some of you may know as the slightly wonkey Terrier-cross found most days relaxing behind reception at All Animals.

Lisa Cheaveau is the practice’s longest serving member of staff.  She has sucessfully completed the Veterinary Care Assistant Course, and after All Animals was granted nurse training pracice status in 2008, Lisa commenced on her formal Veterinary Nurse training.  Lisa passed her first year with flying colours, and is now in the process of completing the second year with the aim of gaining qualified vet nurse status in summer 2010.

 

Lisa is the proud owner of the aristocratic cat William (known as Billy to his friends), who claimed the Cheaveau’s home as his own a few years back!

Emma Stockley, having gained a distinction in Animal Care at Writtle College joined the All Animals team in late 2007. In 2008 Emma successfully completed a puppy training qualification, and in summer 2009 she completed the COAPE "Think Dog!" course. Emma is now responsible for the puppy training classes run weekly at All Animals vet clinic. Emma began her formal veterinary nurse training in September 2009.

 

Emma shares her home with her rescue bunny named Cass, and a guinea pig named Drat.
