Louise joined Mildmay in October 2014 as a canine hydrotherapist. She recently graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a degree in animal management that she completed at Sparsholt College. During her studies, she was able to explore several aspects of animal care, including veterinary nursing. She enjoyed this so much she has now joined our nursing team! Louise remains passionate about animal rehabilitation, in particular how it can improve the lives of older pets with conditions such as arthritis. She shares her life with husband Tony, a beach loving Labrador called Paddy and a very lively Cocker Spaniel called Riley. They spend as much time as possible out and about and especially enjoy doggy holidays in the West Country and Wales – anywhere with a dog-friendly beach is fine by Paddy!
