Anna was born and bred in the Borders. Originally from Morebattle, she presently lives in Hownam with her husband Damon and her four unruly but gorgeous children!

She's loving the opportunity to make forays into England to work in Powburn, and stunned on a daily basis by how beautiful the country is - in fact, it’s so bonny it could be Scotland!

They are are joined in their little piece of paradise by two dogs, a cat, a horse and a donkey.

Sandra Jobson

Animals have been a large part of Sandra's life from a very early age, having dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs while growing up, and owning all types of horses from her late teens.

She has worked with various types of horses including event, race and dressage.

Carol Moore

Carol started working in small animal practice some 13 years ago and has now joined us at Cheviot Vets. She lives near Ford with her husband John and 2 young daughters. The family is completed by 2 energetic dogs, a ferral cat and some hens.

Carol is a self-confessed nutter about animals in general and dogs in particular and is always trying to save some casualty or another.

Ami Patrick
