Suzanne Young

I initially qualified with an Agriculture degree 39 years ago (I know, it only seems like yesterday!) then followed it up with a veterinary degree and whilst I initially worked in mixed practice, joining the team at Holmefield has allowed me to concentrate on small animal medicine and pursue my interests in preventative health and investigative medicine.

I love getting to know families and their pets and being able to help them care for them throughout their lives. Working with happy, friendly and competent people and working towards the same caring standards in an ever-advancing modern environment is a constant joy and essential for a happy life.

In the past, I have evented horses after re-schooling them, played rugby and done kick-boxing but my current sporting passion is cyclocross. It involves a commitment to training as well as competing and winning my age bracket in the local league is a good incentive to keep the pressure on.

We are down to just one dog now, who is getting older but still gives lots of pleasure and entertainment as well as companionship. Having had a few dogs over the years, I have come to enjoy the changes that their advancing years bring and consequently enjoy working towards a better quality of life for all our elderly patients.
