Meet Your Vets
DR. INGEBORG LINDHOLM
Ingeborg enjoys most aspects of the veterinary life, even the smelly bits! She has shared her home with many cats, dogs, rescues and other species. Her soft spot for dalmatians is not shared by her cat Duncan, but neither is her love of swimming, gardening or “walking” her exuberant dalmatian Lucca.
DR. LINDSAY WRIGHT
Lindsay enjoys all aspects of first opinion work, especially surgery, ultrasonography and dentistry. Outside of work she can be found cycling or walking in the Scottish mountains. She has a mischievous young border terrier named Fern who keeps her on her toes!
DR. NINA GAMMAGE
Nina qualified in 2011 and joined the Pet Practice in 2024 after working in mixed practice all over the country. Her main interests are surgery and management of older patients, with particular focus on those with mobility or pain issues. Outside of work you will find her exploring Scotland with her dog, Coll and you may often spot them in the grounds around the hospital. Coll is also part of the teaching staff, helping out at the student teaching kennels
Recbecca Owler
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Rebecca qualified from SRUC Oatridge in 2017. During her training she spent time in the small animal hospital which she really enjoyed but loves the variety of general practice, especially surgery and anaesthesia. She has been a clinical coach for over 5 years, which involves teaching the next generation of veterinary nurses. When the opportunity came up to join the growing team at the Pet Practice, supporting final year vet students rotate through first opinion general practice, it sounded like an amazing experience for her.
In her spare time Rebecca enjoys exploring new walks and discovering beaches of Scotland with her Dalmatian Nevis who is always getting up to mischief. She also enjoys paddle boarding and watching the rugby.
Tanya Valerio
Receptionist
You’ll usually see Tanya behind the desk when you arrive at the Pet Practice, or speak to her on the phone if you call us (you'll recognise the Alabama drawl!). She is the Pet Practice’s Cat Advocate and self-proclaimed Crazy Cat Lady (and also part of the Bearsden-based cat rescue and rehoming charity CATFLAP), but your pets - of any species - are ** all ** her favourites!
Tanya is from a human medical-research background; she fell in love with the veterinary/animal rescue world when she moved to Glasgow and has been fortunate to have been able to make a career change to doing something that she loves.
She is currently slave to owned by two cats, Duncan and Flynne.
Stacy Callaghan
Receptionist
Stacy has been with the University of Glasgow Pet Practice as a Receptionist from the very beginning. she has two tiny dogs of her own who you may find commandeering her knee at the reception desk from time to time. Stacy has a background in accounts, customer services and studied music management at college, as well as science. she is also a fully qualified dog groomer. She has an interest in animal behaviour and fear free training. In her free time, she enjoys travelling, going to the cinema, gigs and art exhibitions.
OUR HISTORY
The University of Glasgow Pet Practice was set up in 2022 to provide the pets of Glasgow and the surrounding areas with a primary care veterinary clinic. This clinic allows students studying here, to experience what is like to work in a general primary care practice, building on the skills they gain within charity organisations such as the PDSA and SSPCA.
The practice is based within the well-established small animal hospital here on the Garscube Estate, and not only benefits from access to the state-of-the-art facilities, but also access to the wider, specialist referral teams within the hospital should your pet require care beyond the scope of our primary care practice.
