Federica’s special interest is in surgery and she is currently studying for her advanced certificate in this area. She is married with a daughter and has a Dachshund called Tina.

Joana is Portuguese and moved to England in 2014. Joana’s particular interest is in Internal Medicine and she is looking to complete a certificate in Feline Medicine within the next few years. Together with Ovi, Joana is our other Official Veterinarian, so she can also complete pet passports. Off work, Joana enjoys exploring the English countryside with her family and her dog Brian.

Ovi originally comes from Romania, but moved to England in 2015 where he worked very hard mastering the English language and developing his veterinary skills. Ovi has a particular interest in surgery. He is also one of our Official Veterinarians, meaning he is able to complete pet passports.

Verity graduated in 2017 from the Royal Veterinary College and came to the Ark in 2018 after starting her career off in another CVS practice. She particularly enjoys surgery but also has a special interest in feline medicine and diseases of geriatric cats. At home Verity enjoys baking amazing cakes!
