Melissa Frater
Veterinary Receptionist
Melissa grew up locally on a farm in Northumberland, surrounded by an array of animals, including sheep, cattle, dogs, and chickens. This love for animals throughout her life led her to complete a BSc Animal Science degree at Newcastle University, graduating with a first in 2021.
After taking a particular interest in animal health and therapy, she pursued training to become a Canine Hydrotherapist, qualifying from Hawksmoor Hydrotherapy Centre in 2023. She now continues to develop her knowledge in the field by undertaking further part-time study.
Outside of work, Melissa loves walking on the beach and spending time with her jackadoodle, Phoebe.
