Meet the Team

Pet care is a very personal business and client relationships are truly important to us. Our the friendly veterinary team can't wait to meet you and your pets.
Gregory Elliott

Practice Owner

MBA

I have more than 25 years’ of experience working with customers and nothing makes me happier than knowing we delivered on our word.

The idea for Live Well Vets was born over a cup of coffee (maybe a glass of bubbly). Having had pets for most of my life, I knew there were some things we could do differently and we hope you notice the difference with Live Well Vets.

Interesting fact: I hold a Guinness World Record for running a marathon whilst tied to over 126 other runners…
