Carmen qualified from Madrid University in 2015. Shortly after, she moved to the UK and completed an internship in a small animal practice in Hampshire. After finishing this she started working as a veterinary surgeon. Carmen moved to Kent in 2018 and started working at Maison Dieu. In her spare time she enjoys playing with her dog, who she rescued from Spain, and really enjoys hiking and cycling.

Jessica qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2011, with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medical Science, a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and a Bachelor of Veterinary Surgery. She spent the first few years of her career working at one of the busiest small animal charity hospitals in the country, where she gained extensive experience in surgical techniques. After a period of living and working as a locum in Brighton, Jessica has moved back home to Kent, and started practising at Maison Dieu in January 2018.

Caroline first decided that she wanted to be a vet when she was four years old. Now having worked as a vet for almost 20 years, she definitely knows what “being a vet” involves and, despite it being a tough vocation, she still absolutely loves it. Initially Caroline worked in mixed practice for three years before concentrating solely on small animals. She spent six years working nights specialising in emergency medicine and critical care before returning to day practice with Maison Dieu Veterinary Group. When not being a vet Caroline is a full-time mum to three children and who are all mad, keen animal lovers.
