Meet the Staff

At Vetrica we have an informal atmosphere, aimed at making you and your pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Never be afraid to ask one of our friendly staff for help if you are at all unsure about any aspect of your pet's health and welfare.

Veterinary Surgeon

Bob Hesketh

After qualifying as a vet from Glasgow University in 1991, Bob spent several years working at a number of locations around Britain before finally settling in Rosyth. Married with three children, Bob set up Vetrica single-handedly in December 2001.

"With Dunfermline expanding rapidly, and having family in Rosyth, it seemed to be the obvious place to settle. Having worked in practices with widely differing standards, I wanted to establish a surgery working to the highest possible standards, while remaining affordable."

Nurse and Reception

Audrey Marchant

Audrey has been at Vetrica since day one. Having worked with Bob in previous employment, Audrey has been in veterinary nursing since 1990, and before that with a background in animal care. Married with two children, Audrey comes from Penicuik from where she commutes to Rosyth every day. With this amount of experience, Audrey is able to answer many of your routine pet health enquiries. Audrey also runs the pet obesity clinic, and is a Hill's Pet Nutrition Counsellor, and a Pet Insurance Advisor.

Laura-Ann Hunter

A native Fifer, Laura joined us in September 2002. Initially part-time help for Saturday mornings, we were so impressed with Laura that she now works full time covering a wide range of duties from reception to nursing assistant. Laura is generally your first point of contact at Vetrica. Laura is also a qualified Hill's Pet Nutrition Counsellor and Pet Insurance Advisor, and is able to help you with a wide range of enquiries.
