 Sarah Spinks, DipCW, VN

Director, Co-Founder

Sarah has spent over two decades in the veterinary and wider pet care industry. As a qualified veterinary nurse (RVN), she began her career in clinical practice in both the UK and New Zealand. This hands-on background gives Sarah a unique perspective, understanding the pressures, priorities, and dynamics within practice-based teams, from client communication to workflow, team wellbeing, and patient care.

​

She later moved into strategic roles across charities, education, and agencies, expanding her impact and helping organisations engage and educate pet owners at scale. Through this, she developed a passion for education as a driver of change.

​

With her breadth of experience, Sarah bridges the gap between clinical practice and effective communication. Whether supporting an independent veterinary practice or working at a wider industry level, she knows how to connect with teams and pet owners in a way that builds trust, drives action, and delivers lasting impact.
