 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.
