Dr. Craig Horton obtained a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine from the Royal Veterinary College - University of London in 2010.
He began his career working in a busy 24 hour small animal hospital in the London area. During this time, Craig performed routine surgeries and assisted with more complex surgical procedures. He managed hospitalised and critical care patients, including treatments and care plans and managing wounds, and worked up cases with an emphasis on diagnosing the underlying disease process.
In addition to this, Craig found time to act as a Clinical coach/mentor to a student veterinary nurse where he was responsible for demonstrating key skills and practices as set by RCVS guidelines.
At Ettrick we enjoy his sense of humour and his caring and gentle nature with animals and their humans. Craig is our resident expert on all kinds of trivia! He enjoys running and swimming and likes socialising and meeting new people.

Dr. Laura Tucker is a Bermudian and has spent her summers from an early age working in several of Bermuda’s practices. As a veterinary student, Laura reinforced her formal training by working through her vacations at Ettrick animal hospital in various positions including reception, kennels and nursing.
She was educated in UK and Bermuda before going to Grenada to study veterinary medicine at the US school of St. Georges University. Laura took the opportunity to travel and completed her degree in Perth, Australia at Murdoch University. She passed the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam in 2010. Following one of her pre grad courses in acupuncture, and subsequently treating a dog for severe back pain, she decided to study to become a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist.
When not at work or studying Laura likes to spend time with her animals on long walks or teaching tricks. In her spare time she also likes to play field hockey and in the summer enjoys a leisurely boat trip and paddle boarding.
