Elinor Jones

Branch Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2012 and have spent my time working in companion animal clinics in South Wales. I joined Medivet in 2018 as a mobile vet working within the six practices. I became a branch partner in the Dinas Powys clinic in December 2022. I enjoy all aspects of the role but am particularly fond of medicine, rabbits and guinea pigs. My hobbies include fishkeeping, knitting and crocheting. In my spare time I can normally be found looking after my cats, dog, turtles and fish.
