SIÂN BURWOOD

MA VetMB MRCVS

Professional Bio

Siân was your typical kid who loved animals and science, and so spent most of her teenage years on farms and in kennels to realise her ambition of going to vet school. Graduating from Cambridge in 2011, she has worked in independent small animal general practice ever since. Her passion in veterinary medicine is contextualised care; ensuring the best welfare for pets and their owners by seeing every family for their individual circumstances, knowing that the goal is happy healthy pets at home.

Outside of work, Siân is a keen dressmaker and yogi, and does both as often as her young family will allow her to.

Siân’s Pets

Siân has a fluffy ginger cat called Xanthe, who she rescued from her practice.

Writing allows creativity as a scientist, and a way to communicate to a wider audience so more people and pets can be helped.
