Cara Dowkes
RVN C-SQP
Registered Veterinary Nurse - Ripon, Northallerton
A bit about me...
Cara qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) and C-SQP at the College of Animal Welfare in April 2025. During her training, she particularly enjoyed anaesthesia, medical nursing, and pharmacology.
Before entering veterinary practice, Cara worked with a wide variety of animals, from marmosets and parrots to hawks, vultures, and sea lions, having previously gained qualifications in Zoo and Collections Management.
Did you know?
At home, Cara and her partner share their lives with Pepe Le Pew, a handsome tuxedo rescue cat. They also have a gecko and a snake - she is a lover of all animals, but cats definitely hold a special place in her heart.
When she is not surrounded by animals, you’ll most likely find her curled up with a good book and a large coffee in hand.
