Our Team | Fishguard Vets

Andrew Clemence
BVMS MRCVS

Andrew is the sole owner of Fishguard Vets. He graduated from Glasgow University in 1986 and moved to Pembrokeshire in 1988. He has built a large client base, with some travelling the whole county and beyond for his expertise. Andrew enjoys any challenges that mixed practice brings and is at home carrying out dairy herd fertility, first opinion equine or undertaking technical medical or surgical small animal cases.
His biggest achievement to date was constructing a purpose-built practice, which opened in September 2015.

Pets owned: What hasn’t he owned! Currently, he has chickens, a cat called Walter, a dalmatian Vera and a Boston Terrier Violet.

Quote: “I enjoy de-stressing by playing squash for the local team and water skiing our beautiful coastline. You can often find me trying out the local restaurants with my family.”

Ryan Davies
BVM&S MRCVS

As Ryan was growing up he was often found undertaking work experience with Andrew gaining as much knowledge as possible. He graduated from Edinburgh in 2002.
Ryan’s main area of interest are dairy cow fertility and herd productivity, using our in-house software to analyse farm data and monitor performance; specifically pregnancy rates and milk production.

Pets owned: Goats, Chickens and birds of prey.

Quote: “There is nothing like finishing work on a summer’s day and heading for a surf. I enjoy exploring the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline.”

Angus Clemence
BVMS MRCVS

Born and bred in Fishguard, Angus qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2016 and, after initially working at Fishguard Vets he moved to the Midlands to gain further mixed animal experience. The lure of Pembrokeshire and the chance to pursue his hobbies of surfing and waterskiing drew him back to Fishguard. Angus was excited to renew his relationship with our local clients and has great enthusiasm to involve himself in dairy herd fertility programmes, long term health planning on all farms, alongside developing his medical and surgical companion animal skills.

Pets owned: Frida, a Staffie and Nora a French Pointer.

Quote: “I cannot wait to be living close to the sea again, spending my days off on the water and starting a family.”

Palesa Amanda Mthenjane
MRCVS

Palesa is a City girl turned rural vet. She is a serious coffee, food and hiking enthusiast. Recently certified scuba diver and very much looking forward to exploring the local area. Avid traveller.

Quote: “I cannot say no to a new experience or adventure.”

Claudia Talbot
BVM&S MRCVS

I’m not from Fishguard

But I do work really hard

I’ll take the best care of your cat

But all the chippies might make me fat

I love the sea

And I hope you love me

I’m ready to explore the ocean

And kickstart my vet career into motion

I really love the way you Welsh speak

Even though you’ve warned me the winters are bleak

Within this practice I hope to peak

Or even find myself a local lad

And stay forever you will be glad
