My name is Amber Maggio (previously Perryman). Originally from the Lake District in northern England and growing up on a steady diet of pets, horses, rescued wildlife and James Herriot novels I always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.

At 18 I started on the path to my dream, beginning my studies reading Veterinary Medicine at the Royal Veterinary College, London.. and what a rollercoaster ride it has been since (you can see my resume here) - landing me in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains.

I treat both small animals (dogs, cats, bunnies, and small pocket pets) and horses. My career has been primarily equine, however I have always kept a hand in the small animal side to ensure my skills are well-rounded, including urgent care and emergency work. I have worked in hospitals both equine and small animal in the UK and the USA, completing both an internship and ABVP residency (equine - DABVP status pending).

I am available for relief services to local clinics for any small animal or equine work and hope to be available for house call and local clients soon.

My ethos: I want to uphold the human - animal bond and provide personal, holistic care. I want to make sure clients are fully informed and a partner on the journey with their beloved pet. I will look after you (or your clients) to the best of my ability. No question is “silly”; my job is to answer - and if I don’t know, find out!
