Meet the team
Miriam Butler DVM MRCVS
Clinic owner and principal veterinary surgeon Miriam Butler is a Waterford native. She has been passionate about the care of animals for most of her life. Such was her interest, she persuaded her family to allow her adopt several pets during her childhood!
So it’s no surprise that Miriam then pursued the care of animals as a career. She has a BSc Hons in Equine studies, and a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Kosice, Slovakia. She has worked in many small practices in Ireland since graduating and was delighted to get the chance to establish her own practice in Waterford. Currently Miriam is the only vet in the practice, working alongside veterinary nurse, Emma Power, who is a huge part of the small team.

Emma has wanted to work with animals since she adopted her first cat at the age of nine! She held onto this ambition all the way through school and onto third level education. So in 2017 Emma graduated from Athlone IT with a first class honours in Veterinary Nursing.
Emma has four years experience working in busy small animal practices. As the proud mum to seven cats and two dogs, she understands the special bond between people and their pets. Emma is a self confessed ‘crazy cat lady’, and especially loves making the clinic visits for our feline patients as stress free as possible.
She recently established Whiskers & Purrs, an organisation dedicated to the rescue of unwanted kittens and cats in the South East.
