Katie Gates RVN
Pet Health Councillor, RVN
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Experience
Qualified as a Veterinary Nurse: 2004
Joined Millennium Vets: Nearly 25 years ago
Katie is one of our longest-standing team members, having trained and qualified as a veterinary nurse right here at Millennium Vets in 2004. With nearly 25 years of experience under her belt, she brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and consistency to our team.
Interests
Now a Senior Consulting Nurse and qualified Pet Health Counsellor, Katie leads a wide range of nurse consults — from claw clipping, flea checks and mobility assessments to senior pet clinics, weight loss support, and new puppy guidance. Her warm and practical approach is appreciated by pets and owners alike.
Katie is especially passionate about helping pets live healthier, happier lives — whether through managing long-term conditions, improving mobility, or supporting behaviour and weight management.
Her genuine love for the job still shines through every day:
“Even after all these years, I still love what I do — and love being part of MVP.”
Activities
Outside of work, Katie is kept busy by her much-loved pets:
🐩 Dolly, a 16-year-old poodle cross
🐕 Minnie, an 11-year-old terrier (a former MVP stray!)
🐹 Guinea pigs Pip, Posy & Smudge
