One of Scotland’s leading veterinary referral centres has appointed a renowned emergency and critical care specialist to its team.
Tobias Grave’s arrival at Linnaeus-owned Veterinary Specialists Scotland heralds a new chapter at the state-of-the-art facility and will further enhance its intensive care treatment.
Tobias, an American, European and RCVS-Recognised Veterinary Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care, studied veterinary medicine at Hanover University in Germany, graduating in 1999, before moving to the UK in 2002 and embarking on what has become an illustrious career in emergency veterinary care with roles in cities including London, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
