Jennifer Macindoe, BVMS MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon
Hello, I'm Jennifer! I qualified as a Veterinarian from Glasgow University in 2011 and went straight into mixed practice (cows/sheep, the lot!) for about 6 months before deciding my main interests were with cats and dogs, I've been very lucky to work in some beautiful areas of the UK including Edinburgh, Troon and the Lake District.
In 2017 I went on a world trips for 16 months and volunteered at animal shelters in Nepal, India and Thailand before working as a locum in Australia for an exciting 5 months. I currently live in Belgium and joined the Joii team in April 2020. I love the flexibility of the job continually learning from my amazing colleagues.
In my spare time I love to travel and I regularly pet sit abroad, in the past few years petsitting has taken me to Barbados, France, Guatemala and many other exotic destinations. I love being outdoors, walking in the woods and you can often find me wild swimming and snorkelling.
