Chris Troughton

Chris was born and raised on a dairy farm in Gloucester, so becoming a vet was a logical decision. However, after graduating from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1983, he went straight into small animal practice and spent four years working in a veterinary hospital in Buckinghamshire before buying the practice that became Heath Vets in 1987. In 2017, the practice joined the Independent Vetcare group, but Chris remains as Senior Clinical Director.

Chris lives in Pentyrch with his wife, two Hungarian Vizlas, and a 16 year old cat. When he's not walking the dogs, you will usually find him working in the garden, or visiting antiques fairs or auctions.
