Sarah Beckerlegge

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified from The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh in 2010 after receiving a BSc in Animal Sciences from Rutgers University in America in 2006. I joined the Thirsk team in 2013 and became a practice partner in August 2019. I am interested in consulting, preventative medicine, and the client and pet journey through the clinic in order to make it as stress free as possible. At home I have two young boys and three dogs, so whether at work or at home I am always busy.

I joined the practice at the end of 2022 as Patient Care Assistant. I have always been passionate about caring for animals and i'm excited to see where my new career in veterinary care will take me! At home I have a dog called Lola who is an unusual cross, she is a spaniel cross american bulldog, I also have some fancy pigeons. When i'm not at work, you can usually find me and Lola on a hike somewhere! I enjoy all aspects of working in a veterinary centre but especially love interacting with and caring for all the animals that come to visit us.

Patient Care Assistant

I have been a member of the Skeldale team since 2020, after developing a passion for animal welfare and completing a diploma in animal management at Askham Bryan. I started as a work experience student at Skeldale with a goal of pursuing a career of becoming a registered veterinary nurse. At work, I particularly enjoy ensuring patients are looked after to the highest standard, and recovering patients smoothly from anaesthesia. Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog Charlie in the Yorkshire countryside, and I am an active member of Young farmers, engaging with the local agricultural community.

Recently took my kittens to be microchipped the vet i saw was lovely when I asked her to confirm the sex of one of them we weren't sure of she just went right ahead and did it and explained to me how you can tell if its not evident she ran me through what to say to the new owners to pass on about injections and how to change the chip she confirmed how old they were as they were born outside we had a rough guess and the vet confirmed nothing was too much trouble for her and she wasn't pushy just said its my decision what to do if I keep any of them and feel free to contact them if any changes or I want to book them in.And definitely no judgement as it was an unplanned pregnancy.

The staff there are amazing and so friendly! They take amazing care of all my pets. Even my nervous dog gets great care as she can be aggressive at the vets and they always treat her with the same care and attention as the other pets. I actually like going to the vets now as everyone is so amazing.

Roxy was very timid because on her last visit she had blood taken so was very unsure about our visit yesterday. The vet was very understanding and said she didn't want to do anything clinical with her on this occasion and suggested a couple of confidence visits where nothing is done other than reassurance.
