Mary Holder

Lead Veterinary Surgeon

I joined the practice in May 2021 and worked alongside Shamrock’s previous partners for a few months before taking the reins in August 2021. In my spare time I love being outside. I enjoy hillwalking, gardening, caving, camping and trips to the seaside. I live with my husband, son and our two wonderful Maine Coon’s named George and Rose. I graduated from Edinburgh University with distinction in 2008 and then in 2015 I completed an RCVS certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice focusing on small animal medicine. I’ve worked in small animal practices in Berkshire, Northamptonshire and West Yorkshire before settling in the Harrogate area in 2015. I enjoy all aspects of small animal general practice, including performing surgeries, diagnosing and treating complex medical cases and the general care of dogs, cats and small mammals. I like to get to know my patients and work together with their owners to give them the best possible quality of life.

I joined the practice in October 2023 and I am enjoying getting to practice veterinary medicine while in the early stages of my career. I grew up in Spain and graduated from the University of Murcia, before moving back to the UK. I am passionate about all areas of small animal veterinary medicine, with a particular interest in developing my knowledge and skills in surgery, internal medicine and ultrasonography. In my free time I enjoy long walks out in nature with my dog Oddie, as well as cuddling up on the sofa with my cat Mr Beans. I am excited to continue forming a relationship with my patients and clients, while learning and progressing within my field as a Veterinary Surgeon.

Head Veterinary Nurse

I joined the practice in 2021 after 6 years’ experience in a busy animal hospital. I qualified in 2019 after retraining from a level 3 nurse practitioner. I live with my young son, Luke and a menagerie of pets, I have Raven and Hazel as my loyal dogs, I successfully rescued Hazel many years ago. My two cats, Nusura and Lollie provide lots of cuddles at the end of the day, though not very cuddly but very interesting, my mini zoo is complete with Leo the Leopard Gecko. When not working I have my head in a gripping historical book or exploring the Yorkshire moors with my dogs finding new routes and often getting lost. I have an interest in surgery and the monitoring and recovery of anaesthesia and wish to advance my career within this area.

I joined Shamrock over 20 years ago as a Client Care Assistant, during that time I trained to become a Patient Care Assistant where my previous experience of processing laboratory samples proved invaluable. With my experience I am often called on to assist in many areas of the practice. In my spare time I enjoy social activities with friends, keeping fit by walking my two dogs, Maddie and Luna. I am particularly proud of taking myself out of my comfort zone and completing the Three Peaks.

Client Care Assistant

I Joined Medivet in 2024 after a very long career in Hospitality and Event Management. I was ready for a career change and knew I wanted to stay in a customer facing role. I love animals, so this seemed like the perfect job – and it is! I have no pets of my own (watch this space), so I take every opportunity to cuddle my friends' pets and dog sit for them. I love to travel and like to experience wild animals in their natural habitats. I have recently swum with Whale Sharks and Mantra Rays in Australia, which was a truly magical experience. I am a very hands-on person, so you can be sure that your beloved pets will get lots of love and cuddles from me. I look forwards to getting to know you all.

Mary the vet was very thorough when doing one of our cats' annual check-up and booster jab. Gilbert can be quite sensitive but he was handled with care by someone who clearly takes pride in her work and cares for her patients!

Lovely caring staff. Mary the vet couldn't be kinder to our elderly cat. We had to move when East Park practice closed, but we're very happy with the Shamrock practice.

    It is extremely important to all of our team that we deliver a high standard of care to all of our patients to maximise the probability of good clinical outcomes.
    We have recently been inspected by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons {RCVS} for the practice standards scheme and been awarded RCVS accredited status. We have also recently been approved as a nurse training practice by the RCVS.

    We're a team of animal lovers and like to look after our patients as we would our own pets. We're keen to do everything we can to help patients feel relaxed at our practice whether they're just in for a consultation or if they are admitted for a day procedure.
