Tracey Topliss
Practice Manager
Tracey joined Buttercross in December 2017. Bringing with her 20 years experience as a dental practice manager, she is looking forward to transferring her skills over to the veterinary world by supporting the team, meeting our clients and, of course, all the animals! Outside of work Tracey shows her three English bulldogs, Blossom, Bluebell and Charles and is kept very busy with her four pugs, Poppy, Daisy, Lily and Annie.
Sue Fenton
Receptionist
Sue joined the practice as a receptionist in October 2019. She has a background in health and social care but has always been passionate about animals, owning her first puppy at the age of seven. Sue and her husband have re-homed eight rescue dogs, and her current 'family' consist of Finn, a Border Collie, Harper a Belgian Shepherd/Collie cross and the 'old boy' Dexter, who is a GSD cross. Her hobbies include scent-work with Harper, and as team they have achieved Level 3 and hope to go on to complete Level 4 early in 2020.
Sue has enjoyed training puppies and adult dogs for the last three years with a local dog school, focusing on socialisation and general obedience and still found time to volunteer at an animal hydrotherapy therapy centre in Staffordshire. She hopes to put these experiences and skills to good use at Buttercross Vets and is very excited to meet a whole new set of people and animals whilst on the reception desk.

Previous to her job here, she worked as a teaching assistant in Radcliffe On Trent, breaking the saying 'never work with animals or children'! Dawn is married with two daughters, two dogs called Alfie (a Pug) and Biff (a Staffie), and a cat called Bella.
