Devon Seaton MRCVS
Having worked in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Scotland and now England, I feel that I have found my home here in Louth. When I am not working at the best job ever, I can be found walking with my savage hounds, writing fantasy novels, playing musical instruments or upon the nearest enactment field with some burly folk clad in armour swinging axes at my head.
I joined the ELEV and Blacksheep vets team in September of 2022 with my wonderful wife, Lindsey.
These are clinics dedicated to serving the community and striving for excellence in veterinary medical care, as such, there were high expectations for me when joining. With their strong emphasis on teamwork and patient care, they’ve guided me to becoming the vet I am today and now, together, we strive for the gold standard of veterinary care whilst maintaining the Louth spirit and values in everything we do.
