Job Description

Ready for a change? Come and join our lovely growing team and truly be a part of building something as the founding team of a brand new practice.

Luna The Dental Vets is the brain child of Dr Joe Inglis MRCVS and Louise Cooke who have come together after decades in the industry to build something truly different to support pets to access fixed price, affordable expert dental care.

In 2025 we opened our first practice in Bristol and in early 2026 our second in Wokingham, which now has grown to multiple dental suites and our centre of excellence offering fixed price, affordable advanced dental procedures taking external and internal referrals.
