Vets - Assistants Page


Richard Brain - BVetMed, MRCVS

Richard has run a mixed practice in Honiton for the last 33 years.



Born and bred in Wem, North Shropshire, Richards father was a vet in a farm practice. He ran the practice single handed for over 10 years so the phone was busy 24 hours a day!

Richard enjoys singing on the tenor line in the 'Sheldon Singers', a Honiton based choir and playing baritone in the local brass band. He also enjoys long distance cycling holidays and has cycled in the Pyreness, Corsica and Johns O Groats to Lands End. In September this year he is riding in Tuscany with a local cycling club.

Richard has 3 children and 4 grandchildren who he dotes over! 3 girls living in East Coker and a boy in Brackley whos father is in small animal practice. Will he be a 4th generation vet?!
