About Us
About The Practice
Pawsome Vets is based at beautiful, clean, newly-fitted premises, offering spacious consult rooms, state-of-the-art equipment, modern theatres, and welfare-optimised kennels. As a previous GP surgery, the space was the perfect fit for a new, independent, veterinary practice to serve the pets and pet owners of Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, and Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
Sergiu Grigorita DVM MRCVS
Sergiu graduated from University of Iasi, in Romania, in July 2015. He inherited his passion for animals from his father, who is a veterinary nurse and animal lover who owns a small holding with many small and large animals. Sergiu’s father gave him the opportunity to grow up near animals and recognise that this was also what he wanted for his future. Soon after graduating as a veterinary surgeon, Sergiu decided to live in the UK, and began working in a mixed practice where he enjoyed treating all domestic species. After spending a couple of years in a mixed practice and developing a passion for surgery, Sergiu decided to focus on small animals. When not at work, Sergiu enjoys spending time with his wife and cycling.

Allison Irvine – Admin
Ali’s career in the veterinary industry began in 2017, initially working for an orthopaedic referral practice and latterly for a first opinion practice, which is the sector she has remained in, working as a receptionist and administrator. Prior to that she had worked in canine hydrotherapy, but her early career was split between the hospitality industry and training roles in the public sector, including Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire County Council. In 2016 she joined some friends in founding the Irish Wolfhound Charitable Trust, the only dedicated, registered Wolfhound charity in the UK, after owning Wolfhounds for several years and wanting to do more to promote and help the breed. Ali’s passion for giant breeds began with her first Neapolitan Mastiff in 1994 and after that things snowballed and she has had the pleasure of owning many of these fabulous dogs and being ‘human slave’ to Neo’s, St Bernards and Irish Wolfhounds. She enjoys various aspects of dog ownership and actively promotes breed health and began showing dogs at championship level in 2004 and has also proudly shown her dogs at Crufts for many years. Ali and her husband spend much of their spare time with their 3 dogs: Albert the St Bernard, Ernie the Bulldog and Onslow the Bulldog puppy.

Jill Rawlings2024-06-20Excellent vets, take time to explain things, very informative and caring, definitely recommend.
Joanne Vincent2024-06-19Absolutely brilliant practice. Went with an emergency, we wasn't even registered and they sorted us straight away. I would highly recommend them to anyone - thank you pawsome vets on behalf of Luna and myself 🐕❤️
Jane Anthony2024-06-16Highly recommend this practice. Sorted our dogs problem in two weeks. The same issue she had been suffering with since Christmas and hadn’t shown any improvement at our original vets. Everything is explained thoroughly and compassionately. By far the best vets we have seen for a very long time. We have no hesitation in recommending them, in fact we actively encourage people to register as soon as possibly.
Bex -2024-06-07We was registered with another vets and other than taking our dog for his 6monthly healthchecks through his pet plan there, he' never needed any treatment however he was always so anxious throughout his healthcheck even just arriving in the car park so when Jack started limping and we wanted him checking we knew going would be extremely stressful for him so we decided to look for somewhere else and found Pawsome Vets. To be honest I am so thankful we did, I registered first thing in the morning and by 9.30 had an appointment for that same day. We had his Consultation with Sergiu and he was a very friendly vet, geuine and kind almost identifying immediately what he thought it was, he explained everything and was very thorough and Jack didn't seem anxious at all. We arranged for him to go back for xrays and again when we arrived Jack ran into the vets and wasn't anxious at all. The xrays confirmed what Sergiu had said. Since that point I have had a few calls with Pawsome vets just to ask a few other questions and whether it be the vet himself, Amber, Ali aswell as the other vet they have been nothing but helpful and helped us make a decision on a way forward aswell as sorting the claim through our insurance. I feel v grateful we came across this vetinary practice and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you team for excellent care of Jack and customer service 5🌟

Michelle Hewson2024-05-16100%recomend pawsome vets! I always get an appointment when I need one, which with 6 dogs I need! My dogs suffer from allergies and I have one with breaking damage who is reactive. The staff and vets here are so patient with them especially my reactive boy, and have strived to build positive relationships with all of my dogs. Ali the receptionist / general angel! Goes a million miles extra for you and it means we come away worry free!
Laura2024-05-14Been so long since I came across a vets that genuinely care and are not out to rip you off. From the initial phone call with concerns about our dog to the consultation itself. He explained everything to me. Including a breakdown of costs. I felt like I could trust them and that they would do all they could to help our sick dog. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Amazing veterinary surgery
