Meet the Team

The team at Airedale Veterinary Group is dedicated to ensuring your pet receives the treatment and care it needs.

Peter D Eccles, BVSc, MRCVS, LVI

Peter qualified in 1981 from Liverpool University and has worked in general practice since then. At the age of fourteen Peter built an aviary at the back of his Dad's garage, in which he nursed many animals back to health.
He joined the practice in 1991, which was known as Watson & Burrows at the time. In 1998 he decided the practice should specialise in the treatment of dogs, cats and other household pets, so the practice could provide a better standard of care. Peter specialises in dermatology and cardiology.

Ken Alexander, DVMS, MRCVS, LVI

Ken also qualified in 1981, from the University of Edinburgh. Over the years Ken has worked throughout North, West and South Yorkshire.

He has been with our practice for over two years and has over 30 years of experience in all aspects of veterinary medicine. Ken has Border Terriers and has done for many years. However he also likes the idiosyncratic breed of Siamese cats. Ken specialises in soft tissue surgery and emergency medicine.
