Sydney Nagle MVB MRCVS is the principal of Cara Veterinary Group. Having qualified from University College Dublin in 1982, he spent a year working with large animals. Following that, he travelled to South Africa to work for a welfare organisation in the animal rescue centres, where he became an expertly skilled surgeon. He soon became their Chief Veterinarian and resided there for 12 years.
Upon his return to Ireland in 1995, he purchased and developed the Animal Clinic in Castleknock and a branch clinic at the Phoenix Park Gate. He then relocated the Castleknock branch to the River Road in Ashtown and remained there for 7 years.
