Meet the team
Meet Dr Andreea Ionescu MRCVS DVLM
I am proud to be the Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon at Vets for Pets Pontypridd.
Since opening the practice in 2016 my goal has always been to provide exceptional veterinary care built on compassion, trust, and clinical excellence. I believe that great veterinary medicine is about more than diagnosing and treating illness - it's about building lasting relationships with our clients, understanding every pet's individual needs, and treating each patient as if they were one of my own.
I am incredibly proud of the dedicated team we have built at Pontypridd. Their kindness, professionalism, and commitment to outstanding patient care are at the heart of everything we do. Together, we strive to create a welcoming environment where both pets and their owners feel cared for, supported, and valued.
In 2025, I was delighted to expand by taking over Vets for Pets Llantrisant, allowing us to continue our commitment to providing high-quality veterinary care to even more pets and their families.
Thank you for trusting us with your pets. It is a privilege to care for them, and we look forward to welcoming you for many years to come

Hello! My name is Talia,
I have worked in the veterinary industry for over 5 years, dealing with a range of complex cases day to day. I decided to go into the veterinary industry because of my love and compassion for animals. I pride myself in giving gold standard care to all of my patients. I have always had an interest in veterinary as I grew up in a farming and equine environment, which naturally led me pursuing this job.
In free time I like to travel and ride my horses!
