Vets

Gabriel Chida

Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

BVSc, MRCVS, PG Dip Bus Admin, MBA

Read Gabriel Chida bio

I have been in practice for over 16 years, eight of which I spent in a seaside town in North Somerset. I am interested in all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery although I have indulged my special interest in orthopaedics. I have varied experience in general practice work including emergency care. I have accrued bags of knowledge through professional development programmes from reputable institutions such as the North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC), BSAVA and Western Veterinary Conference (WVC). I am an avid reader and such a keen learner. I have recently acquired a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) with the Open University (UK). I like having a laugh as the day progresses. I enjoy travelling and football. At home I am owned by my 'Ginger Tom' and my 'Three Little Angels'. My wish is to ensure the best possible care for your pets and your conscience. I look forward to meeting you, your 'furry' loved ones and to enter into an everlasting relationship doing what we do best.

I have been a vet for over 20 years since graduating from The University College, Dublin in 1987. In that time I have worked for small animal and equine practices in the UK. I have also travelled across Australia, which gave me the chance to work with a whole host of 'critters'. I'm a keen bird watcher and live near Bristol with my partner and our two children.

I have been a vet for over 25 years and have worked in all sorts of veterinary practice, including private practice and the charity organisations RSPCA and PDSA. I also practised for a brief spell in The United Arab Emirates. I have treated horses, farm animals and pets, but have concentrated on working with pets for the past 20 years. I am also a practising artist, regularly showing my work in galleries around Bristol and Bath, and have a keen interest in the visual arts. I live in Bristol with my wife, two dogs and a cat.

My name is Kosheila. I grew up in Malaysia. I came over to study veterinary medicine at the University of Bristol in 2008. Qualified in 2014. Since then, I have worked in first opinion and referral practices and referral hospitals. I spent a few years up north in Lincoln and Durham with a referral practice and hospital. I undertook a rotating internship. I then moved down south to Weymouth and worked for a referral practice. I’ve worked in rural settings and cities around London, Somerset, Wales, Bristol, Dorset and Devon. I travelled around India, Toronto, Malaysia with work and rescue charities. I decided to move back to Bristol over a year ago. I’m excited to be with the Brislington Vets4Pets Team. My interest is in Surgery, Cardiology and Imaging. I love the community feel here in Bristol. I’m glad to be back. I am a big foodie! I love the diversity and culinary options Bristol has to offer. During my free time I enjoy walks and hikes.

Andrea grew up in a small town in South Africa. She qualified from Onderstepoort, the University of Pretoria in 2021 and then moved across to Bristol in 2022. This is not the first time she embraced the change from sunny South Africa to the rainy UK. She lived in Yorkshire previously back in 2014.

Andrea enjoys the medicine side of vet-life with a particular interest in diagnostic imaging, clinical pathology, client education and patient care. When she is not busy looking after patients she enjoys traveling, hiking, staying active and even baking.

Nurses

Head Veterinary Nurse

Read Rachel Andrews bio

I have been working in Veterinary Practice since 2003 and gained my Veterinary Nursing Qualification in 2007. I have always been a massive animal lover and being able to provide TLC when your pets need it most gives me a sense of enormous fulfilment. Seeing the bond between pet owners and their pets and being able to help ensure that bond lasts for as long as possible, is what makes me do what I do. I see every pet and owner as a member of my extended family. I got married in 2012 and have a cheeky moggy at home! Minx is a tabby and white short haired cat who loves catnip and bringing back ‘presents’ and leaving them on the doorstep(!). She loves cuddles and will do anything for Dreamies Treats! In my spare time I enjoy watching wildlife, photography, baking and watching British Comedy.

I started my training in 2016 when my placements first began here at Vets4Pets Brislington and graduated from Middlesex university in London in 2018. I enjoy all aspects of nursing but particularly enjoy ward nursing and dentistry. I've got 2 guinea pigs - Betty and Barbara, and a German Pointer called Dave who regularly comes on our hiking and camping trips.

I have been working within the practice since 2016, starting as work experience to gain some insight in to the veterinary industry. I am now working as a care assistant for Vets4Pets and really enjoy meeting all of our lovely patients each day. I am planning in the near future to start training to become a qualified veterinary nurse, and would like to gain more experience working within theatre. In my spare time I care for my trio of dogs and enjoy riding my horses, often competing locally.

Practice Manager

I joined the practice in March 2016 and feel very privileged to work with such a friendly and caring team.

I lived in the Philippines for 8 years and whilst there I cared for and rescued a multitude of animals. My menagerie consisted of 5 dogs (4 from the streets of Manila), an iguana, green crested lizard, a little scops owl, lovebirds, finches, a rooster, 3 ducks, some fish, a bat and even an eagle for a few days. Since moving back to the UK my house is a little tamer.

I guess it was only natural for me to end up working at a vet practice with my love for animals.

I am quite new to the veterinary world but have been thoroughly enjoying the role! Starting as a Client Care Advisor, I enjoy being able to help our clients and patients receive the best care possible. Now as Head Receptionist I am even better placed to support you through every step.

I studied Animal Behaviour and Welfare BSc at the University of Bristol before going on to work as an Aquarist in Aquariums for 5 years. In this time I worked with a huge variety of animals including horses, fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

I currently have my own rescue dog who I love hiking with on my days off.

I began my career here in 2021 as a Receptionist with a keen interest in animal care. I have completed a degree in BSc Zoological Management and Conservation (Hons) and have an array of experience with exotic and endangered animals, big and small. I have completed work experience in the UK with different zoos and zoo vets over the years and have domestics experience with my own/ family pets. I have grew up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, tortoises, salt and freshwater fish, rodents and countless others. I have a particular interest in birds and have reared them in my own aviary for the past 14 years and have an abundance of knowledge to share. My favourite animals I have worked with in the past are zebras, gorillas and flamingos.

Client Care Adviser

I joined Vets4Pets Brislington in January of 2018.

Before then I had a joyous 5 years in a Cattery, cats are my true weakness any of our regular clients and colleagues would know this. Before opting to work in an animal environment I worked in the Insurance Industry for 16 years.

My life and passion outside of work includes my two cats, Rio and a very mouthy Bengal called Goldie, who at 18 is still as mad as they come. But my time is all taken up by my glorious two Bay Horses, Roscow and Buzz, we spend hours exploring the countryside around Bath.
