Carla Puime Costoya

Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified and graduated in Spain, in Santiago de Compostela University in 2 and then spent time in America volunteering in several hospitals; subsequently I moved to England where I have been practising veterinary medicine since 2002. Firstly I worked for a large veterinary group in Yorkshire, eventually taking on a senior position at the main hospital; here I developed one of my two passions: diagnostic imaging, mainly ultrasound and endoscopy. My other passion is challenging cases of internal medicine: I love complicated cases that need lots of investigation, especially when it involves imaging. I also worked as a locum before taking a permanent position as Clinical Director at the Vale Veterinary Group in Devon; here I attended several courses on Western Acupuncture and I'm now able to treat pets with traditional manual acupuncture as well as electro-acupuncture. I stayed at the Vale until I recently decided to take on the path of Joint Venture Partner at Vets4Pets Bristol Emersons Green. Due to my love for cats we have qualified and obtained the status of a Gold Cat friendly practice with a special focus on them. We have special designed cat kennels (cat condos) that help cats to cope better with stress and recovery while away from their owners. We have also managed to become a silver accredited practice on the rabbit friendly vet list at RWAF. I have a great passion for pugs but sadly lost my pug Winston, however at home I have a French bulldog called Darwin. It is thanks to my dad's love for dogs that I became a vet; I grew up surrounded by 3 dogs, cats, fish and budgerigars. My other interest, together with my husband, is the great outdoors, we love canoeing, cycling, climbing and our son Theo and daughter Alma love it too.

I am originally from just outside Glasgow (so please excuse the accent) and I graduated from Edinburgh University in 2010. My first job was working with “all creatures great and small” in mixed animal practice in Northumberland, I then moved into small animal practice in North Somerset in 2012 and recently joined the Vets4Pets Emersons Green team. I love the variety and challenges of all aspects of small animal practice, no two patients are the same and it’s great getting to know the personality of all the pets we see. I really enjoy working with you, the client, and your animals to make sure all our pets are as happy and healthy as they can be. In March 2013 I completed an acupuncture training course and it has been so rewarding to see some great responses in animals with really painful conditions. It’s wonderful to know that acupuncture can improve their quality of life so much. My spare time is spent with my husband Oli and our three extremely troublesome cats: Maddie, Freddie and Ellie. Ellie recently introduced me to the other side of the veterinary world when she was involved in quite a serious road traffic accident. I now know how it feels to be a worried, neurotic owner!!! But I am delighted she has made a full recovery (minus the tail)!

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2011 and stayed in London for 3 and a half years working at a practice in Middlesex followed by a move into central London, working in Notting Hill. My clinical interests include all kinds of surgery, emergency medicine and neurology. I particularly enjoy working with clients throughout the whole lifespan of their pet’s illness so that I can oversee and explain every step in the process. I am originally from Stoke Gifford and have recently moved back to Bristol with my wife following a year of travel and volunteering. When not working I enjoy sailing, making good food and drinking fine wine.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011 which the observant of you will note is the same year as Joe and yes we have been friends since then. Since graduating I have worked exclusively in small animal practices but have bounced around a bit, working in Lincolnshire, Devon and Cornwall prior to ending up in Bristol. I really enjoy the variety of cases that come in on a day to day basis but suppose if you had to pin me down I have a soft spot for dermatology..some cardiology..a bit of opthalamology..as I say a bit of everything. I have a dog called Sasha who is an Alaskan Malamute so I guess you could say I am a dog person but I do enjoy seeing most animals and have even once operated on a snake. Outside of work I am equally at home outdoors, walking the dog, paddleboarding or playing softball; or indoors watching films, trying to beat Joe at cards or discussing rugby down the pub.

After completing my national diploma in animal management, I qualified from Bristol University in 2010 with a degree in veterinary nursing and practice administration. I previously worked in a small animal hospital in Hampshire where I am originally from. In 2013 I moved to Bristol where I worked for Highcroft for 4 years continuing to develop my nursing. Veterinary nursing is a fantastic job! I particularly enjoy theatre and puppy socialisation, I have an interest in emergency and critical care. When I am not working I enjoy Pilates, socialising with friends and family and travelling on my partner’s motorbike. Most recently Emersons Green Vets4Pets have welcomed me in to their practice, and I am thrilled to be part of this lovely team.

I moved from Devon for university purposes, qualifying from Hartpury College in 2012 and worked in a small animal practice in Cheltenham. One of my interests lie in exotic and wild species and I have been volunteering at Bristol Zoo since graduating. I am further pursing this by studying for my certificate in veterinary nursing of exotic species. I really love nursing and am very excited to be part of the team at Vets4Pets Emersons Green and meeting all the lovely owners and amazing pets. Outside of work I enjoy visiting museums and cathedrals and am trying to get back into amateur dramatics.

I have always had a passion for learning about animals and grew up watching anything by Steve Irwin and David Attenborough. I have been with the practice now for just over three years and I am lucky to have recently begun studying to become a registered veterinary nurse, which I am thoroughly enjoying. I live with my husband and our two springer spaniels Charlie and Lola, two snakes Bindi and Irwin, and six guinea pigs – Harry, Ted, Nelson, Audrey, Frida and Grace. I also have a passion for gardening and keep an allotment, and enjoy sailing with my husband on our holidays.

I am from Bristol and finished my GCSE exams in 2017, once I got my results I knew straight away that I wanted to train as a veterinary nurse. At the age of 16 I was offered a training position here at Vets4Pets Emersons Green and been training with them ever since. I love listening to music, shopping and going for dog walks on the beach. From a young age I have always wanted to work with animals and had lots of pets growing up such as dogs, hamsters and rabbits. At the moment I have 2 rescue dogs, Lilo and Messi and 2 rabbits, Missy and Maggie. I am now in my second year of college studying to be a veterinary nurse and have only a year to go! I am really enjoying my practical training here and cannot wait to qualify.

From I young age I knew I wanted to work with animals. After gaining my GCSE’s, I went on to college to complete a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Management which was based at Bristol Zoo. After working in retail for a few years I was lucky enough to land a position as an Animal Nursing Assistant at a small animal veterinary practice in Bristol. During my time at this practice I completed an Animal Nursing Assistant Certificate and trained as a Veterinary Nursing as an apprentice via a Level 3 Diploma. I finished my nurse training and qualified as a veterinary nurse in April 2019. After 10 years at my first practice I decided that it would be beneficial for me to experience working in another practice, and this is when I started at Vets4Pets Emerson’s Green. Everyone has been so welcoming and looking forward to/ enjoying working here. I’m enjoying most aspects of veterinary nursing, however I particular enjoy anaesthesia and critical care, medical and feline nursing.

I current share my home with my partner and our two children. In my spare time I enjoy going for walks and exploring nature with the family.

I have been part of the team at Emersons Green Vets4pets since we opened in 2014. After studying an outdoor adventure diploma I spent around 15yrs traveling the world running trekking and kayaking expeditions. I now support my wife Carla with running the practice. My job role is mainly behind the scenes, making sure our great team have everything they need to care for your pets. Although I do enjoy getting out of the office when we have caesarean in the practice. We have a lovely French bulldog called ‘Darwin’ who loves cuddling up on the sofa! Outside of work, I don’t have much free time as we’ve 2 children Theo and Alma, however I do enjoy family bike rides,climbing and planning future adventures.

Since I started working I have been in the leisure industry, recently I decided I wanted a change. With a love for animals working in a vets was an easy choice.

Everyday is different at vets4pets and I am learning new things each day. I also get the chance to cuddle some very cute animals, which is always a bonus.

In my spare time I try to stay active. I love surfing, stand up paddle boarding and recently started mountain biking

We have always had many animals in our house as I've grown up. Currently we only have fish, rabbits and a dog. One day I would love to have a Newfoundland.
