Bristol Kingswood Vets4Pets

After qualifying from Bristol University, I have worked in several practices in Berkshire. Although I started my career in a mixed farm and companion animal practice, I soon realised that my main interest was in treating cats, dogs and other small animals. When I was offered the chance to set up my own surgery with Vets4Pets in Kingswood I leapt at the opportunity to return to Bristol. I have loved meeting our new clients and their varied pets, and I am really impressed at how friendly everyone is around here. I live locally with my husband, Simon, our lovely, but demanding, cat called Ash, a slightly nutty Collie cross called Spindle and three very mischievous Degus. We have two sons who live independent lives but come and visit us from time to time! We spend as much of our free time as possible walking in the local countryside. My main professional interest is in medicine, and I have recently completed a GP certificate in small animal medicine which has helped me to keep up to date with current thinking. However, I enjoy all aspect of this wonderfully varied job.

After graduating from Bristol University, I couldn't bring myself to leave this brilliant city and it's people. I joined the team in July 2018 and very quickly felt like part of the Kingswood family! My particular interests lie within ophthalmology and dentistry. I also have a huge soft spot for cats and am looking forward to helping the practice gain cat friendly status. Outside of work I am a huge foodie and am currently trying to work my way through the amazing restaurant scene in Bristol! I have also recently started to attend art classes and spend much of my free time reading and swimming.

I graduated from The Royal Veterinary College in July 2010 and have since worked for several small animal practices as well spending two years with the RSPCA in London. Whilst I love all aspects of veterinary work, I particularly enjoy surgery. The opportunity arose to return to my hometown of Bristol a few years ago and I jumped at the chance. I love this city and i'm enjoying putting roots down here with my husband, our dopey but gorgeous Labrador, 2 cats and our one year old daughter Heidi

I started at Kingswood Vets4Pets not so long ago, so many of you may have already met me whilst visiting with your pets! I studied Veterinary Nursing at Hartpury College in Gloucester and have graduated with a honours degree, which I am very proud of! I have always been an animal lover, ever since I was little! You couldn’t tear me away from my Animal Hospital play set! I always had a passion for helping animals and providing them with the care that they deserve. My favourite part of my job is seeing pets returned to their owners and how happy they both are after being treated by myself and our amazing team! I look forward to meeting you all and your special pets.

I Joined the Vets4Pets Kingswood team October 2017 after spending 3 years in a small animal practice in Bristol where I completed my veterinary care assistant diploma. Once I qualified I continued to work as a Receptionist/care assistant. Since Meeting the team at Kingswood, I loved the new practice and the staff are amazing. I am currently working as a Student Veterinary Nurse here working towards my qualification. Being an animal lover myself I have two lovely family dogs our boxer called Mica and a Staffordshire bullterrier called Kaz and a playful kitten called Nala.

I qualified as a nurse in 2013 but have worked in vet practices for over 10 years and started out as a receptionist first! I love all animals great and small, furred, feathered or scaled and have a further nursing certificate in exotics. At home I have a naughty Collie cross, a ginger tom-cat and Kevin the budgie! In my spare time I love to spend time with my family (human and animal 😀)

Having grown up with animals my whole life I always knew I would end up working within the industry so after graduating from university in 2014 I volunteered at a number of places in Bristol including Bristol Zoo, Noah's Ark and WildPlace. Since joining the reception team here at Kingswood in 2016 I have loved every moment especially getting to know to all our lovely clients and of course giving cuddles to all their pets. 

I joined Vets4Pets at the start of September 2018 and have previously volunteered in many places such as in vets, farms and rescue shelters. I’ve loved animals since a young age and have wanted to go into the animal industry for as long as I can remember, because of my strong passion for animals I have gained two qualifications in Animal Nursing and Animal Management & Ethics. I also have previously worked in retail where I realised I love speaking to people and feel comfortable with talking to everyone. I have 2 gorgeous cats at home called Ben and Pixie who I adore. My favourite part of the job is definitely giving all of our furry patients lots of cuddles and seeing them once they are all back to being happy and healthy again after they have been treated. I am currently a Client Care Adviser but I am in the process of learning some Veterinary Care Assisting!
