In 2010, I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London, as Veterinary Surgeon after a life long dream that began as a child on my family’s dairy farm.

I had always wanted to work with cows, but soon after graduation I settled into domestic animal practice and found my love for Internal Medicine. 

Being a home bird (quite literally), I have always lived in and worked around south Wales, but in 2016 during a locumming period I met Helen. 

After immediately hitting it off, and realising that our standards of care, ethics and lifelong plans were the same - we became firm friends and Helen offered me a job at Cardiff Bay as Clinical Director.

In July, 2017, I became a Joint Venture Partner and here we are today.

In October 2016 I completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Medicine equipping me with the extra knowledge I craved for my patients.

I am extremely proud of our practice and our team, our standards of care and the high levels of services that we offer.

Hi, I’m Karolina. I have been with Vets4Pets Cardiff Bay since 2019 after qualifying from the University of Life Sciences in Warsaw.
I am originally from Canada and French is my first language (so let me know if you want a consult in French) and also I speak Polish.
I have been told that you will normally hear me before you see me as I am the loudest member of the team - mostly cackling behind the doors of the waiting room!
I have been spoiled working with such a great team who supported me from the beginning and I have also been enjoying meeting all of our clients with their amazing pets!
In my spare time, I love to walk my bouncy spaniel Bilbo Waggins with my fiancé around the Welsh coast line.

I have nursed for over 20 years.

I trained in the charity Blue Cross Merton in London where I credit my skillset base and ethics.  

My profession plays a hugely important role in an animals welfare and as a nurse I feel that responsibility every single day.

During my career I’ve worked in many practices, dabbled in management and in 2016 had the opportunity to become a joint venture partner.

I'm proud that only a handful of nurses have achieved this.

In 2018 I was honoured to receive the BSAVA Bruce Vivash award for outstanding contributions to the advancement of small animal veterinary nursing.

I strive to inspire my team each day to provide the best gold standard care for our patients which I wholeheartedly believe we offer each and every day.

Hey there! I’m Luna. I’m the reception manager at Cardiff Bay Vets4Pets. I’ve spent over a year here, forming close bonds with our regulars and welcoming new faces – both furry and human. When I’m not at the front desk, you’ll find me painting, drawing or out on a hike. Can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

Vets4Pets Cardiff Bay was taken over by Helen in 2016 and was later joined by Sam in July 2017. We are proud to deliver an exceptional quality service to both client and pet, that is both value for money and of an incredible standard.

We boast a multitude of in house facilities, including K Laser treatment, in house diagnostics (including radiography, in house laboratory, ultrasonography, echocardiography and roaming CT), bronchoscopy, separate cat/exotic and dog wards and complimentary therapies such as acupuncture and medical leech treatment.This is all cutting edge equipment to make sure your pet gets the best in diagnostics and care, right here in Cardiff.

Our staff are highly trained and we are proud to have both vets and nurses that have special interests in areas such as Medicine, Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic Surgery, Animal Behaviour and Pet Nutrition. As such, we very rarely refer to external specialties and many complex cases can be handled in-house.

We work with many different insurance companies and can offer direct insurance claims* without any administration fees – preventing the need for you as a client to pay out large bills and waiting for reimbursement.

Being within a Pets at Home store, we are lucky to also have a large on-site Car Park and owners have the benefit of buying their pet a ‘well done’ treat on the way home, or being a one-stop shop for pet foods and services that cannot be found in other local practices. We are also open 6 days a week, late evenings and weekends.
