Dr Jodie Moses-Williams
Veterinary Surgeon
BSc (Hons), BVM&S, MRCVS
I initially completed a degree in Zoology at Swansea University before undertaking a degree in veterinary medicine at The University of Edinburgh. I moved back to Wales and joined Vets4Pets in 2016.
I enjoy all aspects of clinical practice but am especially interested in medicine cases, especially feline.
My spare time is ruled by four cats – Angus, Enid, Bella and Bernard. When they allow I enjoy reading, gaming and running.
I’ve always been a massive animal lover and have known from a young age I wanted to work with animals. I have always been surrounded by a variety of animals growing up.
I started my nursing career in 2009 and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse (RVN) in 2013. I enjoy every aspect of my job especially the wide variety of patients and cases presented each day. I love nursing sick patients back to health and providing owners with advice about keeping their pet in tip top condition.
I have a particular interest in our feline patients and gained a certificate in feline friendly nursing in 2019. I am also interested in caring for neonates and have hand-reared a number of litters of kittens, puppies and even a litter of mice.
I currently own three cute cats named Chester, Colin the Creature and Titch and a beautiful Irish setter dog named Scarlett.
I love working for Vets 4 Pets Cardiff Newport Road, everyone working here is a true animal lover and has every patients’ best interest at heart.
I joined Vets4Pets in May 2018 as a part time Veterinary Nurse. I had worked as a Veterinary Nurse for many years in the Cardiff area but stopped to run my riding school. I missed the Veterinary work so came back into the industry in 2017.
I have 2 children, a German Shepherd cross called Aslan and a cat called Roger who along with the horses keep me very busy in my spare time!
I have been working at Vets 4 Pets since the branch opened in 2014. I thoroughly enjoy my job (especially meeting everyone and their pets).
I started working here as a receptionist and in January 2020, after two years of hard work I completed my training and am now a Registered Veterinary Nurse.
I have always been an animal lover and grew up with Labradors. I am now the proud owner of three cats; Muppet, Stella & Patty who have been fantastic motivation for my new career.
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, jive dancing and horse riding. In 2017 I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and plan to run Caerphilly 10K in 2020.
I started working at Vets4Pets in August 2016 as a Receptionist. I am currently training to become a Veterinary Nurse which I am thoroughly enjoying.
I have a troublesome pair of ginger tom cats which are litter brothers and constantly keep me entertained.
In my spare time (if I’m not studying) I like to bake lots of unhealthy cakes and biscuits.

In my spare time I love walking with Walter and my family and camping in the Brecon Beacons.
I joined Vets4Pets in May 2017. I had previously had an 8 year career as a hairdresser but my love of animals made me decide on a career change.
I started as a receptionist and I am now working as a Veterinary Nursing Assistant with the aim of becoming a qualified Veterinary Nurse one day.
In my spare time I am usually found walking my two crazy dogs Bella the Beagle and Brody the Whippet or looking after my three cats.
I started working for Vets4Pets in May 2018.
Having worked in the veterinary and animal welfare area for over 8 years, I have a wealth of experience in relation to animal care as well as customer care.
My passion for animal welfare includes fostering over 200 kittens, a handful of inexperienced fledglings and the occasional puppy.
I started working for Vets4Pets in October 2018 as a receptionist.
I have always had a love for animals and want to be a qualified veterinary nurse in the future.
I live with two rescue dogs, Millie, a beautiful black and white collie cross and Skye Blue who is a blue merle collie and an assortment of fishies.
In my spare time I love horse-riding, taking long walks with the dogs and spending long weekends in west wales with the dogs and family.
I joined Vets4Pets in January 2020 as a part time receptionist after working for 5 years in the arts.
I have previously volunteered at a cats shelter and want to continue to work with animals.
In my spare time I love playing with my 18-month old cat Percy, walking the Wales coastal path and finding good country pubs.
I was rescued by the team at Vets4Pets in 2016 and Jay the Practice Manager was lucky enough to become my Mum once I was all fixed up.
My main duties include dish washing, looking for treats, cuddling the staff and clients, hamster watching and looking cute. At home I love walking, swimming and sunbathing.
