We are open for essential care only
In line with government guidelines, we are only offering medically essential appointments, so please contact the practice team before travelling. Our opening hours may also vary, so please monitor our webpage to keep up to date with the latest information.
We are taking steps to help keep you and our colleagues safe:
- If you do need to visit, we ask that only one person per pet comes along, to help reduce the number of people in the waiting area at any one time.
- Social distancing is crucial at this time. When arriving, you may be required to call ahead and wait to be invited in by a member of our team. You will be informed if this is necessary when you call us to make your appointment.
- Once inside the practice, we ask that you please respect a two metre distance from our colleagues and other clients.
- We are only accepting card payments to help minimise contact between you and our colleagues.
- If you can’t visit the practice and are concerned about your pet’s health, please contact us to discuss available options.
We will continue to share regular updates here and on our Facebook page. We thank you for your patience at this time.

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 joined Vets4Pets after graduating from the University of Nottingham. I have known I wanted to be a vet from a very young age and have had animals of my own throughout my life.
I have a particular interest in surgery, but thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my job as a vet. I am keen to develop my skills further and have ambitions to pursue further qualifications soon.
I have a Lhasa Apso at home called Alfie. Outside of work I enjoy taking him for walks, watching the formula 1, and when I get the chance, riding horses.
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.

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.
