Lisburn Longstone Vets4Pets

I qualified from the University of Bristol,  and worked in Scotland and Northern Ireland while completing a master’s degree in conjunction with The Donkey Sanctuary. Six years ago took the brave leap to start out on my own after the birth of my first child Nicholas, since then I have had another two children, James and Isabelle. I also have a degree in animal behaviour and welfare, something I am truly passionate about.  With this in mind making sure that trips to the vets are as stress free as possible for pets and their owners is always at the front of my mind. This is especially true of my feline patients, who’s unique needs are often overlooked or misunderstood.  I am proud to say that my practice in Northern Ireland to achieve Gold standard Cat Friendly status. My other interests include palliative care and surgery. I live in Lisburn with my husband, and three beautiful children, with our cat Ember.

Hi I'm Jodie, I joined the Vets4Pets team in November 2021, you will have mostly seen me on reception but I have recently started the Veterinary Nursing course at Greenmount.

I have been around animals throughout my life and have been horse riding since I was 8 years old. I have many of my own pets Ted the Shih Tzu, Twink the leopard gecko, Tina the tortoise and Cheese & Dudley the hamsters. I have completed a Level 2 & Level 3 Animal Management course in Lisburn Tech, and the animal care course at Greenmount. 

Christopher has a vast experience in the pet industry over the last 17 years.  Recently he joined our team as a client care advisor.  Christopher has a wealth of knowledge and experience with our feline friends and away from the practice is heavily involved with cat rescue in the local area.  Currently he shares his house with seven cats, including Bruce the Maine coon, who rules the roost.
