Coventry Walsgrave Vets4Pets

I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland in 2004. I worked in a few different small animal veterinary practices and hospitals before I joined Vets4Pets in 2019 after locuming here at weekends for a few years. I have an interest in surgery and diagnostic imaging and hold the BSAVA Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. Outside work I like to spend as much time as possible with my family and my rescue dog Woody.

 

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon that Qualified from the University of Agrico, Science and Veterinary medicine in Timisoara, Romania. Since graduating I have worked in Small Animal medicine and have developed and keen interest in canine and feline ophthalmology in which I'm currently completing and certificate in. I also like soft tissue surgery and small animal internal medicine. I consider myself and open minded person who loves outdoor hiking, travelling and motorcycling.

 

I qualified in Portugal back in 2018 and came to the UK the same year looking for a different experience. I have worked in a small animal practice for 2 years before joining Vets4Pets in July this year. I am really enjoying working in this practice! I have a special interest in internal medicine and I am particularly keen on the medical management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease and thyroid and adrenal conditions. In my free time I like to go outdoors, spend time at home with my two cats and cook for friends. I am looking forward to see and help your pets!

I have been in Veterinary Practice since leaving school in 2010 and did my Veterinary Nursing Diploma at Moreton Morrell College. I spent a few years at a big practice in Birmingham where I gained lots of experience with a wide range of small animals and exotic animals. I work full-time at the practice and you will most likely find me in the consultation room. At home I have an 3 year old son, plus 3 dogs; Keelo (Staffordshire bull terrier) Lola (Cross Breed) and Odon (deaf English Bull Terrier) who are no strangers to the practice and regularly come to work with me. I also have an assortment of cats (8 to be exact), I have this thing where I can't say no to an animal in need and end up bringing everything homeless home with me! I will help in every way I can and love making pets happy and healthy again.

I first started out in practice as an Animal Care Assistant in 2013, I thoroughly enjoyed this work and decided I wanted I become a Veterinary Nurse. I started my training in 2014, studying at Moreton Morrell College and a practice in Daventry. I qualified in 2017 and stayed at my training practice for several months afterwards. I moved to Vets4Pets in January 2018 and have thoroughly enjoyed it here with the team.

During my time doing nurse studies I have acquired 2 beautiful cats. My first was a lovely black and white stray kitten (who is 5 now) and my second was a tabby cat who came into the practice at around 10 days old. He needed a little help so I hand-reared him from the day he came in. He is 2 years old now and very cheeky! I also have a crazy young Spaniel who I love to take for long walks along the beach.

I have been in Veterinary practice since 2006 and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2009. My career has taken me through many exciting roles, including emergency over night care, referral work with Veterinary Cardiologists and many years in general practice.

I have a young family now and they keep me on my toes! With a 4 year old daughter and a 1 year old son I come to work for a rest and to get my fix cuddling all the patients. At home I have a fish tank but no furry beasts of my own so I enjoy meeting all out patients. Outside of work I am a keen runner and gardener. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going for walks that almost always end in a pub lunch.

I graduated from the college of animal welfare in 2014 I spent a couple years in first opinion practice before moving on to working nights for a few years. Outside of work I enjoy walking my dog Eddie and taking part in triathlons.

My name is Cristina and I am the Practice manager and Joint Venture Partner at Vets4Pets Coventry Walsgrave. I have been around animals from a very young age and 1 years ago I started rescuing animals in Romania and discovered my passion and love for them. in 2013, when I moved to the UK I knew I wanted to work with animals and got a job at the clinic as a receptionist. I slowly worked my way up and 3 years later got the job of my dreams as a Practice manager. This is living proof that everyone can achieve what they want if they work hard and with passion. In my spare time I love spending time with my two rescued cats, Phoebe and Joey and with my little rescue dog Didi. When I'm not at work I love travelling the world, meeting new people and discovering new cultures. I look forward to seeing you and your furry friends at the practice.

I studied at the University of Suffolk and completed my FDSC in wildlife management and conservation back in 2012. After finishing University I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do going forward. It took a few years before I found myself at Vets4Pets Coventry Walsgrave but I have loved it from the moment I joined the team. The team here are very welcoming and will strive to give the best care possible for all of your pets.

I recently obtained my SQP qualification meaning I can dispense and advise on certain Veterinary medicines.

I try to bring a smile to everyone I meet and love to have cuddles with all the furry friends that visit the practice. I have a little black cat of my own called Kyo, he is very naughty at 5am when he wakes me up for breakfast by jumping at my door and meowing until I wake up, but I wouldn't change him!

I finished my studies at college in 2011 then started working at a vets in Birmingham, my home town, where I spent many years. Here is where I rescued my beloved little French Bulldog, Ronnie, who I love dearly. I have always loved animals ever since I was a little girl and I thrive on caring for them.

I started here at Coventry in 2015 as a Veterinary Care Assistant. I then went on a career break to see if there was anything else I'd be better at. I realised after nearly 2 years that it wasn't for me and I missed that close relationship with the clients and patients at the vets, so I returned back to Coventry in 2017, where I have thoroughly loved being back and seeing old faces.

Over the years in the veterinary industry I have acquired 3 dogs, 2 very cheeky little boys Harvey (Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Oscar (the crazy spaniel!) and Ronnie wiggle-bum, (my frenchie) and not forgetting my beautiful black and white cats, Tinkerbell and Alfie. I love to unwind at the gym and I enjoy horse riding when I get the chance.

I absolutely adore animals and am looking forward to meets and greets with all your pets, big and small. Unfortunately I am not allowed pets in the house I live in with my partner so I have to get my fix squeezing all the animals that come in to the practice!

I completed my L2 and L3 in Horse Care and Horse management and have been lucky enough to work with the RWHS and even within celebrations for the Queens 90th Birthday. After working with horses I realised I had a love for science and animal care and progressed to completing my BSc (hons) in Animal Science at Writtle University in Chelmsford. I hope to progress to Veterinary NUrsing in the not to distant future and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
