Merthyr Tydfil Vets4Pets

My name is Becky and I am the JVP at Merthyr Tydfil, I graduated in 2005 from Bristol Vet School, and since then have worked in both the UK and Ireland in a wide range of veterinary practices, including referral centres, emergency and critical care hospitals, and first opinion practice.
I moved to Wales in 2013 and helped to set up Vets4Pets Merthyr Tydfil in 2016 and I have now been working here full time since March 2018. I have a particular interest in preventative health - working with pet owners to keep their pets happy and healthy and love watching them grow over the years.
When not at work, I am lucky to live on the edge of the Beacons with my dog Xanda, who is a working collie. Xanda and I spend our spare time walking in the countryside and we also participate in Mantrailing which is a sporting version of searching for missing people!   I also have 2 horses – Colin who moved back from Ireland with me and we have competed in eventing, show jumping and now endurance riding.  My younger horse is Marcus who retired from Horse Racing after just one race in Ireland.  He will start endurance rides next year.  I also have 3 Syrian and 1 Russian Dwarf hamster at home, and they are spoilt and have the run of the living room in shifts at night.  Xanda likes to supervise their exercise regime.

I started working for Vets4Pets in November 2018 as a qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse. I have been qualified for over 28 years and have worked in various surgeries in England and Wales.

I have a certificate in Small Animal Clinical Nutrition and a certificate in Oral Care. I am also a Clinical Coach and train our Student Nurses.

I love all aspects of Veterinary Nursing, especially nurse clinics and inpatient care.

In my spare time I make handcrafts and rescue and rehabilitate injured hedgehogs.

I live in Aberdare with my adult children, my deaf English Setter Lester and 5 cats, Foster, Lola, Sheldon, Leonard and Penelope.

I'm Claudia, a student VN, studying at University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

I enjoy my role here at Vets4pets Merthyr Tydfil, as a student VN and cannot wait to qualify as a RVN.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I have 3 dogs and 3 cats.

I'm Tracey and have been a Client Care Advisor here at the practice for 2 years.

I have always loved animals and being around them. Working here has not only given me the perfect opportunity to work with animals, but also to meet their lovely owners, along the way.

I have a rescue cat called Ivy, who is a little rascal, but I absolutely adore her!

In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, travel and spending time with my family.

I'm Stacey and I have been a Client Care Advisor here for just over a year.

I have always wanted to work in a veterinary practice, so I would call this my dream job, as I get to meet all the amazing animals and build relationships with their owners.

I have a rescue cat called Tiddles, he is such a beauty. My 3 young children call him Tiddle-Moo!

In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with my friends, going to the gym and having family days out.

I started here in September 2019 and am a Client Care Advisor, which is the perfect job for me as I am cat mad! I love my job, I am always learning new things, chatting to the clients and no two days are the same.

I live with my 4 cats, 3 of them are girls, Mali, Saffie and Bonnie, then we have my little boy Archie, who is my recent rescue. He completes our household. They all have unique personalities and I wouldn't be without any of them.

They don't call me the surgeries "Crazy Cat Lady" for nothing!
