Animal Health Certificates & Export Health Certificates

Vets4Pets Newport can issue both Animal Health Certificates for European travel and Export Health Certificates for travel outside of Europe. The practice is also qualified to reduced quarantining periods to Australia from 30 to 10 days. 

Accupuncture

Is your dog struggling to get into the house or reluctant to go upstairs? Are walks getting longer or are they not enjoying them as much? It may be that they are in pain. 
 
There are many options available to you which we are more than happy to discuss with you as part of a full health assessment. One of those options is acupuncture, which like with humans, involves strategic placement of needles into the skin in order to help reduce or remove pain and can be practiced in isolation or alongside more conventional medication. 
 
If this is something that interests you, please contact us to know more as we have qualified acupuncturists at Newport Vets4Pets.

Environmental Policy

Vets4Pets Newport is committed to reducing its environmental impact through a journey of continual improvement by working through the Investors in the Environment accreditation scheme. We will make this policy available when requested to interested parties, including members of the public.

Since opening we have strived to gain excellent standards of care to people’s pets and been here as a support for clients. We have been nominated, by our clients, for practice, vet and receptionist of the year.

I studied at the University of Surrey and graduated as part of the first ever class in July 2019. I’ve known the practice for over 7 years and am excited to finally be part of the fantastic team. My veterinary interests include surgery and exotics (the small furry kind). When I’m not at work my three spaniels Peanut, Snoop and Olive keep me rather busy! When I do have time you’ll find me reading a good book.

A veterinarian graduated from Edinburgh, I joined the wonderful team at Newport Vets4Pets in 2026. I love the wide variety of work that can be done in the veterinary field, but I have a particular fondness for the furry friends of the house pet variety. I am interested in continuing to develop skills in emergency medicine as well as surgical skills.

If you find me outside of the office, I am likely looking for a new book to read, a new recipe to cook, or a new area to camp and hike in.
