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.

Meet the team
Hatti qualified from Liverpool University with a distinction in 2008, and worked in mixed practice in England before moving to Northern Ireland in 2001. She has worked in dedicated small animal practice for the last five years and thoroughly enjoys meeting pets of all shapes and sizes and getting to know them and their owners.
Hatti has a particular interest in small animal internal medicine and dermatology. She is also passionate about building a fantastic team at Vets4Pets Newtownards, ensuring you and your pets receive a top class service every time you visit us in our brand new, purpose designed practice.
When Hatti's not working, she has two Labradoodles called Blossom and Bella, a cat called Blake, 2 toddlers and a husband to keep her busy!
After 7 years working as an Animal Nursing Auxiliary, Laura enrolled in Greenmount College and gained her Veterinary Nursing qualifications in 2015.
Laura has a particular interest in medical nursing and is determined to make all her patients feel loved and nurtured. Laura is also a qualified Pet Health Counsellor and runs her own clinics, giving specialist advice.
Laura has a dog called Mitch, a colourful little character with the ability to brighten anyone's day and a cat called Mr Josh . Laura is also a keen rider and has her own horses to keep her busy outside of work!
Originally from the Wirral, Laura studied Performing Arts at University, and after a couple of appearances on Emmerdale as a nurse, decided to pursue the career officially! She completed her Animal Nursing Assistant diploma in 2016 and has been with Vets4Pets Newtownards since the practice opened.
Laura is now in her second year of the Veterinary Nursing course at CAFRE Greenmount College and is looking forward to being fully qualified and being able to take a break from further education for a while! She has a particular interest in Theatre Nursing and Wound Management.
Outside of work, Frank & Carlos; the feline tearaways, keep Laura on her toes. They're a rowdy pair of brothers that like to zoom around the house but she wouldn't have them any other way.
Kat joined us in 2019 as our full-time Client Care Advisor and main point of contact in reception. Kat previously worked in the funeral industry but her love of animals made her decide to change careers and enter the veterinary world! She also loves to muck in and assist with the animals in our care when she gets the chance! Kat is a true dog lover and has 2 black Labradors called Jet and Hollie, and a bouncy Golden Retriever puppy called Charlie.
Kat looks forward to welcoming clients and patients, existing and new, to our modern purpose designed practice!
Lauren originally joined the team in 2018 as a Saturday receptionist, but has recently increased her presence in the practice by doing more reception work while she studies for her Business Degree. Lauren has a Miniature Schnauzer called Minnie and has a deep love of all kittens.
Rachel joined us in September 2019, as part of her Greenmount course to become an ANA. Rachel has been a valuable asset to the team and has a promising career as a Veterinary Nurse ahead of her. Rachel lives on a farm and has all sorts of pets from cows to horses and dogs and cats.
Vets4Pets Newtownards is committed to bringing you affordable, high quality care via a modern, well equipped practice, including a lab, pharmacy, digital x-ray and ultrasound. Plus, on site car parking too!
The friendly team can't wait to meet all of their new clients!
