Featured Clinic Overview
Priory Vets Cardigan is a small-animal practice that reviewers describe using for urgent same-day problems (ear infections, an ear haematoma) as well as routine checks. Recent reviews repeatedly mention fast access for urgent cases (seen “within 2 hours” in one case; same-day in another), calm handling for stressed dogs, and at least one instance of a follow-up call after treatment. Pricing and safety get mixed feedback: multiple reviewers appreciate being told costs up front, while others describe it as “far too expensive,” cite a medication dosage mistake, and raise concerns about the distance to the current out-of-hours emergency provider.
