Dog & Cat Vets in Prestatyn

## Summary AllPets Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, and its website highlights higher-level facilities including CT scanning and digital endoscopic equipment for minimally invasive procedures. Based on recent reviews, it also seems set up for urgent, short-notice care: owners mention being fitted in the same day and being seen for an emergency injury. Communication is a recurring practical detail in reviews—clients describe vets explaining treatment clearly, keeping them informed, and forwarding clinical notes to a pet’s usual vet for follow-up. Several reviews also focus on end-of-life support, including a careful discussion before euthanasia and keepsakes such as fur clippings, paw prints, and a letter. ## Services From the clinic website: - Surgical treatments and routine procedures - Endoscopic procedures (described as minimally invasive) using digital endoscopic equipment - Cardiology (including referral to a cardiology team for suspected heart/circulatory disease) - Orthopaedic surgery (musculoskeletal conditions) - CT scanning From clinic data and reviews: - Emergency/urgent appointments are referenced (clinic data lists emergency veterinary services; reviews mention being seen for an emergency injury and being fitted in on a bank holiday) - Cats and dogs are explicitly mentioned in reviews as patients ## People Named in recent reviews: - **Dr Richard (vet)** — owners mention being kept informed and having things explained clearly during their pet’s care. - **Eliza (vet)** — praised for taking time with an older dog and for handling the dog in a way the owner felt was sensitive to the dog’s perspective. - **Rhi (nurse)** — repeatedly described as gentle when caring for dogs. - **Mary (vet)** — described as “thorough” during assessment of an unwell pet. ## Reviews **4.6 stars from 317 reviews.** The themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Clear explanations and updates:** owners describe treatment being explained step-by-step and feeling kept informed. - **Urgent access when needed:** reviews mention same-day appointments and being “fitted in” for an emergency injury; one owner also mentions being seen over a bank holiday. - **Practical continuity of care:** one review notes that treatment notes were forwarded to the owner’s usual vet so follow-up could be completed with full information. - **End-of-life care:** multiple reviews describe respectful handling of euthanasia decisions, with one mentioning keepsakes (fur, paw prints) and a follow-up letter.
