Best Vets in Glamorgan

Stone Court Vets is an independent, vet-owned practice. The website says you’ll “always see the same vets,” and reviews back up a continuity + time approach: owners repeatedly mention appointments feeling unrushed and pets being handled calmly during stressful situations. Recent reviews describe same-day/urgent care (a short-notice emergency visit; being seen straight away after a dog bite) and vets who listen and explain thoroughly (e.g., “very thorough and thoughtful,” “has a lot of time to listen”). One reviewer also contrasts it favourably with a “different chain veterinary practice,” saying they didn’t feel “ripped off,” while another specifically notes appointments being on time.

Maes Glas Vets Limited offers routine care (including vaccinations and neutering) alongside 24/7 care, with reviews describing both day-to-day appointments and more serious, time-sensitive situations. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of what’s being done, pets being handled gently during routine procedures, and support in difficult end-of-life scenarios. Concrete details owners mention include: - Procedures being “explained in full,” including when a pet needs to stay overnight. - Annual vaccinations done with attention to keeping the dog comfortable and avoiding unnecessary pain. - Compassionate help during a dog’s final hours (named vet “Clive” mentioned). - In one case after a cat was brought in following a road accident and didn’t survive, staff kept the cat for a few days and did not charge the family.

Same‑day appointments are mentioned in one case for an unwell dog.

Origin Vets Clinic Ltd is an independent practice focused on cats, rabbits, small mammals, and exotic pets. The website highlights dedicated cat and exotic teams plus formal cat/rabbit accreditations, and recent reviews consistently describe a calm, clean clinic environment and unhurried consults with detailed explanations.

Valley Veterinary Hospital describes itself as a modern veterinary hospital providing its own 24-hour emergency service all year, alongside routine care, an in-house exotics service, rehabilitation and referral services. The website also notes Gold status from the Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund, and a purpose-built hydrotherapy room. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe urgent and out-of-hours visits (including middle-of-the-night emergencies and end-of-life appointments) where they were seen quickly and given time and support. Exotics care is a recurring theme too, including long-term guinea pig care and cockatiel appointments with Dr Tariq, and rehab treatments such as infrared laser for arthritis. One recent reviewer strongly disagrees with the practice’s advice given about a baby pigeon, describing it as lacking empathy.

Several reviewers also describe long-term use of the practice (years to decades).

Concrete details owners mention include: - Microchipping and vaccinations for a young kitten. - A vet visit where an anal gland problem was treated and “sorted”. - Owners repeatedly saying their pets are checked thoroughly and that they feel listened to during appointments. - A named vet (Nick Colwell / Nick) being singled out for being friendly and professional.

Gibson & Jones Vets describes itself as an independent practice with “more than 40 years” of experience.
