The website information also highlights access to around-the-clock emergency care via Medivet’s 24-hour centres, with a stated nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee.

Animal Doctors is a veterinary practice that also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often describe clear explanations during appointments, a clean clinic, and procedures including surgery and dental extractions under anaesthetic. Several reviewers mention that staff “walk and talk you through everything,” and one specifically thanks Simon for operating on their dog.

Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. The clinic’s website says it has been caring for pets since 1997, and reviews describe a practice set up for both routine care and time-sensitive problems, with owners mentioning urgent/emergency appointments as well as boosters and first visits. Concrete details owners repeatedly mention include: - Appointments usually available and helpful advice given over the phone (as reported by reviewers). - A separate waiting area for cats, aimed at keeping cats away from dogs during visits. - Procedures and handling such as dental extractions (multiple teeth removed), booster vaccinations, and claw clipping during a consult. - Support with difficult decisions, including euthanasia, described as handled with dignity by the vet and nurses.

Cardiff Ely Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets4Pets practice described on its site as locally owned. The clinic presents itself as a modern, well‑equipped small‑animal practice for dogs, cats and rabbits, with on‑site diagnostics (including an in‑house lab, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and facilities such as separated dog & cat wards and an isolation unit. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe compassionate support in difficult situations, including euthanasia/end‑of‑life care, plus examples of urgent assessment and ongoing updates (for example, a cat brought in after a suspected road traffic accident).

Vets4Pets (Bridgend) Ltd describes itself as a locally owned practice. It’s set up as a general small‑animal clinic for dogs, cats and rabbits, with on‑site diagnostic equipment (including digital x‑ray, dental x‑ray, ultrasound and an endoscope) plus an in‑house lab and pharmacy. Out‑of‑hours care is stated to be provided by Valley Veterinary Hospital. From the latest reviews, owners often mention a calm environment and staff explaining what they’re doing and why during ongoing cases (including a very young kitten with an illness that took multiple visits to work up). One review strongly disputes consent and charging practices (alleging treatments and an added vaccine were given without explicit agreement, followed by billing), while other reviews say the practice will provide written prescriptions so owners can buy medicines elsewhere.

Medivet Llanishen Cat Clinic is part of the Medivet group (a wider community of veterinary practices). Reviews consistently describe a cat-focused setup that helps anxious cats cope better than in mixed-species clinics, with owners mentioning calmer visits and cats returning to normal quickly afterwards. Several recent reviews also highlight thorough explanations during appointments and extra effort to keep cats comfortable (for example, distracting kittens with “cat yoghurt” during worming and vaccinations). A small number of reviews raise concerns: one owner describes an unexpected request for payment of £500+ relating to treatment from over 2.5 years earlier, and another says they lost confidence in the clinic’s handling of an over-grooming issue and moved practices.

Bridges Veterinary Surgery is a veterinary practice with a 4.8★ Google rating from 108 reviews. From owner accounts, it appears set up for general practice care with a strong emphasis on handling anxious or elderly pets gently (for example, a vet sitting on the floor to greet a 14‑year‑old dog, using treats, and doing a head‑to‑toe exam). Reviews also describe the team taking on new cases quickly (“ASAP”) and supporting owners through end-of-life care, including at-home visits and euthanasia where a call-out fee was waived in one case. Pricing transparency is mentioned by one reviewer who was quoted a price and then charged less once treatment was completed.

St David Veterinary Centre has been “caring for the pets of Cardiff since 1997” (from its website) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe a practice that regularly handles dentistry (including multiple-tooth extractions) and routine preventative care (vaccinations and health checks), with several owners mentioning clear explanations and follow-up after procedures. One recent review raises concerns about cleanliness in a consult room (dog hair on floor/table) and a long wait (around 45 minutes), while still describing the vet as “great.”

Park Vets describes itself as one of the oldest veterinary practices, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews point to a practice handling both routine and more involved work: dental procedures with multiple extractions, surgery for a neck problem, and treatment for serious illness in a kitten. Experiences are mixed: several owners describe gentle handling and successful outcomes after procedures, while one recent 1‑star review alleges a pet died shortly after a “routine procedure,” and another 1‑star review is present without details.

Doctor Doolittles is set up as a general veterinary practice with emergency veterinary services listed (described as 24/7 or extended hours) and is also noted as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention a welcoming reception team, vets who explain what they think is happening and lay out treatment options, and a vibe that “never feels salesy” (one reviewer specifically contrasts it with being pushed into extras). A few practical details also come up: owners mention visits for cat flea treatment and vaccinations, and one reviewer notes the reception area displays/posters change and that the practice looks very clean.
