Companion Care (Cardiff) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets, and the practice is set up for both routine care and more advanced work, with an in-house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound/echocardiography, and access to a roaming CT scanner (per the practice website). It is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Owners most often describe appointments where staff explain options clearly and help dogs feel settled (including a puppy whose owners were advised how to report a breeder for missing vaccination/microchip history). Several reviews also mention the team fitting appointments in with a dog’s background in mind. However, there are also stark negative accounts: one owner reports a cat became unwell after sedation and blood sampling with significant bruising, and another review alleges poor handling of an injured wild bird—so experiences appear mixed depending on the case and clinician. Out-of-hours care is stated on the website as being provided by Valley Vets Hospital, with different fees for weekends and bank holidays.

Heath Vets Cyncoed
Cardiff
Our Score (65/100)
Heath Vets Cyncoed is a veterinary clinic that’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe a practice geared toward routine care and low-stress handling, with reception and clinical staff taking time to listen and explain options clearly. Owners specifically mention being directed to a quiet waiting area to avoid frightening rabbits during a nail-clip visit, and multiple reviews note appointments that feel prompt and organised. A minority view is that opening arrangements “since covid” have made it harder to know when the practice is open, despite praising the vets and reception team.
