Dog & Cat Vets in Gwent

Fields Vets describes itself as a clinic focused on preventative care, and it also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website promotes a Pet Health Club® / Pet Health Club® Plus membership that can include consultations. Recent reviews are mixed: some owners describe thorough exams and vets who settle timid pets, while others report very poor experiences including alleged rough handling of a young puppy, concerns about hygiene on the exam table, and dissatisfaction with decision-making around treatment options (including surgery discussions). Concrete points mentioned in recent reviews include: - Dental treatment discussions where the clinician “answered all my questions… in full” (cat). - Blood tests and a urine sample for a senior dog (with the owner alleging the UTI remained untreated for weeks). - A puppy first check where the owner alleges incorrect worming tablets were provided. - End-of-life care concerns, with one reviewer alleging euthanasia felt rushed and that the pet wasn’t sedated first.

Summerhill Veterinary Centre offers routine consultations plus a Pet Health Club® Plus plan (the site states consultations are included), and out-of-hours care is provided via Vets Now. It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews describe both quick accommodation for urgent appointments and structured treatment planning (one owner says their dog received a “robust treatment plan” and improved), alongside a small number of serious complaints about post-neutering outcomes and cost/markup concerns. The practice website also notes a temporary closure for refurbishment from 13 October 2025, with services potentially reduced around that period.

Summerwood Veterinary Surgery is temporarily closed for refurbishment, with services continuing through other branches and partner practices. Out-of-hours care is stated to be provided by Vets Now (Newport). Based on reviews, the practice appears set up for routine care and plans (vaccinations, parasite prevention) as well as more involved cases (a broken leg is mentioned) and dentistry (including dental procedures/tooth extraction decisions discussed). Review details also point to a strong emphasis on explaining treatment and costs in advance, alongside mixed experiences around dental outcomes and end-of-life handling.

Drybridge Veterinary Clinic is a small‑animal practice for domestic pets, with out‑of‑hours care handled by Vets Now (as stated on the clinic website). Recent reviews describe same‑day help for an injured dog that arrived without warning, and sensitive support during end‑of‑life care for an elderly cat, including clear explanations of what would happen and options afterwards. Feedback also shows mixed experiences with administration: one reviewer reports difficulty booking a simple claw clip and a delayed call‑back, while others mention smooth, friendly interactions “from desk to clinic.”

Summerview is part of the Summerhill Vets group and is set up as a smaller practice (reviews mention limited equipment and a compact waiting area). The clinic is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. The website notes a planned temporary closure for refurbishment from 13 October 2025, with services potentially reduced during that period. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe attentive handling of nervous pets and supportive care for difficult appointments (including end-of-life care), with one review specifically mentioning eye-area surgery for a cat over a longer period of use. Out-of-hours care is stated on the website as being handled by Vets Now.

Companion Care (Caerphilly) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets, so it’s part of the Vets4Pets group rather than an independent clinic. The practice positions itself as modern and well-equipped, with on-site diagnostics and surgical facilities (including digital x‑ray, ultrasound, arthroscopy, endoscopy, an in‑house lab and pharmacy, plus separate dog/cat wards and an isolation unit). From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: being seen quickly for emergencies, clear explanations of treatment options and costs, and post-op check-ups after surgery. One recent reviewer reports being unable to buy worming tablets without a vet consult (and being unhappy about the additional charge), while others describe staff prioritising safe handling—for example clearing the reception area for a reactive, muzzled rescue dog.

Summer Court (part of the Summerwood Vets brand, per the clinic website text) is set up as a general first-opinion practice, with veterinary nurse training listed in the clinic data. Recent reviews describe a mix of routine and complex case management: one owner says the team identified a broken back and multiple disc problems after another vet had suggested arthritis, and arranged a referral for scans and correct pain relief medication. Multiple owners also mention supportive care during serious illness and end-of-life, including long-term care for a dog who later passed away. Feedback is mixed on service reliability: alongside praise for compassion and thoroughness, there are also reviews alleging serious clinical error (human medication) and missed diagnosis, and others describing call-handling and appointment-order frustrations.

Abbey Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice that has been operating since the 1980s (per its website). From the latest reviews, it appears set up for routine preventive care (vaccinations, injections, worming) as well as some urgent situations—one owner mentions their dog needing “emergency treatment” twice. Several reviews focus on how the team handles nervous or reluctant pets, including using treats to help a fearful dog accept vaccination appointments and being patient with a stressed cat needing frequent claw clipping (even when sedated). Feedback on costs is mixed: some owners say pricing felt expected, while others describe fees as “extortionate” and say costs weren’t clearly explained.

Newport Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets network and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The practice is used for both routine and short-notice visits, with reviewers describing same-day appointments and the team taking in a very unwell stray cat immediately while the finder waited. Several reviews give detailed examples of low-stress handling (treats and patience with a timid kitten; a rescued dog becoming comfortable enough to “enjoy” visits). Feedback is mixed on how concerns are handled: one recent 1‑star review says complaints were “twisted,” they were called “liars,” and it felt “about money,” while other owners say the team didn’t push unnecessary treatments and didn’t overcharge.

Abbey Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice that says it has been caring for pets since the 1980s. It’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (described in the clinic data as 24/7 or extended hours, with no further detail provided). Recent reviews most often mention routine preventative care (first vaccinations, boosters and health checks), the practice fitting pets in at short notice, and supportive handling around end-of-life situations. Pricing feedback is mixed: one reviewer reports steep costs for vaccines (including a rabies jab), while another says pricing felt open and honest.
