Based on owner reports, the practice appears set up for routine care plus medical and surgical workups, with an emphasis on explaining choices and costs before proceeding. Recent reviews repeatedly mention: being seen promptly; vets giving clear options (including “worst case scenario” discussions); and thoughtful end-of-life support, including keepsakes (card, paw prints and flower seeds) provided at ashes collection. Owners also describe the team helping nervous dogs acclimatise with pre-visit “get used to it” drop-ins with treats and fuss, and giving regular text updates during a neuter day.

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.
