Medivet Aberdare is part of the Medivet veterinary group (a corporate chain) and refers emergency care to one of Medivet’s 27 dedicated 24-hour centres. From the latest reviews, this branch seems geared to everyday consulting as well as urgent problems and routine procedures—owners repeatedly mention thorough explanations and a calmer, slower approach for anxious pets. Concrete examples owners describe include: - Taking extra time to build trust with an extremely anxious dog before examining, then completing an exam plus an injection and anal gland expression in the same visit. - Handling a serious barbed-wire injury urgently, including anaesthetic and stitching, with staff reportedly staying on and rearranging appointments to treat the dog. - Supporting owners through procedures and admin, including help “sorting out the insurance” after a puppy’s small operation. - Step-by-step guidance for first appointments with anxious kittens and planning for future visits.

Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. Based on recent reviews, this practice seems set up for routine consultations and diagnostics, with some flexibility for dogs that struggle around other pets (one owner was met outside and brought through only when the waiting room was clear). Reviews also describe end-of-life support and longer-term management for serious illness, including homeopathy used alongside conventional care in at least one case. Experiences are mixed: several long-term clients describe consistently good vet and nurse care, while a small number report problems around access and communication (including one case where an injured elderly dog reportedly wasn’t seen after an attack, and another describing patronising or condescending interactions).
