Clinic Overview

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.

Services

Services mentioned in the website summary and/or reviews include

  • Routine consultations with detailed advice and explanation of treatment options (cats, dogs, kittens, puppies mentioned).
  • Handling anxious or fearful pets with a slower introduction before examination (reported by owners).
  • Anal gland expression and injections (described in one appointment).
  • Neutering/castration (described by an owner).
  • Surgery/operations under anaesthetic, including wound repair with stitching after trauma, and a “small operation” for a puppy.
  • Emergency care via Medivet’s network of 24-hour centres (as stated on the Medivet site).

Pricing

  • Overnight emergency consultation fee: £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am (stated as a nationwide Medivet fee).

People

  • Beth (receptionist): mentioned as “extremely kind and helpful” in day-to-day interactions.
  • Sam (nurse): also mentioned as “extremely kind and helpful.”
  • Vets (not named in the reviews provided): owners describe vets listening carefully, explaining options and treatments, and taking time to reduce stress for anxious animals (e.g., establishing a connection with a nervous dog before examining).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 115 reviews.

  • Thorough consultations with clear explanations (owners mention being talked through options, treatments, and processes step by step).
  • Strong experiences with anxious pets: multiple owners describe gentle handling and a calmer pace that made exams possible.
  • Urgent care responsiveness: one owner reports immediate assessment for a serious wound, anaesthetic, and stitching, with staff rearranging/cancelling appointments to treat the case.
  • A small number of negatives are hard to interpret: there is at least one 1-star review in the latest set but it contains no written detail, while most others are strongly positive.
