Dog & Cat Vets in Aberkenfig

## Summary Mobivet focuses heavily on *at-home* veterinary care, with its website highlighting home visits and mobile clinics. Recent reviews repeatedly describe vets coming to owners’ homes for end-of-life appointments, explaining the process gently, and giving families time without rushing. Reviews also mention home visits being used for ongoing medical care (including diagnosing and treating feline asthma) and for more complex discussions (a dog with a mast cell tumour and unexplained collapsing episodes). Emergency provision is described in two ways across sources: the clinic’s structured data lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours), while the website specifies **Emergency Home Care and End Of Life Care from 09:00–19:00 Monday–Saturday**, with **Emergency Hospital Care provided by Valley Veterinary Hospital**. ## Services Based on the website summary and the latest reviews available: - **Home visits / mobile vet appointments** (website lists “Home Visits” and “Mobile Clinics”; multiple reviews describe vets attending the home). - **End-of-life care at home** (many reviews describe pets being put to sleep at home, with time given to say goodbye and the process explained clearly). - **Emergency arrangements** - Website: emergency home care and end-of-life care offered 09:00–19:00 Monday–Saturday; emergency hospital care via **Valley Veterinary Hospital**. - Structured clinic data: emergency veterinary services described as **24/7 or extended hours** (no further detail provided). - **Medical diagnosis and ongoing treatment** mentioned in reviews: - **Feline asthma**: diagnosis and treatment plan after home visits (owner reports improvement). - **Tumour/cancer-related case**: a dog diagnosed with a **mast cell tumour**, with the team described as thorough in diagnosing and advising on treatment. - Investigation of **collapsing episodes** in a dog, with the cause described as uncertain during the review period. - **Routine handling during home visits** mentioned in reviews: weighing and **nail clipping** for a nervous cat at home. - **Veterinary Nurse Training facility** (listed in the structured clinic data). ## People - **Dr Vlad (Vlad Rimbu)**: repeatedly named in end-of-life reviews. Owners describe him explaining what would happen “gently and clearly,” being compassionate with both the pet and family, and allowing time to say goodbye. - **Valeriu (“Val”)**: mentioned in a complex case involving a dog with a mast cell tumour and collapsing episodes; the owner highlights thoroughness in diagnosis and treatment advice. - **Sandra**: named as involved in the same dog’s case alongside Valeriu. ## Reviews **4.7 stars from 415 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **At-home euthanasia and end-of-life support** is the most common topic: owners describe calm home visits, clear explanations, not feeling rushed, and pets passing in familiar surroundings. - **Aftercare is mentioned**: one review describes ashes being returned to the home; another mentions receiving a **card and keyring**. - **Home visits helping anxious pets**: one owner describes an older cat staying relaxed during exams (including weighing and nail clipping) and finally receiving an asthma diagnosis and treatment after being too scared in a clinic setting. - **Thorough workups for more serious problems**: a dog with a mast cell tumour and unexplained collapsing episodes is described as being carefully assessed with treatment options discussed. - **A notable complaint appears in one recent review**: an owner alleges staff left dog mess on public property and says a complaint call was handled poorly (denial, “taking up their lunch hour,” and being hung up on). This conflicts with other reviews that describe considerate communication during difficult situations.
