Dog & Cat Vets in Mid Glamorgan

Maes Glas Vets Limited is set up for on-site diagnostics and procedures, with a dedicated operating theatre, digital radiography, ultrasound, modern dental equipment, and an in-house lab for blood work and microscopy (per the clinic website). The clinic also states it can carry out emergency operations on site. From recent reviews, owners most often mention vets explaining examinations step-by-step, calm handling for stressed dogs, and the team accommodating extra treatment needs during routine appointments. A practical downside raised by one reviewer was a longer wait to collect pre-ordered flea and worm tablets that hadn’t been prepared in advance.

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.

Maes Glas Vets Limited is a multi-branch veterinary clinic group with “fully-equipped branches” and offers 24/7 care (as stated on its website). The services explicitly mentioned on the website include vaccinations and neutering. In the latest reviews, owners most often describe smooth routine visits (for example, annual vaccination appointments that “literally only takes around 15 minutes”) and practical support at end-of-life, including help organising cremations and keepsakes such as cards, prints, and a casket after euthanasia. Reviews also mention flexibility around appointment timing (including a check-up carried out during a vet’s lunch break) and reminders for annual check-ups/vaccinations.

Oxford House Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a family-run, independent practice for small animals, and it is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic appears set up for routine care and common procedures (spaying is specifically mentioned), with owners also describing urgent same-day help when a pet was very unwell. Out-of-hours emergency care is arranged via Valley Veterinary Hospital, with VidiVet providing triage and guidance. Decision-relevant details owners repeatedly mention include: - Being fitted in quickly when a dog was “very ill” (seen within ~30 minutes of calling) and receiving a prompt diagnosis and medication. - Clear explanations and aftercare guidance following surgery (one owner credits the vet with saving their cat’s life and explaining aftercare). - Reassurance and post-op recovery following a spay (reported back to normal within 2–3 days). - A non-judgemental approach to budgeting, with staff suggesting ways to save money (as described by one reviewer).

Live Well Vets Ltd operates as its own practice (one reviewer explicitly mentions transferring from “a large chain” to Live Well Vets). The website also describes building a “new vet practice” and documents the process via a blog. From the available information, the clinic appears set up for routine pet care and ongoing condition management, with owners mentioning treatment for itchy ears/coat and care for a diabetic dog, plus visits with small pets (guinea pig; ferrets mentioned). Review signals are mostly very positive (kindness in emotional visits; patience with vet-nervous dogs; issues addressed on the first visit), but there’s a recent 1‑star review alleging a very high quoted price for ferret hormone injections and questioning the clinic’s priorities. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - An itchy ears/coat problem being addressed on the first visit, with the dog later described as “completely itch free.” - Staff patience with a dog that is “terrified of vets,” with the dog reportedly staying calm during visits. - Compassion during an “very emotional visit.” - A quoted cost of £250 per ferret for a hormone injection (from one recent review), which the reviewer felt was unreasonable.

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.

Victoria Veterinary Practice is a veterinary clinic that also lists itself as a veterinary nurse training facility (structured clinic data). The website mentions a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included (website summary). Recent reviews describe both routine care and more complex, ongoing cases—owners mention help explaining an IVDD diagnosis and managing a dog with epilepsy, as well as orthopaedic surgery performed at the practice. From the latest reviews, several owners describe pets that are comfortable walking in for repeat visits, and mention detailed explanations plus printed information given after an appointment. A small number of reviews raise concerns about communication delays (e.g., waiting for blood test results) and cost (with complaints that pricing is higher than expected/compared with other practices).

Park Vets describes itself on its website as one of the oldest veterinary practices (and promotes a “Pet Health Plan”). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews, this practice is commonly used for both routine care (boosters, vaccinations and microchipping) and procedures including spays, surgery for eye ulcers, and end-of-life care. Owners repeatedly mention practical, decision-relevant touches such as: being treated fairly regardless of breed, staff explaining options clearly, and in one case a vet answering emails out of hours during post-surgery care.

Treforest Veterinary Clinic is described as a veterinary nurse training facility and, based on owner reports, is set up for both routine care and short-notice urgent appointments. Corporate group ownership isn’t stated in the information provided. Owners repeatedly mention: - Fast access when something goes wrong, including “emergency appointments… at short notice” and being fit in “as soon as possible” for accident-prone dogs or flare-ups. - Ongoing management of chronic problems, with one owner saying their elderly cat’s arthritis/over-grooming was “the only” case where it was brought under control. - Practical cost-awareness, including a vet recommending a cheaper medication to save money. - A calm, pet-friendly experience, with examples like a typically vocal cat staying relaxed in the carrier and a dog comfortable enough to cuddle staff while waiting.
