Tonypandy Veterinary Clinic
Tonypandy
Our Score (76/100)
Tonypandy Veterinary Clinic is described by clients as part of a “vet chain” (group name not stated in the information provided). The clinic is set up for both routine care and higher-intensity cases: emergency help is listed (24/7 or extended-hours), and reviews describe urgent triage, imaging, and surgery. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Concrete examples owners mention include: a cat brought in after being hit by a car being taken straight through for treatment, X‑rays and jaw surgery being discussed and performed after the vet explained a poor initial prognosis; dental surgery (including a same-day procedure) for a dog; and consultations/procedures where staff were described as transparent and unhurried.

Medivet Merthyr TydfilAsh Veterinary Surgery
Merthyr Tydfil
Our Score (76/100)
Medivet Merthyr TydfilAsh Veterinary Surgery (Ash Veterinary Surgery) is part of the Medivet group rather than an independent clinic. Based on the information available, it provides routine preventative care (annual check-ups and vaccinations are specifically mentioned) and offers access to paid overnight emergency consultations (between 7pm and 9am) through Medivet’s wider network. Recent reviews repeatedly highlight straightforward access to appointments (including a same-day slot for a newly registered dog) and vets who handle cats calmly and confidently (described as “gentle but firm”). One recurring downside in the latest reviews is inconsistent front-desk experience: multiple owners describe being ignored at reception or spoken to rudely on the phone, while others report being welcomed warmly—so expectations around receptionist interactions appear mixed.

Shepherds 'The Vets' Ltd
Pontyclun
Our Score (75/100)
Shepherds “The Vets” Ltd is an independent veterinary practice with Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) accreditation. The website states an in-house 24/7 emergency service (for registered clients), and also lists ongoing care options like a Premier Pet Care Plan, nurse clinics, and support for repeat prescriptions. From the written reviews available, owners describe both routine and difficult visits—ranging from investigations for an elderly cat to euthanasia, with specific mentions of vets explaining what was wrong and talking families through decisions. Reviews also suggest the clinic sees a wide mix of animals, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and small exotics (e.g., snakes, rats). One reviewer, however, reports a negative experience and felt the practice was “about money not the animals,” which conflicts with multiple accounts of compassionate crisis care.
