Pets in Cardiff

“My two elderly dogs, a Cockapoo and a Bichonpoo, have just returned from a stay at the kennels, and I am delighted with the care they received. Both have complicated medication needs, which the kennels were able to accommodate with no issues. The pictures on Facebook of them playing outside with toys gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Laura was very informative and caring, and even gave them a bath at the end of their stay, which I was truly grateful for!”

“I absolutely love sue the receptionist she will do her up most best to help me and my pooch.”

“I’ve been using St David vets for over 20 years and my pets have always received excellent care from the vets and nurses. The admin staff are excellent too!”

“Charlotte is an outstanding vet: knowledgeable, sensible, a fantastic diagnostician, and has been brilliant with all our rescue dogs. The nurses are fantastic too. We've been using this practice for nearly twenty years and trust them 100% - would never consider going anywhere else.”

“Lovely, family run local pub. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming!”

“Just been to this vets for the first time as we are on holiday in Watchet and my sproker, Barney, had become unwell. They were amazing!! 5 star service. When I called at lunchtime, they were full but within minutes the lovely lady on reception called me back after they had a cancellation. I saw Paul, the vet, he was amazing with my reactive dog, very knowledgeable and calm and kind and efficiently treated him. I can't thank them enough.”

“I shopped here for the first day today.. what an amazing bunch of staff working there! They really took the time to help me find things and when they didn’t stock what I need they recommend another local shop! Superb service from Ben Who asked how I was and showed me his new haircut! Lisa is awesome too! I won’t shop at these big Supermarkets anymore! These guys treat you like an individual and not just a transaction at the till!”

“Beautiful place to stay. Surrounded by sheep and fields, a quaint farm cottage to stay in which is really accessible to the local area for exploring. Kitchen had a nespresso, toaster and kettle and everything you need. The garden was immaculate as well. The owners were welcoming and left us to enjoy the stay in their peaceful farmhouse setting.”

“A family run pharmacy with excellent service, really feel they put the customers first! Only pharmacy I know that you feel they properly go above and beyond to ensure you get what you need. Also a very nice shop itself and a nice friendly atmosphere in there. Have been running additional Covid-19 services throughout the pandemic.”

“All the staff here are so friendly and helpful, we’re always put at ease and feel listened to. The reception staff always seem pleased to see us and are kind and warm with us even when our dogs are behaving less than perfectly. The clinician I have seen has always taken the time to listen to concerns and explain things clearly as well as offer advice.”

“Visited Shepherds to have my 18+ cat euthanized. Was directed to sideroom as I was upset.Cerys,the nurse took details and she deserves 15 out of 10 for her empathy,reassurance and kindness.Lowri the vet was lovely too and administered drug and Milly passed peacefully and I held her and said my goodbyes.”

“Really lovely clean rooms with a 10/10 breakfast, welcoming kind staff and the perfect setting for children with the small park and fish pond. My only feedback would be the curtains. The room was lovely and bright, as the front wall and door are all windows, but this did mean that it didn't get fully dark until gone 10pm (if at all) and was very bright by 5am, granted this was exacerbated by having a toddler in tow, so might not bother others as much. We will be back for sure!”

“Acorn Campsite is an absolute stunner of a place to stay. They have static caravans, glamping options, and a campsite. We stayed in our bell tent at the back field, which was really clean. Showers and toilets were excellent, staff were friendly, the café is great, and there’s a decent selection of beers. Highly recommended.”

“We had Ladies Captains Away Day on 8th August and it was absolutely fantastic. Golf course condition was perfect, customer service in Pro shop was excellent and food was absolutely amazing. Thank you very much for a wonderful day. LC Jo Xxx”

“Brilliant soft play area with area as well for under 1 years. The pumpkin picking patch was picturesque and such a great spot for children of all ages to explore and enjoy. Food was great, with good selection. Their tuna jacket potatoe was spot on and the 'dead' velvet cake was devine!”

“Absolutely cracking Sunday Roast. Wonderful, friendly service. Good portions and extra gravy without asking! We will be back!”

“The food here was amazing! So deserving of their recognition and I was super impressed by the service. They were highly considerate of allergies/dietary restrictions and had a good selection when it came to wine etc. The prices are reasonable, and as such super good value. I can highly recommend visiting this place!”

“One of the best farm days out we have had. Really good value for money. There's loads to see and do here like Tractor rides, quads in the barn etc. Highly recommend for all the family.”

“We received excellent service from fabulous staff after an emergency with our Labrador on Christmas morning! We had an appointment within an hour of contact and when we arrived were seen straight away! Our dog is nervous attending the vet but after successful treatment and the care of the staff he was absolutely fine!! A huge thank you to the staff at Vets Now!!!”

“Ideal location just staying off the M4. Yes you can hear the noisy traffic but its not disturbed our sleep - the heavy rain did more damage to that ( and some dogs barking!!) Amazing family bathroom - with shower, bath and toilet all in one room for young families only. Everything is clean tidy, level gravel pitch. Very friendly staff. We have enjoyed our stay here with out 3 young children. So much room to go off on our bikes, play park etc.”

“Everyone at this surgery was so calm, understanding and made our dog (and us) feel really at ease. The vet spent time to answer all of our questions and gave us great advice. The receptionists were really helpful too! Thank you! :)”

“I stayed with them this last week and I must say the experience was delightful! The staff and atmosphere was lovely and the stay itself was super nice and comfortable. But the main star of my stay was the breathtaking view from my room which i couldnt get enough of! I will definitely be staying with them again”

“Four adults and a four year old. We've just returned from a fantastic weeks stay at Riverside. Yes, there were a couple of negatives, and no, we didn't raise them at the time as we managed to combat them, and they didn't distract from the really good time we had. The caravan we stayed in was a six birth. Whilst there were ample cutlery, crockery & and glassware, we felt that the pans provided were of poor quality and inadequate. There was only one shelf in the oven. We expected that there should be two. And lastly (and it's the same issue at virtually every other holiday let We've stayed ), the knives in the knife block were all blunt. (The wife's tongue is sharper). May have as well used a hatchet. Apart from those minor issues, the caravan was clean and tidy. The site was well laid out and well maintained. All the staff were helpful and friendly and went about their duties diligently. We only used the restaurant a couple of times. I'm not a fan of carveries myself. However, I have to admit that the one we had at Riverside was really enjoyable. We also sampled the "build your own pizza." Outstanding. It's probably the best pizzas we've had. Pleasantly surprised at the prices at the bar too. It's more than reasonable. Well stocked with a wide choice of drinks. Apparently, we visited during the last week of low season and were informed that most of the week it would be quiet and entertainment would mainly consist of bingo, quizzes and karaoke. The best would be done to involve any children (of which there were very few). Lee, did an excellent job keeping us entertained. The bingo and quizzes were made really entertaining, and the children always came away "winning" and ice cream despite not even playing. For the number of people that were there most evenings, the prizes were very good. To summarize a very clean site offering friendly value for money service and amenities.”

“I am so very sad to see this wonderful practice close. Since 2017 they have cared for my dogs in such a professional, kind and caring manner. Marj Edwards in particular has treated some of mine with homeopathy alongside conventional medicine, actually allowing my whippet, Rupert, to enjoy eleven comfortable months following a terminal cancer diagnosis in 2017. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Marj and also to Rhian who was so kind when I had to make the decision to have my greyhound, Wilson, put to sleep only four days after he became ill so suddenly. Of course I hope more than anything to see the practice reopen and will return immediately. However Marj Edwards will be a hard act to follow. Thank you Marj for seven years of outstanding veterinary care. Thank you too from my current two, Guinness and Adrian.”

“My dog broke his leg a couple of months ago & the whole team from the very start have been amazing. A big thank you to the Nurses, Vets & Receptionists for their care. Wouldn't go anywhere else!”

“I visited Fairwater practice this morning concerned about my 12 year old dogs teeth and whether or not he would need a scale and Polish under general anesthetic. The vet explained that at 12 years old my dog doesn't need any procedures that aren't necessary.Once he checked my dogs teeth and gums he said the best thing to do would be to carry on brushing daily as we are doing at the moment , they weren't that bad , I appreciated his honesty as it saved my dog and us a lot of stress and money .”

“Brought our 2 new puppies here for their second vaccinations. All staff we encountered were so lovely, the vet was great with them, and the appointment went without a hitch. Not only is it close to where we live, so that is great, they do a healthcare plan too. 10/10 recommend to everyone. :-)”

“Had a good experience here as we brought our cat here. Pleased that the vet didn't try to fleece us for all our money, even saying that she won't recommend one of their products as it can be found cheaper elsewhere. That's appreciated as vets are known for trying to get every penny.”

“Best vets ever treated both of my dogs there and the staff care about them. Fair pricing”
