Veterinary care in Barry

“Would give this vets 10/10 if I could as they saved my dog’s life.. The staff were fantastic. We were half way to our holiday when we ran in sat 9/08/2025.. So a big thank you to them..”

“Staff very friendly & always have time for you while attending the practice. Reception & consulting rooms extremely clean & tidy along with the weighing area. We have attended this practice for many years & have always been happy with the treatment all our dogs have received from Sara & other attending Vets.”

“Excellent shop with excellent staff, can't thank Chloe enough for all her help and knowledge and the boss man for helping us out with the perfect cage.. we have 2 very beautiful very happy cockatiels and 1 even happier little boy ❤️”

“Lovely staff, we got 3 kitties we taken there and they are all well cared for... they are happy healthy furbabies...”

“Girls in the salon are the greatest. Always happy and willing to help. Always show so much love and care for the dogs.”

“This veterinary practice is brilliant! I have been 100% happy and trust them implicitly to care for my dogs. Today was no exception. I am currently fostering a mixed breed dog, Spotty, from Romanian (Amicili dog rescued). She is naturally a very nervous and anxious little girl. I have had her since 19/11/23 and while she has made a lot of progress, she remains naturally very fearful of unfamiliar people, barking and backing away from them. Spotty needed to be weighed for her flea and worming treatment, and a check over by the vet. I also took my spaniel Nia as company. Spotty didn't hesitate, as I had anticipated, going into the practice and I attribute this to the calm atmosphere of the surgery made by all the staff. I cannot thank the vet Mirac and veterinary nurse Tracey enough for their quiet, caring patience and the time they took to gain Spottys confidence. They were amazing, not just with Spotty but also Nia (whose mission was to snaffle any stray treats!). Mirac was able to examine Spotty. I was overwhelmed as I had anticipated Spottys resistance and the whole experience being stressful for her. I don't know how long Spotty will be with me before she finds her forever home, but if she needs to visit the veterinary practice again, I hope she will remember today's positive experience. Thank you all so very much.”

“Frank and Narla had a two week stay with Puss in Rhoose. All of our cats medication needs were met and our two were allowed to share a suite. They had the choice of both indoor and outdoor space which they could mooch in and out of depending on their mood. Both spaces are very hygienic and the food is supplied unless like us your cat has dietary needs which Donata was happy to use our own. Thank you for looking after our moggies and I would highly recommend this place......for cats obviously.”

“I have been with Richard and Vale Vets for the last 10 years and I have had nothing but a great service throughout those years. More recently this past December my dog Lexi who is now 13 years old went in for a general check of health, but Richard discovered a mass growing in her stomach. It was not looking good for Lexi as she was an older dog. We didn't know how she was going to react to surgery, we didn't know whether or not she would survive the anesthetic and we did know how much of the mass had integrated into the rest of her body. We made the decision to go ahead with the surgery to give Lexi the best chance of surviving. Richard and his team went above and beyond to care for Lexi and I could never have asked for a greater group of people to care for her. Somehow Richard managed to remove a two kilogram mass from Lexi, Lexi only being 18 kilogram to start with. The surgery was successful and Lexi had come out of the anesthetic. We went in to the surgery to meet with Richard and to see Lexi for the first time, we were given all of the options where it was a 50/50 chance whether or not Lexi would survive the night and we made the decision that we would care for her at home regardless of the outcome, which we had the full support of Richard and his team and again I echo that they were amazing and went above and beyond their job and they there responsibilities. Richard didn't have to do this but he kept in touch with me. He was about to go on holiday with his family, but he kept in touch with me all the way through the night to make sure that Lexi was still going strong. Lexi made it through the night. Lexi was back at the surgery the next day to have a check up, watching her walk back into the building was one of the proudest things I've seen that old dog do. She was greeted with affection from everybody and by this time everybody had heard the story of Lexi and everyone was truly amazed that she had pulled through what was a horrific surgery. We are now three months on and Lexi is doing better than ever. She is running around with our kids, still thinking she is still a puppy. Lexi would not be here if it wasn't for Richard and the team at Barry Vale Vets. We could never thank you all enough.”

“Little Westra welcomed our Beagle with a friendly team. I was shown around the kennels and facilities beforehand, which was reassuring for a first timer. Our dog seemed happy enough after his 8 day stay and did not have too much of the usual kennel smell which has happened at a different kennel. Overall I would recommend Little Westra and will use them again should the need arise.”

“Sue is a lovely lady who has looked after our two cats on a couple of occasions and we can certainly recommend her. She has been pet sitting for 25 years so you can be assured that your animals are in experienced hands. She always messages to let us know how they are, and we return to happy cats - what more could we ask for?”
