Veterinary care in Cardiff

“Cardiff cat clinic is excellent. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my pet’s care. I know they do their very best for my cat’s health and well-being. Kitty has passed away since I first wrote this review. She was poorly for a long time but still enjoying life. Lois and Anne were the most compassionate people I could have asked for to deal with the decision to end her suffering when it was the right time.”

“We received excellent care and treatment for our senior dog, Ollie. We were able to book same day appointments and he received the best care from Dr Lorenzo. Highly recommend”

“Went yesterday 28/03/25 and saw the new vet with my GSD Raya. Iv kept dogs since I was 18 so numerous vets visits and the lady I saw yesterday was by far the best kindest most knowledgeable and enthusiastic vet I have ever seen. She was new to the practice but didn't get her name I'm just so thankful that I feel I have left with understanding and correct treatment plans rather than popping pills and hoping for the best until another ear infection. Thank u so much and Oxford vets she's a keeper!!! ☺️☺️”

“Took our dog for annual boosters, they gave her a check and she was fine. I recommend the monthly plan for checkups and boosters”

“Always a friendly person on reception, and a calm environment. Helpful and informative and explains things to me in language I can understand (no medical jargon). My cat Loki is scared to be there, as I'm sure all pets are at the vets, but the vets are always gentle and allow him to explore the room a little. Don't have pics of the vets, but you can have pics of my boy instead, lol.”

“Friendly and dedicated staff, who really care for the animals”

“Took our Westie pup for registration check up. As first time owners in our family (though parents have dogs) we were not sure what to expect. The team were very welcoming and friendly. Our vet Rachel was super knowledgable and thorough, and gave us great advice. I’m sure we’ll have many more good things to say over the coming years.”

“A very welcoming and engaging Veterinary practice. Staff always helpful and accomodating where and when they can. They go over and above always”

“Our cats had their annual boosters and we went to the new Caerphilly Vet Practice in Castle View. What an amazing facility. It is modern, clean and well designed. It started with a warm welcome on reception from Sue and Tracy and then there was a special cat waiting area to help them feel safe. Lucy the vet treated our cats like they were her own and we felt they were in safe hands. We would recommend Caerphilly Vets.”

“Thank you everyone at Vale in Newport. Always care for our Winnie amazingly. Very friendly and no hidden costs. The VIP scheme they have for dogs certainly pays for itself and saves you money.”

“Lovely staff, treated me and my two kittens fantastic. The vet himself was very informative, offering loads of helpful info whilst treating my two with absolute care. I would highly recommend.”

“I can't thank the staff here enough. We called in desperate need of an urgent appointment for our 8 month old french bulldog Martha-May. The reception staff were extremely helpful and very kindly booked us in straight away. From start to finish, the veterinary team was extremely attentive to Martha-May and could not do enough for her and us. All staff provided a professional and friendly service. We can not recommend the PDSA enough, and I would kindly ask for people to donate any old blankets or towels you may have as they are always in need of these items. Once again, thank you to all the staff of the PDSA cardiff.”

“This was our 1st time of going here with our new puppy. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted by really lovely friendly staff, who went out of their way for us, to make us & our puppy feel welcome & at ease. The vet was really nice. She explained everything to us & answered any questions we had. She was so good with our puppy. She put us all at ease practically straight away. We're even now going to be taking our older dog here as well. We would definitely recommend them to anyone & everyone, for all your pet needs. You won't be disappointed. We cannot praise them enough.”

“Excellent Vets, I have been with them for 10 years and have never been disappointed. The nurses and receptionists are always polite, friendly, and helpful, typical bubbly valley girls ( I'm English, for my sins, lol ). I always get a quick appointment. Would highly recommend.”

“We had what turned out to be a bit of an emergency the other day. The vets handled it perfectly and probably saved our dog's life. Always good service here. Thank you ❤️”

“I’ve used this practice before for emergency out of hours treatment and they have always been wonderful. Two years ago they saved my cats life and I’m forever grateful to them. Two days ago I had to rush my boy back in at night there and sadly he didn’t make it. My partner and I were deeply traumatised but the staff were all brilliant, kind, compassionate and caring. I couldn’t have asked for better people around me during this very difficult time. From the receptionist to the assistant vet nurses and special mention to head vet Jon, thank you sincerely for making one of life’s difficult moments easier to bear because of your care and thoughtfulness. Thank you to nurse Liane for taking paw prints and fur of my boy so I can remember him. Please continue your exceptional care and genuine love of animals so other pet parents in similar circumstances also feel so cared for.”

“Absolutely lovely vets! Treated my puppy like a baby! Excellent service and very kind! Thanks”

“We got an emergency appointment on a Saturday after not long moving to the area when other local vets had turned us away. The vet was really good with our dog and the staff were very friendly and helpful.”

“My cat was registered with Beaconsfield Veterinary Clinic for most of his life. When he hurt his eye & developed an eye ulcer, their care & advice was first rate. The staff are compassionate & caring towards pets & owners. When my precious little cat got old, he attended several senior Cat Clinics & they were quick to identify health problems & offer advice. Sadly, when the time came & my precious boy was dying, the Veterinary Doctor advised me on when was the best time to let him go. Not only were they kind, humane & professional towards my boy, but they made sure I was comforted too. I have no regrets about any of the treatment they offered. They were always looking out for my pet's welfare & worked to ensure that he had a long & happy life. Some treatments, although potentially expensive, were always done with a full explanation of what was needed & why. I have no reservations about recommending this practice and I would like to thank them for their care of my beautiful cat.”

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

“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.”

“Ivor was poorly a few months ago and Cerys put him back on track ...Cerys had updates on Ivor every other day which in my eyes was an excellent caring service which both myself and Ivor are very thankful for”

“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.”
