7 Questions You Should Ask Before Choosing a Vet in Caerphilly

1. Will I get to know who cares for my pet?

At Live Well Vets Caerphilly, we prioritise building lasting relationships with both you and your furry companions. We understand the comfort of seeing a familiar face who knows your pet’s history and quirks. That’s why we strive to ensure you see the same vet or nurse each visit, fostering a sense of trust and continuity in care. Our family-centred ethos extends to our team and customers alike, where your pets are treated as our own. Expect warm greetings, treats, and cuddles, as we genuinely enjoy catching up with both pets and people. Your pets’ well-being is our privilege, and we’re here to ensure they live their best lives.

We pride ourselves on our staff, and our staff take pride in the plave they work. Everyone is passionate about their profession and regular attend professional development courses throughout they year to make sure they are up-to-date with advances in both medicine and surgery. We encourage everyone to develop their passions, and after extensive training and gaining post-graduate qualifications in their chosen area, we have two vets who offer second opinion services to our clients and anyone else who needs them. We offer an eye clinic with our certificate holder in ophthalmology.

We also have a certificate holder in surgery who has a particular interest in soft tissue and BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery, which helps address the range of breathing problems often seen in flat-faced dog breeds. You don’t need to be registered with us to use these services, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss a relevant condition and how we might be able to help you.
