Emergencies and out-of-hours
Emergencies occurring during our normal working hours will always be dealt with as a priority.
To keep our team fresh and at their best every day, they need their rest! Therefore, we use a dedicated out-of-hours provider to deal with any emergencies occurring outside of our normal working hours.
The vets and nurses on duty there work only nights and weekends, so they are always at their best when we are resting, ready for the following day. They can offer advice over the telephone where appropriate and have fully-equipped facilities dedicated to emergency care at their base near Castell Coch, easily accessible by car.
We believe this offers the best level of care to you and your pet.

Fees
As there is no NHS for pets, all private veterinary practices are funded by the fees you pay. We try to keep our fees reasonable while maintaining and constantly improving the level of service, expertise and equipment at the surgery. We will always provide a detailed treatment plan and associated costs.
The Live Well Vet Club helps spread the cost of routine preventative care.
We also recommend pet insurance to cover any unforeseen illnesses or injuries.
Inpatients
Occasionally pets may need to stay overnight if they are particularly unwell or receiving fluids or medicines throughout the night. Sometimes, it is appropriate for them to stay at one of our surgeries, but if they require intensive monitoring, we may transfer them to our out-of-hours provider.
This is assessed on a case-by-case basis, with our focus always on what offers your pet the best level of care and quickest recovery.
Surgery
Operations are performed Monday to Friday in our dedicated theatres. Most patients return home the same day.
We recommend pre-anaesthetic blood testing to help assess and minimise any risk associated with anaesthesia and surgery – your vet or nurse will discuss this with you on a case-by-case basis.
As standard, we provide intravenous fluid and full monitoring of blood pressure, ECG and temperature during anaesthesia.
Our operating tables are heated to keep your pet warm while they are sleeping, and they will be monitored throughout by a qualified veterinary nurse.
They will recover in a warm, quiet, comfortable environment and will be allowed home as soon as they are ready.
Repeat Prescriptions
Please allow 48 hours for any repeat medication or food requests, so we can have any items ready in stock and checked by a vet.

Visiting specialists & referrals
We use a team of visiting specialists to provide referral-level services in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, dermatology, diagnostic imaging and cardiology. We have carefully selected experts in these areas who we trust to provide the best care for your pet. They visit us as and when needed and will see your pet at one of our surgeries, assisted by your usual veterinary team.
This removes the need for you to travel to an unfamiliar hospital with unfamiliar faces, making the experience much less stressful for you and your pet.
Occasionally pets require treatment or facilities beyond that which we and our specialists can offer. On these occasions, we will only send you and your pet to a specialist we trust to offer the highest level of care.
Euthanasia
Should the sad time arrive that you have to consider saying goodbye to your pet, rest assured that our entire team have received training in pet bereavement. We can offer a nurse consultation to discuss the procedure ahead of time and to support you afterwards.
We are always available for a chat if you have any concerns or wish to discuss any aspect of this part of our service.
