About us

We are lucky to be situated in an extremely diverse area. South Wales and in particular, Cardiff and its surroundings, really are something very special. Within easy commuting distance of all of our practices, you can be living in the vibrant city centre of Cardiff, surround yourself with nature and tranquillity in the coastal towns of the Vale of Glamorgan, or the mountains of the Valleys and Brecon Beacons National Park.

The hospital site is a busy referral and emergency centre, covering the out of hours provision for our branches and approximately 40 local practices. With our new rota design, we aim to achieve a seamless 24/7 emergency service to our clients and user practices, accepting inpatient transfers and emergency cases throughout the day. The role would be perfect for vets with a specific interest in ECC work, with the opportunity for certificate study if desired. The daytime ECC vets will have the excitement of an ECC role but with the added benefit of no long night hours and plenty of time to enjoy the local area!

The hospital boasts a CT scanner, advanced ultrasonography equipment, endosurgery facilities, extensive blood analysis equipment, dedicated orthopaedic, soft tissue and exotic theatres, as well as a dedicated dental suite.

We also proudly host pet blood bank sessions to provide much needed support to our veterinary community which has so far received outstanding feedback.

Our culture is one that values not only our patients and clients but our team as well. We truly believe that by looking after our teams, the highest levels of patient and client care will naturally follow.
