Clinic Overview

Cardiff Llanrumney Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and is an RCVS Practice Standards Scheme Award practice. The clinic lists a broad range of in-house diagnostics and surgery facilities (including an in-house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, operating theatre, and separate dog and cat wards). Recent reviews repeatedly describe orthopaedic knee work (luxating patella and cruciate ligament repair), including vets phoning owners during surgery to discuss findings and options while the pet was still under anaesthetic.

Reviews also mention follow-up after end-of-life decisions (calls in the following days and a condolence card). A small number of reviews raise concerns about admin/record-keeping (a pet “not on the system” leading to extra exam charges) and about being redirected elsewhere for an injured wild bird rather than being provided antibiotics.

Reviews

  • Orthopaedic outcomes are a repeated theme, especially knee surgery (luxating patella; cruciate ligament repair), with owners describing improved mobility within weeks.
  • Communication during treatment is specifically praised: one owner describes a vet coming out mid-operation and calling to explain what was found and to ask permission to do an additional cruciate repair.
  • Aftercare and compassion around end-of-life: follow-up calls in the days after, help with paperwork, and a condolence card are mentioned.
  • Urgent situations: one reviewer says an emergency was handled “perfectly” and that it “probably saved our dog’s life.”
  • Negative experiences appear in a small minority of the latest reviews
  • one owner reports repeated issues with their cat “not on the system,” leading to extra exam charges when trying to obtain flea treatment;
  • another reviewer was unhappy they were directed to a wildlife charity for an injured dove and felt the clinic lacked help in that situation.
