Park Vets – Vets in Cardiff
Clinic Overview
Park Vets describes itself as one of the oldest veterinary practices, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews point to a practice handling both routine and more involved work: dental procedures with multiple extractions, surgery for a neck problem, and treatment for serious illness in a kitten. Experiences are mixed: several owners describe gentle handling and successful outcomes after procedures, while one recent 1‑star review alleges a pet died shortly after a “routine procedure,” and another 1‑star review is present without details.

Took our dachshund Seth here after he had some issues with his stomach. As we recently moved to the area, we were nervous about approaching a new vets! However, my worries were quickly dissipated by the wonderful service we received from the team at Park Vets, especially to Dr Jess Reader. She was so gentle, loving and caring towards my pooch. He was definitely in safe hands! Thank you for a brilliant service.

We have used Park Vets for the past 25+ years and always found them excellent. Over the last nine months our dog Harry who was 15 under went an operation on his neck. It was a great success and he bounced out of it, with a new lease of life. Sadly he was taken ill in July and it was decided he would have teeth out. Following tests it was found he was a very poorly boy. We made the sad decision for him to be put to sleep. Through all of this the practise were excellent, in particular Michaela made this sad process easier to bear. All staff were so lovely and supportive. I would recommend them to everyone.

I’m very grateful to all of the staff at Park Vets. My beautiful Maunecoon kitten Quinn was extremely unwell and could’ve died but his life has been saved thanks to all you. X The last two pictures were when was very scared and very sick but he’s great today! 😁

We have always had a positive experience with park any time we have needed to visit. Last October my little man went in for a well over due dental and teeth extraction. I was petrified as he has some issues with his trachea, so had to convince myself it was the best thing for him and his long-term health despite my anxiety over him going under anaesthetic. I really didn’t need to worry as they did an amazing job looking after him and he was back to his usual self within a couple of days, just with 12 teeth missing 🫣his mouth healed lovely and no further issues with his trachea at all. Couldn’t recommend them more ❤️
