We are a Primary Care Practice for small animals, which established itself amongst the Swansea community, providing care for thousands of pets every year. Being RCVS accredited, we are dedicated to continuously improving our quality of care and service.

We are a modern practice with a good range of equipment including digital x-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy (and rigid endoscopy), ligasure, full orthopaedic kit and dental radiography. We have two theatres and a strong team assisting each other to provide the very best care to our patients and their owners.
