Vale Vets is an RCVS Cat Friendly Clinic and a Veterinary Nurse Training facility, offering routine care through to surgery and rehabilitation for a wide range of pets (including cats, dogs, small mammals and reptiles/birds as listed on its website). The clinic also offers emergency care, with one reviewer describing reassuring, calm out-of-hours communication before being seen. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - dental work including a cat tooth extraction mentioned explicitly - unhurried consultations where the vet “clarified all the information” - careful handling for nervous pets (including sedation for a dog that won’t tolerate vaccinations) There is also a clear minority negative report alleging poor medical knowledge and an unwillingness to admit mistakes, which conflicts with many other reviews describing good outcomes and clear communication.

Vale Vets Clevedon (Alexandra Veterinary Surgery) is a small-animal practice that, based on client accounts, handles routine care (vaccinations and check-ups) as well as ongoing management for chronic conditions (an older diabetic cat is specifically mentioned). Owners repeatedly describe being able to get help quickly—several reviews mention same-day appointments after calling with concerns, including a same-day vaccination/check-up slot. The practice also appears set up to support owners with decision-making: one client specifically names a vet (Marina) who “took time” to explain options so they could choose a treatment plan for their dog. Pet-owner “pet plans” are mentioned as available and “worth it,” though no plan details are provided in the sources.

Golden Valley Vets is a multi-site practice (reviews mention this branch is part of a bigger practice with its own operating theatre). The website describes a broad offering from routine preventative care through to advanced imaging and surgery, with facilities including an in-house laboratory, surgical theatres, dental facilities, laser therapy, and advanced CT/MRI imaging. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention fast diagnostics (blood tests and follow-on investigations with results across consecutive days) and thoughtful end-of-life arrangements (a separate, living-room-style space rather than a standard consult room). Pricing is a mixed point: some reviewers call charges “abysmal” or “stupid charges,” while another mentions a “really fair price” for an online prescription.
