New £1.7m practice set for launch

An open day is due to take place at the new Caerphilly Vets premises this Saturday (5 July), before the first patients go through the doors next week.The new facility at the town’s Castle View Shopping Centre offers six consulting rooms, including one solely for cats, two operating theatres, a dental suite, laboratory facilities and separate kennels for cats and dogs.

The VetPartners-owned business has operated from a town centre site, which it says it has now outgrown because of demand, for more than 40 years.

‘Outstanding care’

But while that site will continue to operate as a branch surgery, practice manager Sarah Light said the new clinic will “transform” the offer to clients.

She added: “We pride ourselves on offering outstanding care for our patients and we’ve opened the new clinic because we want to help more pets and introduce new services as we are already at full capacity in Market Street.

“We’ve spent the last seven months making the space our own and everything has been carefully designed to ensure that visiting the vets is as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners.

“Clients can also be assured that our team remains the same, and they will continue to see the vets, nurses and receptionists that they know and trust.”

A range of new services including specialist surgeries and pet confidence clinics are among the plans for the new practice, which is due to welcome its first patients on Monday (7 July).
