As an owner of a gorgeous golden retriever, Molly, I've used this veterinary practice on a number…read moreof occasions since she was a puppy. It's only been opened a couple of years, but it was recommended to me after a friend had been using another branch in their practice. It's located on a steep hill, with roadside parking outside, and a disabled access if needed. I've only been to visit for routine vaccinations, but the vets and reception staff that I have had dealings with have been exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation recommending these vets to any pet owners.

When I left home, my pets all stayed with my mum. It's their home and they're happy there so I…read morewould never dream of uprooting them and bringing them to Cardiff. Still, I miss them all like crazy and none of the places I've lived in here allow pets so there's this huge animal-shaped hole in my life. Pets at Home provides some relief from this. Firstly, and most obviously, I get to go and enjoy the cute animals they have there. My favourites are the guinea pigs and the Roborovski hamsters, and I can quite easily spend a good hour in there debating whether my landlord would notice if I bought one. I am eternally disappointed that there are no mice here, but any cute animals will amuse me well enough. Secondly, since I miss my cats and dog so much, and feel pretty bad for abandoning them, I regularly pop in to buy them treats and toys to take home with me. The range of beds is particularly good, which is handy when you have a dog as destructive as mine. This branch also has a Companion Care Vetinary Centre (02920 232 957).

I'm a sucker for pet shops, and I particularly love this chain of pet supermarkets. Although you…read morecan often pick up bits and bobs at little independent pet shops, when you need several things it's often easier to head straight to Pets at Home. My only complaint is that this branch (perhaps it's the same at all Pets at Home branches?) don't sell the dog food I buy (Harrington's), so I still have to pick that up elsewhere. For pick 'n' mix dog treats, squeaky toys, and accessories such as shampoo, bowls, leads and collars, however, Pets at Home has far more choice than most smaller pet shops. The staff all seem real animal-lovers, and if you take your dog in with you they often ask if they can give it a treat or two. Just be prepared for your dog to get into a right frenzy over all the food smells luring them from aisle to aisle - oh, and watch them if you go near the rabbit and guinea pig enclosures!

Croesco Veterinary Hospital is an exceptionally busy veterinary practice that inhabits a large…read morebuilding on Witchurch Road in Heath. They are essentially the only veterinary hospital in Cardiff, offering comprehensive health care to domestic animals. The Hospital is equipped to the highest standards and has its own x-ray development and laboratory facilities which means that diagnoses can be made rapidly, minimizing the distress to the animals being treated, and can obviously save lives where conditions could prove fatal if not treated immediately. Thy also have on-call residential nurses to look after animals that require overnight convalescence after operations have been performed, or who need to be monitored for other reasons. They have a few off-road parking spaces out at the front, but there's also a large car park at the rear. All pet owners should know about this hospital. It is definitely the place to take badly injured pets after road accidents, and other potentially fatal traumas. They also own the Penarth Pet Health Centre in Penarth.

What might one want of a veterinarian? That he takes care of your animal? That he's professional,…read moreaccessible and responsive to your personal needs? That he engages with you, his client? That he provides value for money? Were I to score Martin Francis on this basis, even a bit harshly, it would go tick tick tick cross. He's always been spot on with diagnosis and treatment, even sending me home without charge when in a panic I'd dragged our wee terror there with a limp caused by him crashing through a fence, but as it turned out with an immediate visual inspection he'd only got a dead leg so CALM DOWN. He likes the fact that our dog is all bluff and bravado befitting a Jack Russell cross but in fact he's delicate like a little flower - aw poor puppy dog - 'cos he's got allergies and sneezes a lot and over grooms - it's not his fault, he's unhappy because he's uncomfortable so we give him hugs. Ahem. You might guess he humours our misguided anthropomorphic projections whilst remaining pragmatic and reasonably (and proportionately) didactic. However, there's something galling about forking over £50 for a check up for him to simply write a prescription for more steroids (another £6) which all takes a matter of 120 seconds and costs him no more than a green-lipped mussell flavoured doggy treat (most dogs won't touch 'em, so I'm told) and a bit of cleaning up (puppy loses lots of fur due to his malfunctioning endocrine system as a result of steroid use to combat allergies to grass, pollen, dust and dust mites and dust mite feces and his own hair and dirt and floor polish and carpets and biscuit mites - it's endless). Hence cross at the end of my scoring analogy. Bored? Sorry, I'll put this thing to bed. OK, services great, vet great, parking difficult sometimes but no problem, cost extortionate! But then, maybe we've the only 'roid guzzling allergen magnet in Cardiff and it's our own fault for not taking the shitzu when we had the chance. Cruel fate or not, Martin Francis is still a top quality vet.

The Veterinary Centre is situated on Wellington New Road and is near Musgrove Hospital. The car park is quite small, although there is enough spaces for the visitors.

I would recommend this vets as they charge reasonable prices, although it is slightly out of Taunton which may be inconvenient. This is one of the best in Taunton.
