A
brief history of the Croeso Veterinary Hospital
 The
practice was established in 1972 in Whitchurch Road, Cardiff,
caring mostly for companion animals. In recent years the
premises has been expanded and developed in order to gain
Hospital status as recognised by the Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons. The practice is maintained and run
according to the high standards of the British Veterinary
Hospitals Association whose inspectors examine such premises
Regularly. The Hospital is equipped to the highest standards
and has its own x-ray development and laboratory facilities
on site so that diagnoses may be made with minimum delay.
The Hospital benefits from having a large private parking
area at the rear, access to which is shown on the directions
map. |
The Penarth Pet Health Centre
was opened at 2F Cornerswell Road in summer of 1995. Consultations
at both branches are available by appointment and both have
full access to the facilities of the Hospital.
