What We Offer
Our Comprehensive Referral Services
At Live Well Vets, we offer referral services for orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries, eye clinic services, and cardiology, ensuring high-quality, cost-effective care tailored to support local veterinarians. We also provide the convenience of direct claims, making it easier for pet owners to manage their pet’s healthcare expenses.
CT Referrals
CT Referrals for Dogs & Cats in South Wales
If you need advanced imaging support, you can refer dogs and cats to Live Well Vets in Caerphilly and Llantrisant for outpatient CT scanning. We handle nurse-led admission, a pre-sedation health check by one of our vets and the CT scan itself, then discharge the pet back to their owner the same day. This is a scan-and-report-only service – we don’t take over the case. CT images and a clear written report are sent straight back to you so you can discuss the results and ongoing treatment with your client.
