Cedar Vets

Cedar Vets describes itself as an independent practice that has provided pet care since 1893. The website highlights a focus on preventative healthcare via its Lifetime Care Club, which is stated to include free consultations with vets and nurses for members. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention clear explanations and advice (including being reassured after an appointment) and practical continuity for complex cases—one reviewer describes pets with diabetes, pancreatitis, Cushing’s syndrome, mammary tumours, dental disease (“rotten teeth”) and eye loss, with treatment plans discussed in detail and honesty when end-of-life was near.
