Cedar Vets is an independent veterinary clinic (the website says it has been independent since 1893). Recent reviews suggest it’s set up for routine care plus same-day urgent assessments, with owners describing being “fitted straight in” for sudden wobbliness in a terrier and being offered a same-day visit or a home visit after a phone call about a cat’s bowel issue. Practical details mentioned by owners include a large practice with big waiting rooms, and one reviewer says there is a “calm cat corner” for anxious cats.
