Located on the west coast of Wales, Ceredigion was so-named in 1996 when it replaced the historic county of Cardiganshire. Several large towns are scattered throughout the county with Aberystwyth being the largest. In line with the rest of the UK there are plenty of pet lovers in the area, all of whom need a variety of pet services. Holiday time means that businesses like Jolly Hill Cattery in Llandysul are kept very busy with a succession of owners dropping off their cats for varying periods.
Vets are kept busy too, with Steffan Veterinary Services in Lampeter and Priory Vets in Aberaeron being just two of Ceredigion’s many practices that specialise in small animals. Pet shops normally keep a good selection of pet beds, cages, food and accessories for almost any need. Some of these include Cardigan Pet Centre in Cardigan, Karen’s Pets & Plants in Llandysul plus Aber Pet Shop in Aberystwyth. Llandysul is also the base for Animal Rescue Cymru. They look after many distressed dogs and cats until they can be safely re-homed.
