The Rescue Hotel Health Centre opened in 2021 thanks to the passion and support of The Rescue Hotel charity, Cardiff Dogs Home, and our amazing vet, Jamie Allen.

Jamie brings over 30 years of veterinary experience to the Health Centre, having worked across Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. For more than 15 years, he has been the trusted vet for Cardiff Dogs Home, caring for hundreds of dogs and helping to give them a second chance at life. After almost two decades of running one of the largest groups of veterinary surgeries in South Wales, Jamie wanted to do something different – create a place where the focus is on accessible, affordable care for every dog.

With the support of The Rescue Hotel and Cardiff Dogs Home, that dream became a reality. Jamie is joined by our friendly and skilled Veterinary Nurse, Emma, who has experience in both general practice and specialist referral care. Together, they share the same goal: to make high-quality veterinary treatment accessible and affordable for every dog and the people who love them.
