Haven Vets Ltd is a veterinary practice that states it offers emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews include accounts of emergency surgery (a perineal hernia removal) where appointments were reportedly rearranged to fit the case in, and routine consults described as efficient with a clear treatment plan. Feedback is mixed: several owners describe staff taking time to explain and advise, while a smaller number of reviews report problems around fees, continuity (not seeing the same vet), and dissatisfaction with outcomes (including “no proper diagnosis” after repeat visits). Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - Emergency surgery for a dog’s perineal hernia, with rescheduling to accommodate it. - Rabbit dental/tooth work discussed, including disagreement over whether anaesthesia was necessary. - A spay where one reviewer noted toenails weren’t cut while under anaesthetic. - Specific fee complaints including a £56 health check and £230 over 7 days (2 visits) without a diagnosis (as reported by one owner).

Seren Vets Carmarthen Ltd describes itself on its website as a new, independent small-animal practice working from brand-new, purpose-built premises designed with environmental sustainability in mind. Recent reviews repeatedly point to a modern, clean clinic with short waits, and several owners mention separate waiting areas for dogs, cats and exotic animals, which can matter for nervous pets. Based on the latest written reviews available, the practice appears particularly set up for exotics (rabbits, guinea pigs and a parrot are specifically mentioned), with detailed owner education (for example, hay-intake strategies for a rabbit and diet/vitamin guidance for a parrot). Owners also describe injections for skin/allergy and respiratory issues, cat neutering, and compassionate support during euthanasia, including staff staying after closing time in one case.

Arberth Veterinary Centre is described by one reviewer as an independent practice. Based on the latest reviews available to us, the clinic appears set up for both routine appointments and urgent situations: owners mention being seen quickly in emergencies, same-day surgery when needed, and clear explanations from vets so they understand options and next steps. Reception is repeatedly mentioned as efficient and helpful (including specific praise for “Natalie at the desk”), and one reviewer highlights an “amazing” dog physiotherapy service.

Castle House Vet Practice Ltd is a mixed animal practice (treating both small pets and larger animals) with MRCVS veterinary surgeons, small-animal expertise and livestock specialisation stated on its website. It also lists a modern operating theatre and an isolation ward. Reviews highlight practical, appointment-level experiences such as vaccination boosters where the vet “asked the right questions” and took time to settle an excitable dog, as well as care for emergencies and longer-term (chronic) conditions. Several reviewers describe the practice as focused on pet care rather than “how much profit they can make out of you,” and mention strong communication/education about an animal’s needs.

All Pets Vet Care is a small-animal veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (stated as 24/7 or extended hours). Reviews most often describe routine preventive care and dental work, alongside some more sensitive support such as end-of-life care. Concrete examples owners mention include dental surgery with teeth removed plus additional X‑rays done during the procedure and updates provided through the day, puppy microchipping and first booster with nail clipping in the same visit, and nutrition/food guidance from a staff member named Carol. One recent review reports a negative experience around parasite treatment (Simparica Trio) followed by a dispute about fees and debt-collector threats, which conflicts with other reviews describing helpful service and good support.

Llanelli Vets4Pets Ltd is a Vets for Pets practice described on its website as locally owned, with a modern, well‑equipped setup (in‑house lab, digital X‑ray, ultrasound, operating theatre, hospital ward and isolation). It appears geared for routine care plus in‑house diagnostics and surgery, with owners frequently mentioning good support around stressful visits and end‑of‑life decisions. Concrete examples from reviews include: a second-opinion appointment followed by sympathy card and paw/nose prints sent afterwards; WhatsApp last‑minute booking; and a case where a nervous dog was consistently supported by allocating female vets/nurses and arranging lower‑stress appointment handling, with a post‑op call immediately after surgery. Pricing is a repeated concern in some recent reviews, alongside positive comments about the care.
