Dog & Cat Vets in Carmarthenshire

Bush House Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice with emergency care listed in the clinic data, and it’s also described as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Based on the latest reviews available, owners most often mention supportive handling during difficult situations (including end-of-life) and straightforward routine aftercare (for example, stitch removal). There is also a direct allegation from one reviewer of being “deliberate[ly] decept[ive] to make as much money as possible,” which conflicts with the many positive experiences reported. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - A handwritten sympathy card after a pet’s death, and another owner mentioning receiving a condolence card. - Emergency attendance for a dog having seizures/fitting, with staff attempting life-saving care (including after CPR performed by the owner’s partner). - Post-procedure follow-up care such as stitches being removed at the clinic. - A named vet (“Jo”) described as knowledgeable and professional during a health check.

Haven Vets Ltd is a small-animal veterinary practice (no corporate group is stated in the available information). Recent reviews repeatedly mention calm handling for nervous pets—one owner says their cat “purrs when she is seen by the vet”—alongside thorough appointments and staff who give practical advice. Long-term clients also describe support during end-of-life care, including being “looked after with great care” when a pet was lost.

Teilo Vets Ltd describes itself on its website as a mixed practice (companion, farm and equine), and lists a wide range of species it sees including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, ferrets, horses and other exotic/small pets. From recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and significant procedures, with owners describing major dog surgery (spay plus mammary mass removal) and an out‑of‑hours emergency where a vet “saved his life.” Reviews also highlight practical help with urgent medication supply when a visitor forgot their dog’s medication. Feedback is mixed on costs and front-desk interactions: one reviewer describes £300 for an animal health certificate as much higher than elsewhere, and another reports a rude phone call when trying to book a first vaccine. There’s also a complaint about a missed heart murmur that another vet reportedly detected a week later.

Malthouse Vets Limited describes itself as an independent, family-run veterinary clinic and a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on its published services and facilities, it’s set up for both routine care and more involved work, including in-house lab testing, X‑ray and ultrasound, and separate dog and cat wards plus a quiet room. From the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often describe supportive care during difficult situations (including end‑of‑life care), while one reviewer reports repeated problems with reception/complaint handling despite being “fairly happy with the veterinary staff.”

Bush House Veterinary Group is described in reviews as accommodating urgent, serious cases—even for owners who weren’t registered—alongside ongoing medical care. The most detailed recent account mentions an elderly dog being seen immediately, with the vet giving the family time to say goodbye during euthanasia. Other reviews reference treatment for heart and kidney problems, and owners repeatedly mention clear explanations and a feeling that costs weren’t pushed unnecessarily.

Market Hall Veterinary Group is a small‑animal practice established in the early 1980s, with RCVS Core Standards accreditation and on-site diagnostics (including an in‑house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound) plus dental facilities. The practice also states it is a veterinary nurse training facility and offers a range of routine and referral services (including soft-tissue surgery and specialist referral areas such as cardiology, dermatology, internal medicine and ophthalmology). Owner experiences in the latest reviews are mixed in a few decision-critical areas: several describe thoughtful end‑of‑life care (clear explanations and time given), while one owner reports being charged £180 for euthanasia lasting “less than 10 minutes” and says an itemised bill was not provided. Another reviewer reports delays and missed callbacks around sending referral paperwork/X‑rays for suspected cruciate ligament surgery.

Weighbridge Referral Service is a small-animal orthopaedic referral practice established in 1995 by Steve Butterworth. It’s set up for investigation and treatment of orthopaedic problems (rather than routine first-opinion care), with reviews repeatedly describing detailed discussions of surgery options and likely outcomes, plus guidance on aftercare, medication, and insurance/payment processes. Specific cases owners mention include cruciate ligament surgery (including surgery on both back knees) and operations for luxating patellas.

Carmarthen Veterinary Hospital is a purpose-built RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital with an on-site dedicated night service (MiNightVet) providing 24-hour emergency care staffed by its own vets and nurses. The website also positions the hospital for referral work in ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery and dermatology, including laparoscopic (“keyhole”) surgery and other soft-tissue/orthopaedic procedures. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe urgent and emergency cases being handled quickly (including a dog with a “massive seizure”) and praise clear discussions about risks versus costs. However, there is also a sharply conflicting account alleging inadequate treatment leading to irreversible harm and a focus on money.

Towy Vets is a veterinary practice that offers emergency veterinary services (stated as 24/7 or extended hours) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe the clinic handling both routine care and more complex cases, including multiple surgeries (two eye operations and an intestinal operation for one dog) and microchip scanning to confirm a pet’s identity. Owner experiences in the latest reviews are mixed: several long‑term clients describe consistent care over many years and name specific vets and nurses they trust, while a small number of reviewers describe serious dissatisfaction around fees during repeated visits and how an emotionally difficult situation was handled. Concrete specifics mentioned: - Eye and intestinal surgery reported with a good outcome for one dog (now “in full health”). - Microchip checking to confirm identity of a deceased cat (one reviewer reports an initial incorrect result before being told it was their cat). - Repeat same‑day/next‑day rechecks during an acute illness case (one reviewer reports being charged a recheck/consultation fee multiple times).

LLanelli PDSA Pet Clinic is part of the PDSA charity network (not an independent practice) and is set up to provide free and low-cost veterinary care for pets in need. It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. From the latest reviews available, owners describe a mix of experiences: some report same-day assessment and treatment for a dog, and hospital-style care for cats (including a feeding tube and a 3‑day stay), while others describe difficulties getting help or information (including a report of a locked door when asking for a dental price and being directed elsewhere for help with a found dog).
