Carmarthen Veterinary Hospital / MiNightVet Carmarthen

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.
