Best Vets in Llanelli – Complete Local Guide

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).

Gibson & Jones Vets is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as providing emergency veterinary services (noted as 24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews describe the practice handling dental procedures and end-of-life care, with examples of practical support for anxious owners and pets. Specifics mentioned include a planned approach to minimise stress for a “fear aggressive” dog during a dental operation, staff making time beyond scheduled closing so an owner could say goodbye before euthanasia, and follow-up remembrance gestures such as a condolence card and memorial seeds.

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.

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.

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).
