Newtown Vet Clinic

Newtown Vet Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-run companion animal practice owned by Jonathan and Saski Steele. The website points to a clinic set up for in-patient care and procedures (separate dog/cat wards, an isolation ward, operating theatre, in-house lab, digital x‑ray, ultrasound, ECG and blood pressure monitoring), and it also offers home visits.

In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being seen quickly for urgent problems (including being seen “within an hour” and “within a couple of hours,” and a return visit when a pet deteriorated). Several reviews also describe support during end-of-life care and euthanasia, with owners saying the team looked after both the pet and family.
