Best Vets in Powys – Complete Local Guide

Four Crosses Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent mixed animal practice that has been caring for animals for over 50 years. The website states it runs its own out-of-hours service from the Four Crosses branch, with two vets on call for emergencies—something multiple reviewers say they specifically wanted (and one review describes receiving helpful phone advice late at night for a suspected caterpillar-related irritation). Reviews also point to quick appointment availability and generally positive experiences, but there are also accounts of poor front-desk interactions out of hours and a problem during a nail clip that left a dog with a bleeding paw, plus a complaint about missing transferred history notes.

Aran Vet Centre Ltd appears to be a general small‑animal practice that handles urgent problems quickly when needed (including late-day emergencies and bank holidays, as described by reviewers). Corporate/independent ownership isn’t stated in the information provided. Owners repeatedly mention fast turnaround for emergencies (e.g., an abscess treated within minutes of calling), practical hands-on treatment (like removing a piece of bark stuck in a dog’s nose), and follow-up support such as check-in calls and help with insurance paperwork.

Pen Y Graig is presented in the available data as a campground/glamping stay (not a veterinary clinic). Reviews repeatedly describe self-contained accommodation (including shepherd’s huts and a barn conversion) with a strong focus on privacy and dog-friendliness—for example, multiple guests mention individual fields/space for dogs to run, and one review highlights a stable split-door setup that helps keep dogs safely inside while letting fresh air in. Hosts are named in reviews (Guy and Julia), with specific examples like pre-heating the hut before arrival and going out of their way to help during a guest’s stay.

Cain Veterinary Centre is an independently owned practice (owned by Rob Edwards and Simon Wilson) and a member of XLVets. The website describes it as a farm-only veterinary practice (since September 2017) with 24/7, 365-day out-of-hours support, and a team that includes five vets and two approved TB testers. Reviews largely reinforce responsiveness and support, including a report of a fast call-out on a Bank Holiday for a pet sheep and clients describing vets as “professional and attentive.” There’s a clear mismatch between the “farm-only” description and multiple reviews mentioning care for a greyhound, a duck, and puppies, so prospective clients may want to clarify what species they currently take on. Concrete specifics mentioned: - 24/7/365 out-of-hours support is stated on the website. - Approved TB testing capability is stated on the website. - A same-day/holiday call-out is described in a review (Bank Holiday attendance for a sheep). - Breeding support is described in a review (helping a client through their first litter of pups with questions and queries).
