Camlas Petcare Vets – Vets in Welshpool
Clinic Overview
Camlas Petcare Vets is a small-animal practice offering consultations, surgery (including keyhole/laparoscopic procedures), and on-site diagnostics (in-house lab, X‑ray and ultrasound). The practice is accredited as an RCVS General Practice, a Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold), and Dog Friendly Clinic, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.
From the latest reviews, owners commonly mention rapid access when a pet is unwell (including same‑morning appointments) and clear, option-led discussions—for example, a vet offering an ultrasound (“echo scan”) for a bladder concern and explaining the cost before proceeding. Reviews also show a strong split in experience: alongside many long-term clients describing consistently good care, one recent reviewer reports multiple pet deaths after being seen and urges others to avoid the clinic.

Had problem with small dog. Rang and was given an immediate appointment that morning. The receptionists were very caring and most helpful. Saw lovely lady vet - Caroline who was also very caring. After physical exam she offered choice of an echo scan to check for problems in bladder and told me the cost. I agreed and it was done immediately with good results back within minutes. Advice and some treatment given. I felt this practice cared for its patients. I told receptionist I had insurance and she immediately said she would complete the claims from for me with my policy details. Wish they were my regular home vets. Would recommend anyone looking for a vet within the welshpool area to use these people.

Today we had Kerry the vet and she was marvellous. She listened carefully to everything I said and we had a real discussion about my dogs eyes. She was so calm and caring with him too so he was less scared. I'll be asking for her again. Thank you so much. The lovely ladies at the desk and mopping were also lovely and so helpful.
