Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Anglesey Pet Clinic is an independent practice that says it has been caring for pets since 2007. Based on its stated equipment and advanced procedures (including endoscopy, echocardiograms and orthopaedic/BOAS surgery), it appears set up for more than routine vaccinations—owners also describe same-day treatment for urgent problems. Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: taking extra time with a nervous dog during an appointment; fitting a dog in “straight away” for bloody diarrhoea and running an in-house blood test before starting antibiotics; operating the same day on a severe thigh wound; and providing a blood transfusion at the clinic after owners asked not to be referred elsewhere. One recent 1-star review describes a serious breakdown in expectations around euthanasia (staff initially indicating it was appropriate, then a vet declining at the appointment), suggesting communication/consistency may vary by case and clinician. ## Services From the clinic’s website summary: - Routine care: vaccinations, microchipping, neutering - Dental care - Diagnostics and imaging: in-house blood tests, X-rays, pregnancy diagnosis by ultrasound - Endoscopy for non-invasive investigations - Cardiology: echocardiograms - Oncology: chemotherapy - Orthopaedics and other advanced surgery, including BOAS surgery - Hip and elbow scoring - Out-of-hours emergency contact is stated as available (details are provided by the clinic) From recent reviews: - Same-day urgent assessment for gastrointestinal illness (blood in stool), with blood testing and antibiotics - Same-day surgery for a severe wound - Blood transfusion carried out at the clinic (described by an owner as life-saving) - Worming treatment required for travel (priced in the review) Also listed in the provided clinic data: - Veterinary Nurse Training facility ## Pricing - Worming required for travel: £68 for 2 dogs (as reported in a recent review) ## Reviews 4.8 stars from 348 reviews. Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Handling urgent cases quickly: examples include a dog with blood in its stool being seen straight away for a blood test and antibiotics, and a dog with a severe thigh wound being operated on the same day. - In-clinic capability for serious treatment: one owner reports their dog received a blood transfusion at the clinic and that the team respected their wish not to be referred elsewhere. - Appointment approach for anxious pets: one owner of a nervous border collie says the team took “much more time and care” than previous vets. - Cost perceptions are mostly positive but not consistently detailed: several owners describe prices as “reasonable/cheap,” and one review gives a specific price (£68 for two dogs’ worming for travel). - A notable negative about end-of-life decision-making/communication: one recent reviewer reports being told by some staff that euthanasia would be the kindest option, then having a vet refuse to proceed at the appointment, which they found traumatic and inconsistent.

Milfeddygon Bodrwnsiwn Veterinary Group describes itself (on its website) as a long-established mixed practice handling pets, farm animals, and horses, with 24/7 emergency support stated for farm and equine cases. It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe calm, steady handling for nervous dogs (including using biscuits and time to help pets “chill” before treatment) and clear explanations (for example, explaining an injection visit step-by-step for a first-time dog owner). There is also a recent 1-star review alleging rough needle handling, rudeness during a home visit, and missed callbacks, which conflicts with many other reports of patient, considerate care.

E Barbour-Hill appears to be an independent veterinary practice (one long-term client contrasts it with “corporate” clinics and values seeing the same vet each visit). Based on both the clinic data and multiple owner accounts, it seems especially set up for dental work: several reviews describe complex tooth-saving treatment where other vets had recommended extraction. Owners also mention clear explanations before procedures and strong aftercare, including being “pleasantly surprised by the bill” (no specific prices given). The clinic also lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Concrete specifics owners mention: - Tooth-saving dental treatment (e.g., a tooth saved that another vet said would need extracting). - Repair work for broken canine teeth (one owner says three canine teeth were fixed and saved). - Surgery with careful handling of nervous/smaller dogs (one mentions their dachshund’s surgery). - “Exceptional” aftercare mentioned after dental work.

Williams Veterinary Surgeons is set up for everyday pet care as well as difficult, time-sensitive situations: owners mention home visits for elderly dogs, blood testing, anal gland treatment for a nervous dog, dental decision-making for an older cat, and multiple accounts of compassionate end-of-life care. The practice is also listed as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Decision-relevant specifics owners describe include: - A vet coming out to examine a very elderly greyhound and taking a blood test during a home visit. - End-of-life appointments where owners were allowed time and personal touches (one review mentions playing music, “kiss and cuddle”), with cremation arranged and ashes returned in a casket, plus a condolence card from the practice. - A dental case where vets advised against an operation to remove a remaining tooth root because it was healing—avoiding anaesthetic risk for an older cat and avoiding unnecessary cost. - Gentle handling of a very nervous dog during anal gland treatment “without any upset.”

Wern Veterinary Surgeons is a multi-species practice, treating small animals as well as farm animals, birds/poultry and equines, with an in-house lab and a stated 24‑hour emergency service for registered animals (with an additional out‑of‑hours call‑out charge). Recent reviewers repeatedly describe being seen quickly for urgent problems—examples include a same‑day appointment and another case seen within half an hour of calling. Written reviews also mention treatment for a suspected urinary/water infection (medication supplied) and a hen with an impacted crop whose life was saved. One older review raises a communication gap around puppy vaccination side effects (they wanted clearer written guidance), though that reviewer also noted the on‑call vet phoned back and checked in again later that evening.

Milfeddygon Dolgellau CYF
Dolgellau
Milfeddygon Dolgellau CYF is an independent veterinary practice (established over 100 years ago) that treats both companion animals and farm animals, and states it provides a 24-hour emergency service staffed by its own team. The clinic appears set up for a mix of routine care and more involved diagnostics and procedures: the website lists digital X‑rays, ultrasound, and in‑house lab testing, alongside surgery such as neutering and lump removals. Recent reviews include detailed emergency care examples (bloat/“GDV”-type presentation treated with X‑rays, stomach tubing attempts, and then surgery). Reviews also flag a sharp contrast between compassionate clinical care in end‑of‑life situations and a negative experience around payment-plan refusal after an out‑of‑hours euthanasia; one review also mentions the practice having “no emergency facilities at the moment due to refurbishment.”
