I have just registered with this veterinary practice. I am presently without a car so I have to have all out to see to my very elderly greyhound Laura. Emma came out to examine Laura. She's very kind caring and passionate about the welfare of her 4 legged patients. Thank you Emma and all the surgery staff . You have put my mind at rest after the blood test. I will recommend you .

We recently had to have our little friend Bud our cavvie put to sleep because of his long term medical condition. John was absolutely brilliant treating Bud with such compassion and treating me with kindness. The vets arranged for Buds cremation and his ashes were returned to us in a beautiful little casket. We also received a condolence card from the practice with some wonderful sentiments. I can recommend Williams vets to anyone in Barmouth. Absolutely the best vet practice I’ve ever used.

Really nice staff and Ed & Hugh, our vets, were great, they are so knowledgeable and kind towards our loved ones. We took our cat back after an initial visit for an operation to remove a tooth that broke off and rather than putting him under - which can be risky in older cats - and removing the little piece of root that was left. They said he didn’t need the operation as it was healing nicely, saving both any risk and money too for that matter. They could have easily done the operation anyway and we’d have been none the wiser. So great to feel you can trust your pets with people and we’ll definitely be using these guys again, so happy we found them.
