Ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. Based on recent reviews, this practice seems set up for routine consultations and diagnostics, with some flexibility for dogs that struggle around other pets (one owner was met outside and brought through only when the waiting room was clear). Reviews also describe end-of-life support and longer-term management for serious illness, including homeopathy used alongside conventional care in at least one case. Experiences are mixed: several long-term clients describe consistently good vet and nurse care, while a small number report problems around access and communication (including one case where an injured elderly dog reportedly wasn’t seen after an attack, and another describing patronising or condescending interactions).

Our Score (44/100)

Hafren Veterinary Group describes itself as an independent, privately owned practice and says it has been established for over 100 years. The website also states it is RCVS accredited. Based on owner feedback, the clinic is set up to handle urgent presentations (including weekend emergencies) as well as routine consults and end-of-life care: one reviewer reports being seen within 15 minutes on a Sunday for suspected chocolate/medication ingestion, while another mentions a humane euthanasia experience. Reviews also describe clear explanations during consultations and experiences of seeking a second opinion after a “bleak prognosis” elsewhere.

Afon Veterinary Centre appears to be a general veterinary practice that also sees small pets (one owner specifically mentions a vet who was knowledgeable with guinea pigs). Reviews describe being fitted in quickly for an appointment and having procedures/issues explained clearly (a vet named Richard is singled out for taking time to explain). There’s also a clear policy signal around its “pet plan”: one reviewer says treatment was refused until overdue plan payments were cleared, while other recent reviews emphasise empathy and “always good service.”
