Hafren Veterinary Group

Hafren Veterinary Group says it is an independent, privately owned, RCVS-accredited practice that has served both large and small animals for more than 100 years. Recent feedback on the Knighton branch focuses mainly on the small-animal side of the practice, with praise for friendly care, cat dental treatment with aftercare advice, weekend urgent help through an out-of-hours arrangement, and sensitive end-of-life support at home. Reviews also suggest a practical, helpful team, alongside some mixed views on costs and payment expectations.
