Afon Veterinary Centre

- Recent feedback is mostly very positive, with owners describing the team as caring, polite, helpful and welcoming across reception, nursing and vet roles. - Clear explanations around treatment are a recurring strength, especially in surgical cases such as a pygmy goat having several procedures and a dog having a cyst removed and being spayed. - Reviews also mention the practice seeing a broad mix of animals, from puppies coming in for first vaccinations to geese, ferrets and farm animals.

Services

•Urgent and emergency care: Owners describe the practice fitting pets in quickly for emergencies, and earlier feedback mentions early-hours support from an on-call vet and nurse for a critically ill dog.
•Surgery and procedural care: Recent examples include a dog having a cyst removed while being spayed, a pygmy goat undergoing several surgeries, and a previously mentioned cat operation for furball removal.
•Routine veterinary care: Reviews mention first vaccinations for a puppy, general check-ups, and ongoing care for pets over many years.
•Supportive handling and end-of-life care: Feedback continues to praise the team’s calm, caring approach with nervous, special-needs, or “grumpy” dogs, as well as their empathy in difficult cases where pets were very unwell.
•Broader animal care and practical help: Reviews suggest experience with a wider mix of animals, including geese, ferrets, farm animals and a pygmy goat. One review also praises staff for helping reunite a found dog with its owner, including dealing with the microchip company.

Pricing

Available published prices indicate the clinic sits above average relative to similar practices. Most recent feedback focuses on care rather than cost, though one cat owner described a surgical estimate of £1,000–£1,300 rising to over £1,900 and was unhappy with the communication around those changes.

People

•Alice: Named in earlier feedback as the on-call vet, praised for compassionate care during an early-hours emergency.
•Wider team: Vets, nurses and reception staff are repeatedly described as caring, friendly, knowledgeable, informative and accommodating.

Please don't take any Hedgehogs to Afon vets. I took one in last night as the hedgehog i found in my garden had a bit of breathing problems, thinking he would be in the best place. I phoned this morning to be told by the reception that the Vet needed to look at the Hedgehog but it looks like they will have to put it to sleep. I just phoned now and was told that they put him to sleep last night cause the hedgehog had no eyes! This is just blatant lies, i looked at the hedgehog, my friend and whoever looked at him last night saw that the hedgehog very much had eyes. I am beyond disgusted and upset at this absolute failure. Is this a weekend failure for Wildlife. Unfortunately i found him at 5 pm outside the time for Hedgehog rescues to step in. If you can just take to Gower Bird Hospital who go above and beyond to save our very precious and dwindling Hedgehogs. An incoming Nurse last night said to my friend "only a Hedgehog" this statement should tell you all you need to know. Disgusting.

Absolutely amazing team at afon vets. We have a pygmy goat who has undergone several surgeries this past month and the team there have been so understanding and explained everything thoroughly to us before hand and after the surgery's. Nothing is to much for them. We have dealt with numerous vets there and all of them have been so friendly. Thank you all so much for helping tinkerbelle 😊

Excellent veterinary centre. All of the staff are polite, friendly and informative. The vets are amazing and very caring. My little Welshie had the best care when she had to have a cyst removed and was spayed at the same time. Thank you so much to all of the staff, you do an amazing job. I would certainly recommend this veterinary Centre to anyone.
