Best Rated Veterinary Clinics in Port Talbot, West Glamorgan
Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Forest Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice that also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe smooth, supportive day-to-day care (including pets staying relaxed during appointments) alongside examples of urgent treatment being arranged quickly—one cat with a “massive infection” had an operation organised at short notice and was home the same afternoon. Practical admin support is also mentioned, such as helping an owner with an insurance claim. A recurring downside is waiting times: one reviewer reported their visit ran “way over” the appointment time.

Afon Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice (group ownership isn’t stated in the available information). Reviews describe both routine care and minor procedures, with examples including nail trims for an older cat, booster vaccinations (with weighing and a treat), and an upcoming operation for a dog. Owners also mention practical support outside normal appointments, such as getting reassurance over the phone and being booked in for the next available slot. One reviewer praised the clinical care but reported organisational issues, including a long wait past the appointment time.

Shepherds 'The Vets' Ltd describes itself as an independent practice with over 50 years’ experience, and notes Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) accreditation. The website highlights routine care plus add-on services like a Premier Pet Care Plan, nurse clinics, and K‑Laser therapy, and states there is a 24/7 emergency service for registered clients (delivered via their hospital branch). From the latest reviews available, owners frequently mention quick appointment availability and vets offering treatment options. A repeated negative theme is front-desk/reception interactions (e.g., being spoken to abruptly, issues around collecting supplies like syringes/needles, and being left waiting at the door in heavy rain). One detailed review also alleges prolonged diagnostics and treatment before euthanasia, which the reviewer felt was not in the pet’s best interests—this sharply conflicts with other reviews describing helpful, thorough care.
