Shepherds the Vets - Port Talbot

Awful reception staff. They totally let down brackla branch . Already destitute so having to pick up syringe every other day bad enough but....to give no needle and expect me to trolley back again. Luckily I had tip that worked here this time. But on both visits i've found receptionist is brash .thankfully I use brackla for the vets as have exotics. And that branch is far far above port talbot so go there if want better experience

Great vet, quickly appointments and lovely staff members.

We have had all our pets treated with this veterinary practice Fantastic service Always so helpful and gives you options on treatment Although I don't think my cats enjoy the visit to the clinic

My cat had a suspected rta, rushed him to the vets who said there's nothing wrong and sent him home with metacam, we went back a number of times over a two week period during which time they convinced us to have x-rays, abdominal ultrasounds, blood tests and 2 occasions of overnight stays & more emergency appointments along with 3 lots of medication. Two thousand pounds spent on his 'care' only to sadly have him put to sleep, in hindsight our poor baby suffered for 3 weeks he must have been in so much pain, it breaks my heart to think about how shepherds just couldn't care less. Shepherds the vet do not care about your pets, the junior vets are always up selling. Even at the very end when my cat couldn't lift his head the junior vet tried to convince us to send him to a specialist. This has taught me a valid life lesson to always listen to my gut instincts, even if the 'experts' who we trusted without a shadow of a doubt are convincing us to keep a very sick animal alive & in pain because any glimmer of hope we will cling to because we don't want to lose them, when in reality it's just an up sell. If you think of it as a business; why offer euthenisation for £80 when they could get £2k first, it makes sense as a business that they do this. My cat suffered because of them and their lack of moral values. It's just a profitable business out to make money. I've had pets my whole life and lived in England, Scotland and now Wales and I have never experienced a vets practice like Shepherds the vet. You live & learn, I'm just devastated that he suffered for so long & that we trusted that they were doing everything in his best interest sadly they weren't. (Edited to remove offensive language)

Took our parson Russell here yesterday for first time as we have just moved here. The receptionist and vet (Daisy) were welcoming and thorough in her examination. Had boosters and repeat medication. Glad to have found this vets as it seems a lot of vets in the area are not taking on new clients and have waiting lists.

My first time ever at a vets! And more importantly the first time my 3 year old jackawau visited! I've only had him 3 weeks and he was so scared but the staff were amazing! Even though my little dog barked and growled they were all so patient with the both of us! We were both treated so wonderfully! The vet was so sweet to my dog she finally won him round so she was able to do the vaccines with absolutely no problem! They answered all my daft questions about looking after dogs because he is my first dog! They were just so friendly I look forward to going back for his next vaccine!
