PowisVets

PowisVets is described on its website as an independent, single-site, purpose-built practice established over 50 years ago, with facilities designed to reduce stress (including separate dog and cat waiting areas and a separate cat ward). Recent reviews reinforce the “independent/not corporate-owned” point and repeatedly mention clear explanations, being seen quickly, and upfront costs. Specific examples in the latest reviews include a cat spay with good recovery reported, a nail cut for a very nervous dog, and named vets (including Pippa, David, and Saul) being called out positively.
