Went to Bridgend for the first time today, it’s in the middle of nowhere and the sat nav took us all over the place. I phoned to say we were lost and was told my appointment was 3.30 and as it was now 3.45 I was too late but the other dog I had booked in was due at 3.45 so if I got there quickly they would see him. I pointed out that Shepherds had regularly kept us waiting 25 minutes when we were on time and if they didn’t see us I’d change vets. We got there at 3.50, got a very curt “take a seat” from the receptionist and that was that. Several other customers were attended to but we were left. After 30 minutes of waiting we said we were leaving and would be changing vets. They said they’d told the vet I had been waiting but I told them we were changing vets and left. As previous reviews have said there were many members of staff behind the counter all joking and laughing. It does not look professional. I believe we were made to wait because we were late through no fault of our own. I will never use them again. I usually go to Port Talbot but have changed vets completely now. Read Less

Have been a loyal client with Shepherds Vets Bridgend for many years now. I've found the last few times I've been in with my little dog they were highly rude. There was apparently money outstanding on my account and they demanded payment yet I had not received the medication. Another incident I was given one price on the phone for further medication when I went to pay for it I was told a different price difference of 15. The service is not acceptable. On taking my girls to another vets I was informed that my dog has been over prescribed medication. I hate t think what would be if i had left her under the care of Shepherds vets. We pout our trust and faith into what should be a professional organisation, but to be informed by another Vets that she was on double doze is not acceptable. I will be writing a letter of complaint to Shepherds they don't have the welfare of our animals at heart. I strongly recommend if your unsure about your beloved pets welfare get a second opinion immediately before Shepherds are responsible for killing our beloved pets.They are highly over priced and demand payment before treatment & medication is given. Will not step foot inside Shepherds Vets again. They don't have the animals welfare at heart. Read Less

We transferred to this Practice after a misdiagnosis by a previous vet. We had two dogs aged 12 and 13, both of whom we have sadly lost in the past three weeks, the latest just yesterday. From my first dealings with the practice they have shown the utmost of professionalism, empthay, knowledge and gave us much needed trust back in the profession. Their level of service was exceptional answered facebook at all times of day and night even weekends, phonecalls at night, came out of meetings when we needed to speak to the vet the most. The team at the practice is very committed and professional and every member of that team shows the same level of commitment to their work and empathy with their clients both 4 and 2 legged. I have truly never seen such a committed team at any vets I have ever visited before. A special mention to Zephanie, who has helped me through such a difficult few months, she is a credit to the profession and a truly remarkable vet an absolute credit to her profession We do not plan to replace our boys with new pets as simply they can never be replaced and the pain of their loss is too great, however I would certainly recommend this practice as they are over and above as a team a practice and a profession.

After being a loyal customer for over 20 years I am disgusted !! My cat is in need and they have refused a home visit, they take your money but when in desperate need they turn their nose up. What ethics does the company actually have!
Around 6 weeks ago I took my cat to my regular vets Shepherds, bloods were taken, I waited 48hrs + to get the results. The results came in at around midday which I found out when I phoned following up, I phoned several times after that but nobody was available to discuss. Around 6pm I finally had a call back, and I took Bambi in. They contacted me the next day to advise tumours had been found and there was nothing that could be done. They kept Bambi in for an additional night to rehydrate her then she could come home, I was reassured when the time came that I could call for her to be put to sleep. Up until today Bambi had been eating and drinking, over the last 12hrs she deteriorated rapidly.
How a vets of your size, which offers "Emergency Help" does not have a home visit vet available at all times is completely unbelievable. A 20 minute visit for the benefit of the animal yet you couldn't make arrangements for this! Is this because you make more money having vets on site?
This isn't the Shepherds it once was it is now a corporation, not a family run business that was built on putting the animals wellbeing first.
I phoned Maes Glas and they were amazing! I have never used them, not for any of my animals. The first question I asked was if they offer home visits and they said yes with no objections. They offered me a time and I accepted, my cat deteriorated even further so I called them back, they were with me within 30mins. Unbelievable how Shepherds cannot make any arrangements for a loyal customer in an emergency, yet a surgery that's never seen me before make the process as easy as it could be. I do expect a response and will be raising this complaint further in due course.
Feeling let down by a vets I once trusted! Read Less

They are the best vets in the area from the reception staff Jennifer has to have a special mention she is wonderful, so kind and thoughtful. I've been using these vets for over 20 years, they treated all my dogs and continue to do so. Thank you for their dedicated care, attention and amazing skills. Day or night they are there 24hrs a day. Read Less

Have used this vets for years! They have always been great Vets and would recommend to anyone. Only downside, like with any vets, they are a little pricey at times.

After being a loyal customer for over 20 years I am disgusted !! My cat is in need and they have refused a home visit, they take your money but when in desperate need they turn their nose up. What ethics does the company actually have!
Around 6 weeks ago I took my cat to my regular vets Shepherds, bloods were taken, I waited 48hrs + to get the results. The results came in at around midday which I found out when I phoned following up, I phoned several times after that but nobody was available to discuss. Around 6pm I finally had a call back, and I took Bambi in. They contacted me the next day to advise tumours had been found and there was nothing that could be done. They kept Bambi in for an additional night to rehydrate her then she could come home, I was reassured when the time came that I could call for her to be put to sleep. Up until today Bambi had been eating and drinking, over the last 12hrs she deteriorated rapidly.
How a vets of your size, which offers "Emergency Help" does not have a home visit vet available at all times is completely unbelievable. A 20 minute visit for the benefit of the animal yet you couldn't make arrangements for this! Is this because you make more money having vets on site?
This isn't the Shepherds it once was it is now a corporation, not a family run business that was built on putting the animals wellbeing first.
I phoned Maes Glas and they were amazing! I have never used them, not for any of my animals. The first question I asked was if they offer home visits and they said yes with no objections. They offered me a time and I accepted, my cat deteriorated even further so I called them back, they were with me within 30mins. Unbelievable how Shepherds cannot make any arrangements for a loyal customer in an emergency, yet a surgery that's never seen me before make the process as easy as it could be. I do expect a response and will be raising this complaint further in due course.
Feeling let down by a vets I once trusted! Read Less
