Best Vets in Newtownards – Complete Local Guide

Newtownards Vets4Pets Ltd is part of the Vets4Pets group and is set up as a general small-animal practice for dogs, cats and rabbits, with on-site diagnostics and surgical facilities (including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, an in‑house lab, and an operating theatre). The clinic is ISFM-accredited as a cat-friendly clinic, with separate cat and dog waiting areas and separated wards/isolation units. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention easy access to appointments (including urgent visits), staff taking time with nervous pets, and quick, efficient nurse-led help such as rabbit nail trims.

Ace Vets Newtownards is part of the independent Ace Vets group (not a corporate chain). The practice advertises core small-animal services like surgery, dental care, vaccinations and microchipping, and says its team includes certificate holders with interests in dermatology, imaging and ophthalmology. In the latest reviews available, owners most often describe clear explanations during appointments, thorough examinations, and being seen at short notice for a sick cat on a Saturday lunchtime; one owner also highlights coming for a second opinion on a tumour after being told elsewhere it couldn’t be operated on.

Balloo Vets Ltd (established in 2004) provides both small-animal and equine care, with on-site surgical facilities, in-house lab testing (haematology and biochemistry analysers), and hospitalisation. For horse owners, the clinic also lists a CCTV-monitored foaling unit. Reviewers most often describe long-term use for dogs and highlight practical support—such as help getting a puppy “through all her jabs” and staff being “kind & supportive” with a pug.

Comber Vet Clinic is part of Ace Vets, an independent veterinary group established in 2006. Based on its website, the clinic is set up to handle routine care and surgery, and it also highlights in-house interest/experience in dermatology, imaging, and ophthalmology. In recent reviews, owners mention being seen quickly, getting clear explanations, and thoughtful touches such as a sympathy card after euthanasia. One recent review reports a negative experience around being advised monthly flea/worm treatment for an indoor cat, with the owner describing a change in attitude when they questioned it.

Jubilee Veterinary Centre is a veterinary practice with 24/7 emergency care listed in its services, and it’s also described as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often talk about dogs and cats, but there are also multiple recent accounts involving reptiles and birds (tortoises, bearded dragon, macaw, snake). Experiences appear mixed for exotic pets: some owners credit the practice with solving long-running reptile issues and supporting recovery after illness, while others report serious concerns about decision-making and handling in exotic cases (including complaints about imaging quality, antibiotics/oxygen decisions, and euthanasia advice). Concrete details mentioned by owners include: a treatment plan created for a tortoise after a year of unresolved issues elsewhere, a report of appointments obtained for a bearded dragon, and emergency/urgent capability referenced as “24/7 on-site emergency care” by a reviewer. One negative bird review specifically describes an unclear X-ray and a perceived delay in providing oxygen for respiratory symptoms.
