Swansea PDSA Pet Hospital – Vets in Swansea

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Swansea PDSA Pet Hospital is part of the PDSA charity rather than an independent clinic, and it describes itself as providing free and low-cost veterinary care to pets in need. It’s also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

From the latest reviews, the hospital appears set up for both urgent/critical cases (including admission “first thing in the morning” and life-saving surgery, with an owner describing a call during surgery to explain what was happening and discuss options) and routine clinical appointments (for example, assessment of suspected skin allergy, diet advice, and taking an ear sample). Owners also mention euthanasia appointments being handled kindly.

A repeated decision point in reviews is access: multiple owners say the hospital won’t see pets that aren’t registered and that eligibility criteria apply; some reviewers describe being turned away or told a problem “wasn’t an emergency,” while others describe being seen the same day as an emergency.

Services

  • Free and low-cost veterinary care (as stated on the clinic’s website summary).
  • Emergency/urgent care as described in reviews, including
  • Admission for an emergency case and life-saving surgery.
  • Communication during a procedure (owner reports being phoned during surgery to explain options).
  • Euthanasia (put to sleep) appointments (multiple reviews).
  • Consultations and diagnostics mentioned in reviews, including
  • Assessment for suspected skin allergy and advice on diet changes.
  • Ear sampling for ongoing ear problems.
  • Care for small pets is referenced (a Syrian hamster was seen).
  • Remote consults are referenced (reviews mention video calls and being offered a telephone call).

Pricing

Only prices explicitly mentioned in reviews

  • £24 for a telephone call appointment (as described by one reviewer).
  • £280 quoted to see a vet in a situation where a reviewer says their registration had been cancelled (as described by one reviewer).

People

  • Jess (veterinarian) is named in one review: an owner says she listened to concerns, carried out a thorough examination, explained things clearly, suggested multiple options (including diet changes for likely allergy), and took an ear sample.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.4 stars from 924 reviews. “”

  • High-stakes care praised: owners describe pets being admitted quickly and receiving life-saving surgery, with unusually detailed updates (including a call during surgery to explain options).
  • Kindness around end-of-life: several reviews specifically mention thoughtful, kind handling during euthanasia or when a pet couldn’t be saved.
  • Registration/eligibility affects access: reviewers stress that pets must be registered and meet eligibility criteria; more than one reviewer describes being turned away due to registration status.
  • Disagreement about what counts as an emergency: some owners say they were seen as an emergency and reassured about what to watch for; others report being told “it’s not an emergency” and later learning the condition was serious.
  • Process frustrations in some cases: reviews include reports of long waits, missed-call policies (“only phone twice”), and feeling unsupported when worried about urgent symptoms.
