There are 5 veterinary clinics in Newtownards, with an average Google rating of 4.8★. All five clinics cater to dogs and cats, offering a comprehensive range of services. None provide farm or large-animal services. Among these, two clinics offer emergency or out-of-hours care, though 24-hour veterinary cover is not available locally.
Local services include routine care, surgery, diagnostics, dental treatment, and emergency services, reflecting the clinics' robust capabilities. Newtownards benefits from a high level of veterinary nurse training availability in 3 out of 5 clinics. Additionally, each clinic has an active website, aiding pet owners in easily accessing information and making informed decisions. With a total of 1019 reviews, pet owners have substantial feedback from which to assess each clinic's performance.
Although all clinics address routine care, the availability of emergency services is restricted to two clinics, which makes these critical for urgent and immediate care needs. This distinction ensures that those requiring prompt attention have dedicated resources, whereas routine-only clinics provide excellent support for regular check-ups and ongoing care.
The presence of mid-ranked or routine-focused clinics, like Comber Vet Clinic and Jubilee Veterinary Centre, enriches the local veterinary landscape by maintaining a steady focus on everyday care needs such as vaccinations and non-urgent treatments. This diversity allows pet owners to select a clinic that matches their specific requirements, whether they prioritize emergency preparedness or routine animal health maintenance.
Overall, Newtownards boasts strong veterinary clinic depth, emphasizing companion-animal care with exclusive attention to dogs, cats, and other small animals.

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.
