Jubilee Veterinary Centre – Vets in Newtownards

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

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.

Services

  • Emergency veterinary services (listed; one reviewer also describes “24/7 on-site emergency care”).
  • Routine consultations/check-ups (mentioned generally in reviews).
  • Surgery: described by a reviewer as including “complex surgeries” (no specific procedure types named).
  • Reptile care: tortoise treatment planning and recovery support; bearded dragon seen and reported as recovering.
  • Bird care: macaw appointment and beak trimming mentioned; mixed reports on respiratory-case management.
  • Snake/exotic care: injury assessment and X-ray described in a negative review; owner reports concerns about handling and follow-up advice.

People

  • Georgia (vet, per reviews)

  • Praised in some reviews for being “thorough and friendly” during a macaw visit and for helping with a tortoise’s recovery after a hibernation-related illness.

  • Criticised in another review concerning a macaw with respiratory issues, where the reviewer alleges oxygen should have been given immediately and disputes the treatment approach.

  • Michael (vet, per reviews)

  • Mentioned by long-term bird owners as the vet who “looked after” their macaw for many years, and another review describes him as dealing with birds at a zoo (as stated by the reviewer).

  • Noted in one negative review in the context of a perceived decline in bird care after he was no longer the main vet involved.

Reviews

4.7 stars from 388 reviews. The latest written reviews describe long-term client use and a clean, friendly environment, with a clear split between strong routine-dog/cat experiences and more variable exotic-pet experiences. “”

  • Dogs and cats: repeated mentions of friendly staff, gentle handling, and clear explanations of treatment plans.
  • Reptiles: multiple positive stories (tortoise and bearded dragon) describing diagnosis/treatment plans and recovery where other vets hadn’t helped.
  • Exotics concerns (birds/snakes): some owners advise against using the clinic for exotics, citing issues such as an unclear X-ray file, concerns about how an injured snake was handled, and disagreement with advice given (including euthanasia recommendations).
  • Cost mention: one bird owner reports paying £200 for an exotic visit and X-ray and felt the outcome didn’t justify it; another reviewer simply says prices are “competitive” (no figures given).
