Tern Vets in short
Tern Vets is a Newport small-animal practice on Audley Avenue, and our verdict is that its surgical kit sets it apart. The site lists keyhole neutering, endoscopy and ultrasound with separate dog, cat and isolation wards. For owners who want serious facilities behind routine care, Tern Vets makes a strong case.
Google carries the customer reviews we hold for the practice, with a headline rating near four point seven across several hundred ratings. The RCVS register lists Small Animal General Practice status with graduate development and nurse training approval, and the company record goes back to the early twenty-tens. That mix put Tern Vets fourth of the ten Telford vets in our September round.
What counts against it is price clarity: itemised fees read clearest on a third-party listing drawn from the practice list rather than on the practice pages. The site publishes no insurance detail either. In our judgement the practice is stronger than its paperwork.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Tern Vets suits you if surgical facilities and published fees decide it, with RCVS accreditation, training status and a company active since 2011 behind it [1] [2] [3]. Its Google rating stands at 4.7 from 299 reviews [4]. Insurance detail is the gap, with consultation fees clearest on the third-party price listing.

Questions about Tern Vets
Is Tern Vets any good?
On the evidence, yes for surgical cover: it sits fourth of the ten Telford vets in our September round, holds a headline Google rating near four point seven, and runs keyhole surgery with separate wards. The RCVS register confirms Small Animal General Practice status with training approvals. The thinner pricing detail is the one caveat.
Is Tern Vets RCVS registered?
The RCVS Find a Vet register lists the Newport practice with Small Animal General Practice status, plus approved graduate development and nurse training standing. All three entries were live when checked for the September round. That register standing is the scheme detail that matters here.
What does Tern Vets charge?
The site carries a services and prices page, and the mirrored listing gives a standard consultation near fifty pounds with booster and neutering fees beside it. Treat the mirrored figures as a guide and take the practice paperwork as final. The prices page sits on the practice website.
