Vetcare Carlow is part of the Vet Care group (described on its website as four Vet Care practices) and offers consultations as part of a Pet Health Club® Plus plan. Reviews repeatedly describe the team taking on urgent problems that other clinics turned away, including an “emergency matter” for an injured dog where owners say it was “no hassle” to be seen. Owners also mention dental care (with pets coming home “in great form” with “lovely clean teeth”) and practical handling for difficult appointments—such as vaccinating a reactive dog outside to keep them more comfortable. One review also notes the clinic is spacious and “well-supplied with pet products.”

Susan Roulston Vet Clinic appears to be a small, vet-led practice where clients specifically mention Susan by name and describe her handling as gentle and low-stress for animals. Reviews repeatedly highlight calm, patient treatment during visits (including for puppies) and note that charges are not “extreme” compared with other vets. One review reports a negative front-desk experience (rude/condescending receptionist), which conflicts with other comments describing staff as “lovely.” A review from a year ago also claims the clinic wasn’t taking on new clients at that time.

Animal Welfare Veterinary Clinic is a companion-animal practice that says it has been operating since 1983. The website states that out-of-hours emergencies are handled by Village Vets (as named on their site), rather than in-house. From owner reports, the clinic is regularly used for routine care (cat vaccinations are mentioned repeatedly) as well as procedures under anaesthetic (a review describes a dental clean and nail trim done under anaesthetic). Several reviewers also describe the team working deliberately to keep anxious cats calm and to get vaccinations done quickly to reduce stress. Feedback isn’t fully consistent: alongside long-term clients describing good diagnosis and support for ongoing or serious issues, one recent reviewer describes a long wait, feeling their dog wasn’t properly examined, pain relief not offered until pushed for, and an incorrect follow-up call about their pet having died.

Arra Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice where recent reviews most often describe hands-on medical care (including imaging, surgery and end-of-life support), plus an on-site grooming service. Multiple owners mention being kept informed during higher-stakes cases: one describes emergency surgery with the team explaining risks beforehand and providing updates during the procedure and overnight while the pet recovered, including check-ins out of hours. The clinic also appears comfortable seeing a range of pets beyond cats and dogs, with one review mentioning care for a hedgehog. One written review strongly disputes the clinic’s decision-making and billing practices around a kitten’s case (including an upfront payment request, surgery that allegedly found no foreign body, and a dispute about releasing the pet before payment). This sits in clear contrast to many other reviews describing good outcomes after complicated surgery and clear communication.

Kinnegad Veterinary is a general veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated) that reviewers describe using for both routine care and urgent same-day issues. Recent reviews repeatedly mention the clinic “making space” for dogs with sudden problems like bee stings and allergic reactions, and being accommodating with appointment scheduling. Several owners also highlight problem-solving for ongoing conditions—one review describes a cat with severe allergies being diagnosed in a single visit after 18 months of trying other vets, with the cat doing well months later. One low-rated review raises a cleanliness concern (“blood, fur, and dirt”), which conflicts with the largely positive feedback.

Gortlandroe Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice where the most detailed recent feedback centres on compassionate end-of-life care (owners describe euthanasia for both a dog and a cat handled with empathy and professionalism). Reviews also repeatedly mention being seen quickly when needed, and a “not pushing unnecessary extras” approach—one owner specifically says they “won’t sell you expensive things that you don’t need.” Practical support is also noted, such as arranging to send medications by post when an owner couldn’t get in.

Part of the Riverview Veterinary Group (the website says the practice has been operating for 80 years), this clinic covers small animals and also provides mobile support for dairy cows. Reviews point to a setup that handles both routine and urgent problems: owners mention being seen at short notice, using an on-call/out-of-hours service with prompt call-backs, and pets staying in for monitoring after procedures (e.g., a senior dog kept for a few days following extensive dental work). Feedback is mostly very positive, but there is also a directly negative account describing the visit as “unprofessional” and overly focused on billing.

Killenaule Vets appears to be a general veterinary practice (pets and other animals are mentioned) where owners most often comment on the day-to-day experience: being seen promptly, staff being welcoming, and the team stepping in when an animal needs help at short notice. Recent reviewers specifically mention staff being “quick and efficient,” being “accommodating and welcoming,” and “going over and above” to help with a dog in a difficult situation. One owner also notes an upbeat atmosphere in the clinic (“you can hear them laughing behind doors”), alongside feeling “well looked after” and describing the team as “very knowledgeable.”

Castle Vets is described in reviews as a mixed practice (treating a range of animals). Whether it’s independent or part of a corporate group isn’t stated in the available information. Based on what owners mention, the clinic seems set up for both routine care and higher-pressure cases, including emergency surgery. Concrete specifics owners describe include: - Emergency caesarean section for a French Bulldog, with the team supporting the owner through a stressful situation. - Out-of-hours surgery on a Sunday evening that an owner says saved their dog’s life. - Ongoing management for a dog with diabetes, including guidance for an anxious, temperamental patient. - A focus on practical, cost-aware advice: one owner says the team recommended cheaper pharmacy products rather than pushing in-clinic sales.

Acorn House Veterinary Clinic is an independent, family-owned companion-animal practice with online booking. The clinic’s website highlights in-house equipment including digital radiography, ultrasonography, multimodal anaesthesia monitoring, and infusion pumps. Reviews repeatedly point to hands-on, reassurance-focused handling (for example, a vet sitting on the floor to help a nervous dog settle) and follow-through such as next-day check-in calls after procedures. The clinic is also repeatedly chosen for non-traditional pets: owners describe treatment for rabbits (including dental work), rescue birds, and a leopard gecko.
