Glenina Veterinary Clinic is described by reviewers as offering a more “personal service” compared with “corporate vets” (as one client puts it). Based on recent reviews, the clinic appears geared for both routine care and sick/urgent visits, with multiple owners mentioning quick appointment availability and ongoing updates during treatment. Concrete details owners mention include: - Fast appointment access for a cat with recurring cystitis. - Routine care such as scheduled vaccinations (“shots”) and neutering. - Phone updates throughout a pet’s illness treatment, with clear explanations of next steps. - Admin support for pet insurance, including completing claim forms. There is also a serious negative account describing a dog with open pyometra where the owner felt pressured, blamed, and not offered immediate surgery; this conflicts with other reviews describing professional, supportive care.

Thomas A Glynn Veterinary Practice is described in reviews as offering “personal service,” with one owner explicitly contrasting it with “corporate vets.” Based on recent feedback, the practice appears set up for both routine preventive care and sick/urgent cases, with multiple mentions of quick appointment availability and phone updates during treatment. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Routine care such as scheduled vaccinations (“shots”) and neutering. - Management of ongoing issues (one cat with recurring cystitis, with appointments arranged quickly). - Phone communication during treatment (one owner says they were kept informed “on all steps” and things were explained clearly). - Administrative support for pet insurance claim forms being completed promptly. Reviews also include a serious negative account involving a dog with open pyometra, where the owner reports being advised to delay surgery and describes the interaction as blunt and distressing—this conflicts with other reviews describing compassion and reassurance.

Longford Animal Health Centre & Veterinary Hospital is part of XL Vets Ireland and provides care for both small and large animals. The website states it runs a 24-hour emergency service, 365 days a year. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention helpful, professional staff, including being given time to say goodbye during an end-of-life visit, and a case where the team scanned a cat for a microchip during a vaccination visit and reunited it with its owner. One review describes a very different experience when seeking help for an injured wild crow, reporting they were told the only option was euthanasia at the finder’s expense and to “use Google” for wildlife rescues.

Briarhill Veterinary Clinic is a purpose-built, 100% small-animal practice that has been providing care since 2009 and holds Hospital status with the Veterinary Council of Ireland. The clinic is equipped for diagnostics and in-clinic treatment (including digital X‑rays, ultrasound, ECG, and on-site blood and urine analysis) alongside surgery and dentistry facilities. Recent reviews include detailed accounts of compassionate end-of-life care (including a vet guiding owners through a terminal diagnosis and performing euthanasia “with tenderness and respect”), as well as criticism from others who felt euthanasia decisions were rushed or that payment was demanded before discussing an animal’s condition.

Athlone Veterinary Hospital is described in recent reviews as a practice that can hospitalise pets overnight for serious illness and provide ongoing aftercare. Multiple owners mention rapid access in urgent situations (including being seen within about 40 minutes after a call, and a late-night emergency where a staff member arrived “within minutes”), with pets staying in-hospital for 2–3 nights. Communication during hospital stays is a recurring detail in positive reviews (phone updates, photos, and allowing visits). There is also a clear conflict in the feedback: two reviewers allege serious clinical failings in seizure-related cases, including being sent home with what they describe as an incorrect/very low medication dose for a large dog, and missing basic diagnostic checks that another vet later performed.

Allpaws Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-run practice for family pets. Based on its own service list and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care (like vaccinations and neutering) and more complex surgery/orthopaedics (including “fixing broken bones,” “complicated joint surgeries,” and a BOAS surgery mentioned by an owner). Recent reviewers repeatedly describe specific staff members (Tim, Liz, Dr. Danniell) handling nervous animals calmly, answering questions in detail, and providing support in end‑of‑life situations (including a memorial card).

Crowes Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice (dogs and cats are repeatedly mentioned) where owners describe routine care for senior pets, second-opinion assessments, and surgical procedures such as spaying. Reviews give concrete examples of the team providing detailed explanations during appointments, supplying repeat medication after receiving a script from another vet, and giving aftercare advice following surgery (including guidance for post-op recovery and “day visit or a stay over” mentions). Feedback is mixed on surgical outcomes and bedside manner: some owners report very clean spay healing with minimal visible incision, while others describe poor post-op wound/stitch outcomes and rough handling during a follow-up check.

Village Vets Rathgar is part of the wider Village Vets group (multiple reviewers describe it as a “branch” and long-term “Village Vets” customers mention moving between clinics). Based on the latest reviews, it’s set up primarily for routine care and ongoing support for dogs and cats—things like annual vaccines and full check-ups—while also being a place people turn to during difficult end-of-life moments. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Vets taking time during appointments to reassure owners and answer questions (e.g., during a visit for a golden retriever). - Handling anxious dogs gently enough that owners noticed their pets were more relaxed than usual. - Routine visit add-ons being done in one appointment (vaccines, nail clipping, “glands,” and a full-body check). - Membership “plan” mentioned by multiple owners as covering vaccinations/visits and giving discounts on food bought at the clinic.

Dental care is also specifically mentioned in reviews (dogs booked in for dental cleaning with after-care explained).

Founded in 2009 by veterinarians Justin Browne and Simon Fahey, Borovalley Veterinary Clinic (VB Veterinary) provides care for both horses and small animals, with the website specifically highlighting advanced medical/surgical capability for equine work. The clinic describes on-site facilities including a laboratory, pharmacy and a dental clinic, and states it offers “after hours” emergency services for both pet and horse clients. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being helped outside normal times (late at night and at weekends), getting clear explanations (“straight talking… no jargon”), and practical follow-through such as after-care instructions after dental procedures. Several reviews also point to calm handling of difficult or anxious pets (including “snappy, grumpy dogs”) and respectful support during euthanasia.
