Knocknacarra Veterinary Clinic is part of Ark Vets Galway, a companion-animal practice with multiple branches and a referral service available (per the clinic website). Reviews describe both routine appointments and more complex work, including diagnostic imaging and an intestinal procedure referred in from another clinic. Owners most often mention fast access (including same-day availability), clear explanations of treatment plans, and supportive end-of-life care (including an out-of-hours vet in one account), alongside a minority of reviews raising concerns about bedside manner and high charges for imaging. Concrete specifics owners mention include: a same-day cat assessment appointment; clinicians coming out promptly to collect clients from the lobby; costs being outlined before treatment in at least one visit; and a condolence card/paw prints being provided after a pet’s passing.

Vetcare Athy is a small-animal veterinary clinic (ownership/group not stated in the available information). From the latest reviews, the clinic is repeatedly described as accommodating urgent appointments (one owner with a first-time visit says their pet with an eye infection was “fit in right away”) and as giving extra time and privacy during end-of-life visits (including a candle in reception to signal a goodbye appointment). Capability-wise, owners mention on-site blood tests and that imaging offered includes ultrasound; one reviewer says they were told no scanning other than ultrasound was available. There’s also a clear split in feedback on costs: some owners say procedures and costs are explained, while one recent reviewer strongly criticises pricing and reports leaving without a definite diagnosis after being unable to access the scan they expected.

Glasslyn Vets is a large practice (the website describes ten full-time vets across multiple clinics) offering care for both farm animals and companion animals, supported by facilities such as an in-house lab, X-ray and ultrasound. The clinic provides routine and more advanced work (including surgery, hospitalisation and cardiology), and also advertises emergency care via a dedicated emergency phone line. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - Thoughtful end-of-life support (including staff arranging “little keepsakes” after a sudden loss). - Surgical care for serious cases (one review mentions a referral for amputation surgery, plus accommodating an anxious rescue dog). - A pricing and responsiveness dispute around out-of-hours care (one reviewer describes a delayed call-back and a quoted emergency fee).

Joseph Benedict Byrne Veterinary Surgery (Barrowside Veterinary Hospital) is an independent veterinary hospital (no corporate group mentioned) established over sixty years ago and accredited by the Veterinary Council of Ireland. The website and reviews suggest it’s set up for a wide mix of cases across companion animals, farm animals, and equine, with in-house digital X‑ray and a stated 24/7 emergency service. In recent reviews, owners describe practical responsiveness—such as a vet doing a house call for an unwell cat, and being asked to come in early the next morning after a phone triage—alongside specific clinical work-ups (blood tests with results back within about an hour, full examinations, and medication provided after a problem was found). One reviewer also reports two earlier bad experiences but describes a later out-of-hours call being answered (despite the clinic being closed) and help provided at the requested address.

Mulroy Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice (no corporate group stated in the available information). Based on owner reports, it’s used for small-animal care and urgent, out-of-hours problems (examples include a puppy accident “in the middle of the night” and a dog needing paw stitches after hours). Reviews also reference planned dental work (scale and polish after a dental check-up) and equine services such as a 5‑stage pre‑purchase vetting. Feedback is mixed: several owners describe fast treatment and reassurance, while a couple of reviews raise serious concerns about an injured stray cat call being handled poorly and about the quality of a horse pre-purchase assessment.

Tullow Vet appears to be a small practice (no corporate group affiliation is stated in the available information) where repeat clients specifically seek out named clinicians for long-term care. Reviews describe both routine appointments (yearly vaccinations) and more complex or urgent situations—such as a very unwell cat seen “straight away,” and a female dog with a “complicated hormonal issue” that required correct assessment and treatment. Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include: - Same-day help in a “panic” call, with treatment options discussed before proceeding. - Medications dispensed with instructions after an urgent consult. - Surgical neutering/castration for a cat, with the owner noting healing went smoothly. - Thorough examinations and diagnostics/clinical judgement cited for complicated cases.

Petcare Vets is a small-practice clinic (no corporate group is stated in the information provided). Based on the latest reviews, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent presentations, with some cases involving extensive diagnostics and referral to a hospital service. Owners specifically mention: - Taking a dog in immediately for an emergency close to closing time and completing “everything that needed to be done.” - Managing complex feline illness with “numerous tests” and referral to UCG, including a two-night hospital stay and ongoing treatment with steroids and chemotherapy (one reviewer reports no definitive diagnosis months later). - End-of-life support, with one long-term client describing gentle, respectful help during a pet’s final visit. - A clear split in experiences: many describe supportive, informative care over years, while a few describe poor follow-up/communication and refusal to continue treatment after requesting a payment plan.

Reviews describe both routine and urgent care for dogs, including weekend contact for an injury/abscess situation, and support around end-of-life decisions. Specific experiences mentioned include a vet keeping a dog in after anaesthetic until they were confident it had fully worn off, step-by-step guidance during euthanasia, and (in one negative review) repeated follow-up calls focused on payment after a short consultation.

Cherrywood Veterinary Clinic describes itself as having over 30 years looking after pets’ health, with experienced vets, nurses and support staff, plus an online shop and a Pet Health Club® membership option. The website explicitly mentions care for dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. From the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: many highlight timely appointments and questions being answered, and name specific vets/nurses who were gentle with cats. A smaller set of reviews raise serious concerns, including a vet being rough handling a cat, a missed lymphoma diagnosis, and a perception of pressure toward longer-term treatments and higher prices than other clinics. Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include: - Vaccinations, blood tests, and management of pancreatitis (including prescription diet food). - Dental problems being treated. - A wide range of issues over time (“broken legs to every small illness”). - Support with end-of-life decisions and arranging private cremation (as described by one owner).
