Best Vets in Ireland

Mulcair Vet Clinic provides care for both companion animals and large animals, and the website states a 24-hour emergency service for registered clients (24/7, 365 days a year). Based on the services listed, the clinic is set up for routine preventative care (parasite treatment, microchipping, neutering), diagnostic work-ups (X‑ray and ultrasound), and longer-term support such as weight management plans and dental health checks/health care plans. Reviewers most often mention approachable staff and good communication (including office staff), with one long-term client calling out ongoing treatment planning for a pet with “a few health problems.” There are also mixed experiences across species: one review praises the “horse side” while another reports disappointment with a dog case that needed a second vet.

Irish Equine Centre is an ISO-accredited laboratory focused on independent diagnostics, alongside education and research for the horse industry. Based on its website, it’s set up primarily for testing services (with a “submit a sample” workflow), covering equine as well as farm, companion, and zoo animal testing, plus environmental and commercial testing. The small number of available Google reviews are all 5-star, with the only written feedback describing a “very professional service” and staff who “go above and beyond to help out.”

Condren P appears to operate primarily as an emergency/urgent-care option, based on repeated mentions of owners calling an emergency line late at night and being seen quickly. Reviews repeatedly describe rapid response for time-sensitive issues (for example, a puppy seen within minutes of a late-night call, and a cat seen “straight away” after collapsing), plus hands-on follow-up such as daily check-in calls after visits and a call after a medication course ended. A large share of the latest reviews focus on end-of-life care: multiple owners describe Patrick coming out to the home for euthanasia, giving families time, and keeping pets calm in familiar surroundings. One owner also mentions receiving a sympathy card weeks later. Feedback is mixed on telephone triage: one recent reviewer says they were “brushed off” when asking whether an ingestion required an urgent visit, while others describe clear explanations, written instructions, and being guided on what to do next (including recommending scans at a veterinary hospital the following morning).

Mid West Veterinary Clinic is frequently described in reviews as a practice that handles both urgent medical cases and sensitive end-of-life appointments with a lot of practical support. Owners mention pets being kept in for multiple nights when critically unwell, follow-up/aftercare guidance after treatment, and a dedicated, thoughtfully prepared room for euthanasia appointments (with details like candles, blankets, and memorial keepsakes such as paw prints and a hair clipping). Reviews also describe staff helping reunite a lost puppy with its owner within about 30 minutes.

Kilshane House appears to be an independently run wedding and events venue (no corporate group is mentioned in the available information). The website source describes it as an “elegant and spacious Regency House built in 1822,” and recent reviews focus heavily on full-weekend wedding hosting—ceremony spaces on-site, coordinated timelines, food service, bars, and overnight stays. Concrete specifics mentioned repeatedly include: - Dedicated wedding coordination and planning support (Saoire is named multiple times for guiding decisions and keeping the day running calmly). - Multiple on-site spaces used for different parts of the event, including a conservatory ceremony, an “orangerie/orangery” for receptions, and a basement area used for a pre-wedding dinner. - Food and drink are a major part of the experience (canapés, dinner, breakfast, and bar service are all described), with one review reporting disappointment about fish portion size and breakfast temperature, contrasting with multiple reviews praising the food highly. - The grounds are used for photography and quiet breaks, with walks and views mentioned (including a dining room opening to a lake view).

All Creatures Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice that treats pets as well as farm animals and horses (including cattle, sheep and pigs). The clinic advertises a 24-hour emergency service at all branches, but the latest reviews show mixed experiences with that emergency cover: some owners describe being turned away when calling for urgent help. For routine and scheduled care, reviews mention dog neutering with clear pre-op explanations, aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments, as well as cat surgery and quick visits for rabies vaccination plus an EU pet passport.

Virginia Veterinary Hospital is part of Clerkin Veterinary Hospitals (as stated on the clinic website) and offers care for small animals, large animals, equine, and some exotic animals. The website also highlights that the practice supplies multiple types of animal dosing (oral doses, drenches, pour-ons, and injections). In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention vets explaining problems and next steps clearly (including a dog treated for a yeast ear infection) and one review describes the clinic accommodating a last‑minute appointment for a cat. Feedback is mixed on front-desk experience: one reviewer reports rude receptionists while also saying the vet was excellent.

Ormonde Veterinary Hospital describes itself as a mixed practice (treating both pets and farm animals) with a team of 25+ and 40+ years’ experience, operating from modern premises and accredited “at the highest level” by the Veterinary Council of Ireland. The website also states 24/7 emergency care for pets. In reviews, owners most often highlight long-term continuity (one family says the team has looked after their dogs and cats for 20+ years), supportive handling of difficult situations (including euthanasia with clear explanations and being given time to say goodbye), and practical problem-solving (for example, grooming a fearful dog without needing sedation, and a treatment plan/medication that reduced repeat surgery visits for one owner).

Newcastle West Pet Vet Clinic states that it runs a 24-hour emergency service, 7 days a week (outside normal appointment hours). Based on the written reviews available, owners most often talk about routine vet visits and grooming: some describe dogs coming home “looking great after a groom” and mention staff “going above and beyond” when a vet visit is needed, while one reviewer reports cuts after grooming on two occasions and says they would not return for grooming. Communication and explanation are also a recurring point—one reviewer specifically mentions the vet explaining next steps and the reasons for them.

Brookpark Veterinary Hospital is described in reviews as a busy clinic that still “will always find time to fit you in,” with multiple owners returning over many years. It appears set up for medical and surgical care: one owner mentions “smooth procedures” for both a dog and a cat, specifically noting that the internal stitches were “great,” and that aftercare was strong. Owners also describe vets staying calm and gentle with nervous or difficult-to-handle cats, and one review credits the team with saving a cat’s life.
