Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Summerhill Veterinary Hospital is a general veterinary practice (no corporate/group ownership is mentioned in the information provided). 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. ## Services Based on the website/clinic data provided here, no specific service list is stated. Services mentioned in the written reviews include: - Urgent consultations: weekend care described for a paw cut on glass and for an elderly dog with a burst abscess. - Anaesthesia/sedation monitoring: one reviewer says their dog was kept in until the vet was sure the anaesthetic was out of the system. - Nail clipping: one long-term client mentions their dog only allows this clinic to do his nails. - End-of-life care (euthanasia): multiple reviews describe being talked through the process step by step, with empathy and professionalism. ## Pricing - One reviewer reports being charged €75 for what they felt was a very short visit (they estimate 4–5 minutes) for an elderly dog with an abscess. ## People - Sarah (vet): thanked by a family for “kindness, sensitivity, patience” during a dog’s final visit (end-of-life appointment). - Leanne (vet): described as chatting through the appointment, keeping the owner fully informed, and sharing practical tips they found valuable. ## Reviews Google rating: 4.6 stars from 100 reviews. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - End-of-life support is repeatedly highlighted: owners mention being talked through euthanasia step by step and feeling the team handled it with empathy and professionalism. - Handling of anxious/fussy dogs in routine care: one owner notes their dog won’t let anyone else clip his nails. - Caution/aftercare around anaesthetic: a reviewer describes the vet keeping their dog in until they were satisfied the anaesthetic had fully worn off. - A clear negative about communication and payment chasing: one long-term client describes delays and uncertainty around being seen on a Sunday, then multiple calls about payment shortly after, which they found abrupt and unnecessary, alongside feeling the fee (€75) was high for the time spent.

O'Connor's Ennis Veterinary Surgery provides consultations for companion animals and also runs a mobile ambulatory service for farm and equine clients (as stated on its website). The website also states a 24/7, 365-day on-call emergency service; however, multiple reviews describe not getting a response when calling late at night for an emergency, so expectations around out-of-hours access may be worth clarifying. From the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention: - vets taking time to assess and discuss options rather than “automatically jumping to expensive procedures” - support around end-of-life decisions, including time spent talking through options for an older dog - willingness to help in difficult situations (e.g., assessing and treating a stray cat when others were “unhelpful”)

BurrenVets presents itself as a veterinary practice aiming for “personal” care (from its website tagline). From the latest reviews, the clinic is frequently used for prompt assessment of sudden injuries and for diagnostic imaging, with multiple owners describing same-day appointments for limping/foot injuries and staff who take time to explain options. Reviews also describe x-rays and ultrasound (including under sedation), and several mention support during palliative and end-of-life visits. One review strongly conflicts with the positive experiences, alleging a serious failure to respond appropriately to an emergency involving a cat with breathing difficulties.

Scariff Veterinary Clinic appears to operate as a general small-animal practice based on reviews describing treatment for an unwell dog (antibiotics), management of seizure-like episodes with medication, and support around euthanasia. Owners often mention appointments where pets improved quickly after treatment (one review describes a dog “back to normal” within two days after antibiotics) and several describe the team as kind and patient. One detailed negative review conflicts with this, alleging a lack of clear diagnosis and follow-through for suspected vision loss and “mini fits,” and discouragement from seeing a specialist due to age/cost.
