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.

Shannonside Veterinary Clinic is a general practice that, based on recent reviews, handles both routine care and urgent problems—owners mention getting a same-day appointment when their dog needed to be seen quickly. The clinic is also described as providing surgical neutering (with a dog neutered there) and helping with end‑of‑life arrangements, including guidance around cat cremation even for people not yet registered. One long-term client also reports the team came out on short notice when a dog was in trouble, suggesting they can support urgent situations beyond a standard in-clinic visit.

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.

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.

Reviews repeatedly name Frances (Francis) Browne and describe her as able to fit appointments in at short notice, including when clients say they couldn’t get availability elsewhere.
