I'm really happy with the service. I couldn’t get an appointment anywhere else, but Francis always manages to fit me in — even at short notice. It makes such a difference. She’s great and really loves what she does.

Frances Browne is one of THE best vets. Not only is she very compassionate and caring, putting animals as well as owners at ease. She also is always open minded, ready to look into new information, and willing to research thoroughly what is brought to her attention. She is supportive of natural remedies as well as pharmaceuticals, never excluding either. Frances is one of the very few “FIP friendly” vets in Ireland and willing to share her experiences with FIP cats and their treatment and cure with anybody who needs information about it. She supported me the whole 6 months of my cat Vicky’s treatment, and she was the only vet in Ennis willing to do so. It is also thanks to her that today Vicky is a happy and healthy kitty. Frances is also famous for her almost invisible spaying incisions on female cats. Absolutely amazing work.
