Scariff Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Scariff
Clinic Overview
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.
Services
Based on the written reviews available
- •Treatment for acute illness in dogs, including prescribing antibiotics.
- •Assessment and medical management of seizure-like episodes (“mini fits”), including prescribing medication and advising to stop if symptoms worsened (as described by one owner).
- •End-of-life care/euthanasia (one owner describes their dog being put to sleep and staff being kind during the process).
- •Discussion of referral to a specialist was raised by an owner (eye specialist), with one review stating they were advised against it due to age/cost.
Reviews
Google rating: 4.8 stars from 37 reviews.
- •Multiple owners describe vets as kind/patient and efficient, including during euthanasia.
- •A repeat review describes a dog that wasn’t eating and was weak, given antibiotics, and “back to normal” within two days.

Brought my dog in because we were concerned he was going blind last year. The vet basically said it was our fault we didn’t bring him in sooner. As if they could have stopped him going blind? (His symptoms had only developed over a few weeks) Didn’t give a diagnosis cataracts? Glaucoma? Nothing Didn’t seem to be very compassionate or concerned. When I questioned bringing him to an eye specialist she said not too because he was older and it would be expensive. Older still means he deserves a good quality of life. We brought him in another time because he was experiencing “mini fits” they put him on a medication and told us to stop giving it to him if it made them worse. Which it did so we stopped it. They didn’t seem interested in doing anything else to figure out exactly what was wrong. 2 years later the fits became a lot more frequent so we brought him to Killaloe and they diagnosed him with epilepsy causing him focal seizures. It was absolutely awful to find out that he had been dealing with these for so long because Scariff vets did not do their job and probably examine him to find out what was wrong with him.
