Rockhall Vets Shannon

Rockhall Vets Shannon offers a 24-hour emergency arrangement with Limerick Night Vets (as stated on the clinic website). Reviews describe the practice seeing routine puppy checks with treatment started immediately (antibiotics after an issue was spotted on registration) and handling sicker cases with “thorough” diagnosis. Pricing feedback is mixed: one owner was impressed with the prices, while another review cites a much higher quote for dental work compared with another clinic.

Concrete details mentioned by owners include

• •Puppy registration/check-over where a problem was identified quickly and antibiotics were prescribed, with rapid improvement reported.
• •Bird (budgie) consultation including a thorough exam, advice, and antibiotics, with the bird improving.
• •A reported dental/teeth case quote that one reviewer felt was very expensive.
