Moycullen Veterinary Clinic is led by Clinical Director Leanne Eversten (named on the clinic website). The website lists routine preventive care such as vaccination and microchipping, and indicates they see a range of small pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and hamsters. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe a friendly, familiar team—including comments that staff “know every pet when they arrive”—and mention staff taking time to listen and answer questions thoroughly. One recent review is notably less positive (2 stars), suggesting experiences are not universally consistent.

Western Veterinary Clinic is a family-run mixed animal practice (website) set up for both companion animals and farm/equine work, with facilities on-site for digital X‑rays, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing (website). Reviews most often describe thorough medical workups (including blood tests with results shared quickly) and clear explanations of options. A few reviews also point to same-day help for urgent issues, such as a dog seen the day a tooth broke (reviews). One detailed review raises a potential friction point around front-desk processes for purchasing supplements/food, including the owner being told they needed an appointment to buy items and reporting mixed messages between vet advice and reception guidance (review).

The Pet Vet appears to be a small, vet-led practice (no corporate group is mentioned in the available information). Reviews repeatedly describe appointments with Ruth as unhurried and information-heavy—owners mention her “spen[ding] a lot of time going through everything,” and giving “a lot of information… to take away” about a dog’s recovery. A grooming service is also explicitly mentioned in reviews. Recent reviews also highlight careful handling (“never ever hurts the animals”) and a friendly manner (including “a great sense of humor”).

Barna Veterinary Clinic is led by Clinical Director Leanne Eversten (as stated on the clinic website). The website indicates the clinic sees dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and hamsters, and lists vaccination and microchipping among its services. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often describe support with cat care, including emergency appointments (including an Easter weekend visit) and end‑of‑life care; one reviewer also mentions a major skin infection that needed “specialist treatment” and resulted in “full recovery.” Cost is a clear decision point: one owner describes a ~€1000 bill for about six hours of care including euthanasia and felt the clinic was “known to be very expensive,” while other reviewers focus on being reassured and supported during urgent and difficult situations.

Knocknacarra Veterinary Clinic is part of Ark Vets Galway, a companion-animal practice with multiple branches and a referral service available (per the clinic website). Reviews describe both routine appointments and more complex work, including diagnostic imaging and an intestinal procedure referred in from another clinic. Owners most often mention fast access (including same-day availability), clear explanations of treatment plans, and supportive end-of-life care (including an out-of-hours vet in one account), alongside a minority of reviews raising concerns about bedside manner and high charges for imaging. Concrete specifics owners mention include: a same-day cat assessment appointment; clinicians coming out promptly to collect clients from the lobby; costs being outlined before treatment in at least one visit; and a condolence card/paw prints being provided after a pet’s passing.

Briarhill Veterinary Clinic is a purpose-built, 100% small-animal practice that has been providing care since 2009 and holds Hospital status with the Veterinary Council of Ireland. The clinic is equipped for diagnostics and in-clinic treatment (including digital X‑rays, ultrasound, ECG, and on-site blood and urine analysis) alongside surgery and dentistry facilities. Recent reviews include detailed accounts of compassionate end-of-life care (including a vet guiding owners through a terminal diagnosis and performing euthanasia “with tenderness and respect”), as well as criticism from others who felt euthanasia decisions were rushed or that payment was demanded before discussing an animal’s condition.

Portumna Vet Clinic is described in reviews as a practice that handles routine care and surgical work, with specific examples including cat spaying and treating a very sick, fitting puppy. Reviewers also mention support for end‑of‑life care, with one client describing a vet helping keep their cat comfortable and minimising stress for both pet and owner in the final weeks. Multiple reviews highlight thorough exams and clear reassurance (for example, explaining why spaying a cat soon after a litter was OK and returning the cat home the same day). A recurring limitation is out‑of‑hours/holiday cover: one recent reviewer says that when the clinic is closed during holidays, they could not rely on help.
