Lakeview Small Animal Surgery
Mountbellew
Our Score (83/100)
Lakeview Small Animal Surgery is a long-established veterinary practice (the website says it was established 42 years ago) and does not mention being part of a corporate group. Based on its own service list and owner reports, it appears set up for both routine care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) and more involved medical/surgical work, with on-site diagnostic, laboratory and dental equipment. Decision-relevant points owners mention alongside the clinic’s stated capabilities: - A vet named Linda is repeatedly credited with taking time to review tests in detail and “get to the bottom” of an illness rather than rushing decisions (including a case where a dog had been given a very poor prognosis elsewhere). - Owners describe the clinic handling urgent presentations (one review mentions bringing an elderly dog “in an emergency”). - Referrals are part of the care pathway: one owner describes being referred “next door to the vet referral clinic,” where Francisco is named as providing further help. - Reviews are mostly very positive, but there is a clear complaint about being asked to pay for antibiotics for an injured wild bird, with the reviewer alleging vets are obliged to treat wildlife.

Thomas A Glynn Veterinary Practice
Ahascragh
Our Score (82/100)
Thomas A Glynn Veterinary Practice is described in reviews as offering “personal service,” with one owner explicitly contrasting it with “corporate vets.” Based on recent feedback, the practice appears set up for both routine preventive care and sick/urgent cases, with multiple mentions of quick appointment availability and phone updates during treatment. Concrete specifics owners mention include: - Routine care such as scheduled vaccinations (“shots”) and neutering. - Management of ongoing issues (one cat with recurring cystitis, with appointments arranged quickly). - Phone communication during treatment (one owner says they were kept informed “on all steps” and things were explained clearly). - Administrative support for pet insurance claim forms being completed promptly. Reviews also include a serious negative account involving a dog with open pyometra, where the owner reports being advised to delay surgery and describes the interaction as blunt and distressing—this conflicts with other reviews describing compassion and reassurance.

Divilly Veterinary Clinic is most often described in reviews as a general small-animal practice that also hosts a visiting (“roaming”) vet for exotic pets. Owners mention routine care (injections and check-ups), surgery with detailed aftercare guidance, and more investigative work-ups (tests scheduled to pinpoint a spine problem) rather than “rest and see.” Concrete points owners repeatedly mention include: - A clean clinic environment. - Thorough examinations and planning of appropriate tests (including for spinal issues). - Clear aftercare explanations following an operation. - An emphasis (in one exotic-pet case) on aiming for the least invasive treatment route possible. One recent review conflicts with the overwhelmingly positive feedback: it alleges repeated appointment mix-ups (expecting a particular vet but being seen by someone else) and describes the owner as arrogant/unprofessional.
