West Coast Vets describes itself as a mixed veterinary practice for small animals, large animals and equine, offering both in-clinic care and on-farm visits. The website states it is open 24/7 for emergencies. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention pets being kept calm during visits and procedures, with clear explanations and patient handling. Concrete examples from reviews include: - A vet travelling out to help with at-home euthanasia when another practice would not. - Dogs coming out of surgery “completely relaxed,” with owners noting how comfortable their pet seemed. - Support for anxious dogs (including a grooming visit mentioned in one review) and a weight-loss plan for an older dog.

Craughwell Veterinary Clinic offers 24/7 emergency veterinary care (as stated on its website) and is used by owners for both pet procedures and large-animal call-outs. Reviews describe a practice that’s set up for routine surgery and preventive care (spaying, vaccinations, microchipping, pre-op blood tests) as well as on-farm/field work, with clients mentioning prompt call-outs and practical planning to prevent repeat issues. Concrete examples from reviews include sending pets home after spays with personalised aftercare guides and oral pain relief syringes, providing a detailed breakdown of blood test results, and small handling touches like offering a blanket to settle an anxious dog.

Oughterard Veterinary Surgery is used by owners of multiple species, with reviews mentioning routine veterinary care for goats as well as appointments for dogs and cats. Across the latest comments, people repeatedly point to vet consultations that focus on practical advice and clear explanations (including a cat visit for a pet passport). Several reviewers also mention returning specifically for “Karel/Karl/Carl” and the wider team, describing gentle handling with dogs and an accommodating front-of-house experience.

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).

Wyncroft Veterinary Clinic appears to operate as a family-run mixed animal practice (large animals, small animals, and equine) with on-site diagnostics including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, in-house blood testing, urinalysis, and isolation units (website). Reviews back up a clinic geared to hands-on medical work and decision-making in the consult room—for example, one owner reports blood tests and a full exam with detailed results in ~10 minutes, followed by a discussion of what the results could mean and treatment options (reviews). Same-day help is also mentioned for an urgent issue (a dog that broke a tooth in half) (reviews). A recurring practical point from one detailed review: there may be a strict appointment policy for purchasing clinic-supplied items, and the reviewer describes an uncomfortable reception interaction and lack of email follow-up, alongside otherwise very positive experiences with the vets (reviews).

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.
