Beaufield Veterinary Centre has been providing veterinary care since 1996, and its website highlights routine services such as neutering, vaccination, and pet blood donation, plus a “Pet Health Club™” membership (ownership/group isn’t stated). Recent reviews are mixed: many long-term clients describe consistently helpful care over years, including one new client whose dog was “seen straight away” with a plan made, while a small number report serious concerns (including one reviewer attributing a dog’s death after multiple visits and another describing an abrupt, uncompassionate phone call). Practical note from a regular client: the reception area can feel cramped/cluttered when several clients are present, which mattered for a large dog needing space.

Leixlip Veterinary Hospital is described in reviews as a general veterinary practice seeing a range of species, including dogs, cats, and pet birds (budgies). Owners mention being fitted in when a pet had a serious condition, and being given time and space during end-of-life appointments. Reviews also include a detailed second-opinion case for a dog with a chronic stomach issue, where the vet discussed a plan to investigate rather than rushing the appointment. Concrete examples owners mention: - Urgent appointments: one owner says they were “fitted in” due to a serious condition. - End-of-life care: multiple reviews describe compassionate euthanasia support and being allowed time with a pet afterwards. - Complex/ongoing problems: a chronic tummy issue in a dog where the vet made a plan to look into it and gave practical advice. - Exotics: treatment for two budgies, which the owner noted isn’t commonly offered by many vets.

Hawkfield Veterinary Clinic is described in reviews as a long-running practice for some families (one cat attended for “over 20 years”), dealing with everything from routine procedures to complex, ongoing medical issues. Recent reviewers repeatedly mention being accommodated quickly when it matters—one owner says they were seen within an hour for an emergency call—and several describe staff supporting pets with long-term health problems and end-of-life moments. Concrete examples mentioned include neutering, treatment for ear cancer (including reconstructive work described as “new ears”), and staff fitting in urgent appointments and follow-ups for unwell animals.

Celbridge Veterinary Centre is repeatedly described in reviews as a single-vet style practice led by Robert “Bob” Frayne/Franye. Based on what owners mention, it appears geared toward straightforward small-animal care and pragmatic decision-making rather than upselling. Specific examples in reviews include a skin check with a skin scrape for a dog, and end-of-life care where the vet explained what would happen and carried out euthanasia “unbelievably gentle,” with the owner holding their pet throughout. Multiple reviewers also explicitly say they felt the focus was on the pet rather than “the money.”

Riverforest Veterinary Centre highlights out-of-hours emergency handling on its website and offers online appointment booking. In reviews, owners most often single out Steve for taking time to listen and check pets thoroughly, and for gentle handling of anxious animals (one nervous dog reportedly came out of the treatment room “with her tail wagging” and a plan in place). A detailed older review describes a sock ingestion case where the team kept a dog an extra day for additional tests and tried to avoid surgery before operating when it proved necessary, with the owner saying the operation went well.

The small number of available Google reviews are all 5-star, with the only written feedback describing a “very professional service” and staff who “go above and beyond to help out.”

Moss Veterinary Hospital describes itself as an independent small-animal hospital with in-house facilities such as radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, ECG, a laboratory, and a surgical theatre. The website also states that emergency care is available, with an out-of-hours arrangement via MiNight Emergency Vets. In recent reviews, owners most often point to urgent/problem-focused care (including a review describing an emergency endoscopy taken “right away”) and support around bereavement, including a condolence card with paw and nose prints after a pet’s death. Communication also comes up in specifics: one owner notes they received phone updates and a clear discussion of options and possible scenarios during an emergency case.

Acorn House Veterinary Clinic is an independent, family-owned companion-animal practice with online booking. The clinic’s website highlights in-house equipment including digital radiography, ultrasonography, multimodal anaesthesia monitoring, and infusion pumps. Reviews repeatedly point to hands-on, reassurance-focused handling (for example, a vet sitting on the floor to help a nervous dog settle) and follow-through such as next-day check-in calls after procedures. The clinic is also repeatedly chosen for non-traditional pets: owners describe treatment for rabbits (including dental work), rescue birds, and a leopard gecko.
