Treats:

The information available to us doesn’t describe a veterinary clinic. The website text we could retrieve and the latest Google reviews appear to be for a property/estate agency (“Jordan Auctioneers”), while the name in the clinic record is “Simon B Harty”. Because of this mismatch, there isn’t enough reliable, clinic-specific evidence here to describe veterinary services, facilities, or how pets are treated. What is consistently described in the reviews we have is a home-buying/selling process: frequent communication and updates, help with documentation, and practical support such as meeting to hand over keys outside normal hours.

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.

Cormackstown Veterinary is part of the MyVet group (founded by vets Liam and Nuala Moriarty) and was established in 2012. The clinic appears set up for routine and surgical care, with purpose-built facilities including a dedicated dental suite, operating theatre, isolation area, cat consult room, dog ward, and large walk-in kennels. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - Being “squeezed in” for appointments and helped over the phone when needed. - Vaccinations/annual injections and check-ups that were described as smooth and clearly explained. - Mixed experiences on front-desk and fee communication: one reviewer describes a patronising reception interaction when calling about an injured cat, and another describes tests/consultation charges not being made clear upfront during a booster visit.

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.

The Irish National Stud appears to be set up as a visitor experience built around thoroughbred horses and formal gardens, rather than a pet clinic. Recent reviews repeatedly mention guided tours (including seeing mares and foals, and “legends” on the grounds), an interactive “racing experience” element, and landscaped areas such as the Japanese Gardens. The website summary notes it is “closed for the season” and will “re-open for visitors on Monday 26th January 2026.” Concrete specifics owners/visitors mention: - Guided tours described as “packed full of information,” including breeding history and on-site horses. - Japanese Gardens described as “peaceful” with a commentary in the guide. - An “interactive experience” / “racing experience” that people say is fun. - On-site food mentioned positively (“tasty food in restaurant”), plus a gift shop.
