Katy was recommended to me by my niece when our beloved cavachon Lillie was struggling to breathe. Lillie has a heart problem and was really very sick. Katy treated her with the utmost consideration and explained the situation with courtesy and respect. Lillie is on a treatment plan of medications for her condition and within 3 days was jumping and playing like a puppy. She continues to grow in strength and vitality and is no longer showing signs of a struggle. Thank you so much to Katy and Chloe for your dedication and diligence and your love and respect for the animals you treat. The world is a great place for animals with vets like you and Lillie is one of these lucky ones.

Kilcock Veterinary Hospital is amazing. We cannot recommend Katy and the whole team highly enough. We have been taking our dog there for the last 4 years and they have always taken the best care of her. We are always so impressed by their skill, kindness, professionalism and genuine love of animals. They are the best. 5/5

I have been a customer of Katy's for over 30 years and the service has always been excellent. Katy has saved my dogs lives on a couple of occasions. She has just completed all the veterinary work for my two dogs to travel to Australia. Katy went above and beyond to ensure that every little thing was done correctly. It was a long and stressful process as Australia has so many rules. The dogs are now in Australia and I will be forever grateful to Katy and her team. I will find it hard to get a vet here that is as good and dedicated as Katy. I highly recommend this practice.

Girls in Kilcock Veterinary Hospital are amazing very flexible any easy to make an appointment prices are affordable and honestly better than any other vet that we went, but most important thing for me was that we weren't turned away when my dog was in pain and we didn't have an appointment dr.Katy Murphy took us and helped us quickly.

After our dog Bonnie was viciously attacked, Katie and her team took us in for an emergency appointment within minutes of calling them. They treated her straight away and guided us in the right direction on the next steps for Bonnie's treatment. I can't thank them enough for all their help and reassurance. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking a great local vet practice

Katie is an absolute miracle worker. Our elderly cat, Mamamia, suffered from arthritis for years and after seeing multiple vets, we felt hopeless. Our despair grew when we moved into a new house with stairs and Mamamia was avoiding them completely due to the pain. We were so nervous during our first visit, but Katie's immediate diagnosis and treatment plan changed everything. Mamamia now gets a monthly anti-inflammatory injection and is like a kitten again! She runs, plays, and happily jumps up onto our bed at night. It's truly amazing to see her so happy. Katie also helped our other senior cat, Oddy. For years, he struggled with what other vets simply called reoccurring respiratory infections and general gum disease, treated with multiple courses of antibiotics. But Katie and her team had a more specific diagnosis: feline herpes virus. With her guidance, he's on a food supplement that has finally brought his condition under control. He hasn't taken antibiotics or other medication ever since. We are so incredibly grateful to Katie and her whole team. It's rare to find a vet who is so personal and truly invested in your pets' wellbeing. We are so lucky! 😺 😺♥️

Incredible practice. We came with our dog Ghost, our 7.5 yr old GSD who had been on a long, painful and very stressful journey before arriving with Katy and her dedicated team. We are beyond grateful to find Katy. Our dog had been given conflicting diagnoses with a local veterinary chain. We’d spent a full week with them, daily, and while they had 2 fantastic vets, their rotations and rosters meant we were bounced to 4 different and differing young vets in the space of an incredibly stressful, and shockingly expensive week. We thought our dog was going to die twice in that week. We found Katy among an online Reddit thread which described issues with that same veterinary chain. By the time the lady who posted that comment found Katy it was unfortunately too late. We found several other mentions of Katy in the same thread and made an appointment for the following day. I cannot explain the relief after meeting Katy and her lovely team the first time. I felt like we had been given a life line. They were calm, quietly confident, reassuring and in control. This is a vet and team who clearly love animals as we do. I was terrified they would say our dog was too far gone. They did not. They made a good, solid, ‘no-guarantees’, practical plan and I am beyond delighted to say that after a few weeks our dog is on the way back to full energy and a full life again. Katy and the girls there are as happy with the outcome as we are. We will be happy to travel from Ashbourne to Kilcock with Ghost to see Katy and her team regularly. THE BEST VET we have been to without a shadow of a doubt and we wholeheartedly recommend her. This is the type of vet you hope to meet and when you do you hope she will never ever retire. Thank you Katy and team.

I cannot recommend Katie and her team enough. My dog had to have eye surgery for entropian and a retained testicle.the team were absolutely so helpful and caring from start to finish, with my pup and insurance forms. If you want someone to love your pet as much as you do then definitely go to Kilcock Veterinary Hospital. Thanks guys!!

What amazing staff and practice. My 2 aren't very fond of their visits but the girls always get their injections done quick and without drama from my 2 fur babies. The advice I am given is always clear and Katie is great at explaining options and procedures. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my 2 rescues xx
