Grey Abbey Veterinary Hospital is part of the Village Vets group (the clinic’s website is hosted under villagevets.ie). Based on recent reviews, the practice is frequently used for urgent and end-of-life care, and some owners mention communication touches such as sending a video update while a cat was recovering and not eating. Multiple reviews describe follow-up contact after difficult cases, including after an out-of-hours emergency visit. There is also conflicting feedback about how the clinic handles found/stray animals and about standards of monitoring for overnight patients.

Independent Clinic
Treats:

Ballyvarney Sport Horse Medicine is a specialist-led, equine-only clinic focused on sport horse and performance workups, with advanced on-site imaging. The website describes care led by a board-certified equine sports medicine specialist, and highlights a multidisciplinary approach for horses in sport, leisure, and rehabilitation. Facilities explicitly listed include standing MRI, CT units, digital x‑ray, ultrasound, and an on-site forge (supporting farriery services). The clinic also states it can bring routine care, diagnostics, and emergency response directly to the yard via ambulatory services.

Independent Clinic
Treats:

Only the organisation name (“Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board”) was provided. We weren’t given any clinic website details, service list, pricing, staff information, or Google rating/review text—so there isn’t enough evidence here to describe what veterinary care (if any) is offered, what species they treat, or what owners’ experiences have been.
