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.

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.
