Leixlip Veterinary Hospital

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.
