Highfield Veterinary Maynooth

Highfield Veterinary Maynooth is part of the Highfield Veterinary Group (a multi-site group, as stated on the clinic website). Based on the site and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine preventive care (annual check-ups and vaccinations are specifically mentioned) as well as urgent cases (the website states the team can handle “any emergency situation” with urgency and expertise). Owners most often describe a friendly front-desk welcome, vets who take time with nervous pets (one cat that “runs away from all people” reportedly stayed calm with Dr Alexis), and thoughtful follow-up gestures (a condolence/support card after a pet loss was mentioned). There is also at least one complaint about the price of a medication item (Calpol) compared with a pharmacy.
