Lyster Vet

Portlaoise

Our Score (69/100)

4.5(42 reviews)
Independent Clinic
Treats:

Lyster Vet’s public information and the latest reviews available to us describe a business operating as a pharmacy rather than a veterinary clinic, including online ordering, home delivery being offered, and in-store ear piercing. Review feedback is mixed: several recent reviews focus on helpful, knowledgeable staff, while one recent 1‑star review reports an online order being cancelled a week later without any explanation.

Rathdowney Veterinary Clinic is a small-practice veterinary clinic (ownership/group not stated) with a 4.9★ Google rating from 27 reviews. From the written reviews available, it appears set up for companion-animal care with an emphasis on support during difficult, end-of-life situations: owners mention staff being “always there to answer our questions,” providing “support and compassion” in a pet’s final moments, and one owner says the clinic “gave me extra time… with my dog.” Practical handling is also called out—one review notes a dog “felt totally at ease… despite being in pain,” and multiple reviews describe a friendly, welcoming team.

JC Nutrivet is listed as a veterinary provider, but the information provided here doesn’t include any detail on whether it’s independent or part of a wider group, what species/case types it focuses on, what facilities it has, or what services it offers. No website summary, pricing information, staff details, or Google rating/review content was included in the inputs, so there isn’t enough evidence to describe its day-to-day offering (e.g., vaccinations, neutering, dentistry, imaging, urgent care) or how clients experience the service.

Dunmasc Animal Health is listed in the provided clinic data, but no further details were supplied about whether it’s independently owned or part of a group, what species/case types it focuses on, what services it offers, or what client experiences have been like. Without a website summary, services list, or review/rating data, it isn’t possible to describe its facilities, approach, or practical strengths (for example, whether it offers routine care, surgery, diagnostics, urgent appointments, or follow-up practices).

Mountrath Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice (no corporate group affiliation is stated in the information provided). Recent reviews describe the clinic dealing with both routine care (vaccines and microchipping) and more complex medical situations, including hospitalising a dog with diabetes complications and seizures. Owners mention pets being taken in quickly when severely unwell, overnight care with updates, and frank discussions about next options—including end-of-life decisions. Concrete examples mentioned in reviews include: - Same-day acceptance of a very sick dog and keeping her in overnight while monitoring and updating the owner. - Managing a dog with a recent diabetes diagnosis who later developed seizures and deteriorated. - Vaccinations and microchipping for puppies, with multiple reviewers commenting positively on pricing (no exact amounts given). - An “extensive check-up” that an owner reports helped their dog return to full health.

Independent Clinic
Treats:

Bellair House Stud Equine Services appears—based on the information available from its website source—to be an independently run equine property/landscape maintenance business rather than a general small-animal veterinary clinic. The only concrete service evidence we have is a long-term client testimonial stating that “Derek has maintained my properties for the past 10 years… extremely reliable, trustworthy, and… professional.” The latest written reviews we can see are sparse and include joke/banter-style comments rather than describing any specific equine clinical work.

Larke Veterinary

Ballybrittas

Our Score (58/100)

5.0(47 reviews)
Independent Clinic
Treats:

Larke Veterinary is described in reviews as a small, team-led clinic where owners see the same staff looking after their pets, including outside normal hours (a 24‑hour service is mentioned by one reviewer). Based on what clients actually describe, the clinic seems set up for both routine consults and unwell pets needing closer monitoring. Concrete examples mentioned include: - Pets staying in the clinic for “a couple of days” with owners kept “in constant contact” during the stay. - Full examinations and diagnosis, followed by practical at-home advice (diet and supplements were specifically mentioned). - Staff gathering “every detail” about a pet to guide treatment decisions. - A dog who is “happy and excited” to visit, suggesting low-stress handling for at least some patients.

#20

Our Score (48/100)

5.0(1 review)
Independent Clinic
Treats:

T.J. Cleary appears to be a small veterinary practice where at least one client reports a long-running relationship with the vet. The only written feedback available to us is brief and focuses on the personal manner of Tim Cleary (“a true gentleman”), without mentioning specific treatments, facilities, or how appointments are handled.
