The ladies in the Shanahoe clinic are fantastic. They always welcome you with a smile, are friendly, knowledgeable, warm and treat your pet with such care! I could not recommend them enough. Thank you !

Absolutely amazing team of professionals. They helped us through some very difficult time with our furry girl. Always there to answer our questions, went over and beyond to help us. Even in her last minutes, before she crossed the rainbow bridge, we felt their support and compassion. We will be forever thankful and will always recommend you..

Very professional and compassionate. I had the joy of having a little blue Frenchie as part of the family who received the best of care from this veterinary practice when she was with us. Their pricing is very reasonable and the staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable. Your pet would be very well looked after under this clinic's care. I personally cannot thank them enough for giving me extra time, that I didn't think I'd have, with my dog. Grateful to have such a great service in our town

Absolutely excellent, very reasonable prices for the services they provided for my dog. Nearly €100 less than I'd been asked for at a previous vets. Lovely friendly staff and my dog felt totally at ease with them despite being in pain. They are extremely professional, kind and empathise with owners. I would highly recommend this practice if you need a vet in Rathdowney, ballacolla,shanahoe area
