## Summary Kiernan Animal Health appears to be associated with Kiernan Milling: the website text describes a family-run milling business supplying animal feedstuffs since 1979. From the information available here, there aren’t any stated veterinary clinical services, species treated, facilities, or emergency arrangements. The latest Google reviews are mixed (some 5-star “Class” comments, and multiple 1-star complaints), and at least some of the written feedback refers to delivery/yard logistics (waiting to “tip a load”) rather than pet care. ## Reviews **Google rating: 3.8 stars from 10 reviews.** **The basis below is drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - Several 5-star reviews include only the word “Class,” without detail on what was provided. - Multiple 1-star reviews complain about long waits and poor service when trying to “tip a load,” describing the place as “like a ghost town.” - Overall, the written feedback conflicts (very positive ratings vs. strong complaints), and the specific negative comments relate to operational/service delays rather than animal treatment.
