Emma Plant Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Kiernans Cross
Clinic Overview
Emma Plant Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice (dogs and cats are repeatedly mentioned) that owners describe as thorough and explanation-led: reviews frequently mention vets talking through options, medications, and expected outcomes step by step. The clinic setup is also a recurring decision point—clients mention waiting “in a room of your own” to reduce stress, plus a separate waiting room for cats. Recent reviews also point to a diagnostics-focused approach (“up to date tech and equipment” and “check every possible cause”), alongside practical support such as follow-up phone calls after emergency treatment and guidance on reducing stress during uncomfortable assessments.

I've been using Emma Plant to look after my 2 huskies and my cat for t years. She and her colleagues are always professional and explain my options clearly. All of the support staff there are great too. Update a year later. Still very happy with Emma and her team. They helped us through the sad loss of one Husky and gave great advice when I unexpectedly hosted 6 kittens.

Would highly recommend this practise. Staff are so nice, you are waiting in a room of your own so no stress for your pet or you! Examination was thorough and each step explained. I live in Dublin and was so impressed with my recent experience I will be travelling down from Dublin for future annual check ups.

I would highly recommend Emma Plant Veterinary Clinic to anyone who needs to have their Dog looked after. I particularly like the thoroughness and the attention they give my dog, they also explain everything, what the difference medications are for, and what the expected outcome will be. Superb veterinary clinic, can’t recommend them highly enough.

Emma and the team are wonderful people. They treat both pets and owners with respect, kindness and compassion. The everyday checkups are as calming as possible and they have lots of up to date tech and equipment to diagnose. I love information and they are eager to share which is great. In the times when we’ve had to say goodbye to a beloved pet it’s been a comfort to know they care so much and do as much as they can for us. I’d recommend anyone in the area to choose Emma plants practice for your veterinary care.

Saw my dog promptly and identified what the problem was quickly. Emma was so good with Jessie especially when some of the assessment and intervention was a little uncomfortable, and she was great at advising me what to do to make it less stressful for Jessie and to make her more comfortable. Big thanks to all the team.

I cannot thank the team at emma plant vets enough for the incredible care they gave Gizmo. They went above and beyond to check every possible cause of his illness and made sure nothing was missed. Their dedication to find the exact cause of the problem was outstanding — they treated Gizmo as if he were their own. I’m so grateful for their thoroughness and compassion. Truly exceptional vets who care as much about answers as they do about animals🤍

All the vets and staff at this practice are wonderful and were so gentle and considerate towards my cat. They gave her excellent care and saved her life when she was very poorly. They gave her emergency care over a holiday weekend even though I wasn’t registered with the practice. They also followed up by phone to check on her progress. I love the fact that they have a separate waiting room for cats. I highly recommend Emma and her team.

Amazing people who genuinely care. They've been incredibly helpful while my cats adjust to their new home. Ruth the receptionist is so friendly and kind and Niamh is just a wonderful vet, kind and takes her time dealing with the cats and their eccentricities. Honestly couldn't ask for more. Thank you so much to the entire team for everything
