Specialist Vets in Ballina

## Summary Sabine Linka Veterinary Practice appears to be a small, named-vet practice rather than a corporate group (no group ownership is stated in the available information). Reviews repeatedly mention vet **Eamon/Eamonn** for being “straight to the point” and “honest,” with multiple owners saying they trust his judgement and find him “reasonable.” Practical experience described in reviews includes a **dog being hospitalised and recovering fully**, and several owners noting their pets were **kept at ease during visits**. Reception staff are also mentioned for **helping secure appointments quickly**. ## Services Only a few specific services are described in the information available: - **Veterinary consultations** (implied by multiple routine “visit” mentions). - **Hospitalisation/inpatient care** (one owner reports their 12-year-old dog was “recently hospitalised” and recovered). No other procedures (e.g., surgery, dentistry, vaccinations) are explicitly stated in the website summary or the latest reviews provided. ## People - **Eamon / Eamonn (vet)**: Mentioned repeatedly as “honest,” “straight to the point,” and good with dogs. One review describes him taking “great care” of a dog during hospitalisation leading to a full recovery. - **Danielle**: Named positively by one reviewer alongside Eamon as being helpful and “fab with my dogs.” - **Reception team**: Mentioned as friendly and helpful, and as trying to **get appointments as soon as possible**. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.7 stars from 90 reviews.** “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Owners repeatedly highlight **Eamon/Eamonn’s direct, candid communication** (“tells it how it is”) and describe him as **honest**. - Multiple comments point to pets being **handled in a way that keeps them calm** (“animal was at ease,” “very good with my boys”). - One detailed review describes **hospitalisation and recovery** for an older dog. - Pricing is rarely discussed, but one reviewer notes a **downside was the charge**, while another describes the vet as **reasonable** (these points don’t fully align, so experiences may vary).

## Summary Ovagen Group has very limited publicly available information in the sources provided: the website summary contains no service or capability details, and the latest Google reviews available to us include star ratings but no written feedback. Google Maps shows a 5.0-star rating from 1 review, although our review feed lists two 5-star entries from the same author—so the review count is inconsistent across sources. ## Reviews **Google rating:** 5.0 stars from **1** review. **The latest reviews available to us:** two 5-star ratings (both by the same author) but **no written review text**. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” No written themes are available in the review text we received (only star ratings).

## Summary Very limited information is available to assess this as a pet clinic: the website data we could extract lists no veterinary services, species treated, facilities, or emergency arrangements, and the Google category shown is simply “establishment.” The only Google reviews available to us are 5‑star ratings with no written feedback, so there aren’t concrete, pet-specific experiences to learn from. ## Reviews **Google rating:** 5 stars from **1** review. **Thems below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - The review entries available to us are **5‑star ratings without any written text**, so they don’t provide details about treatment, communication, pricing, or outcomes. - There is a **data mismatch**: Google shows **1** review, but we have **two** 5‑star entries (both from the same author) in the feed provided.

## Summary Operates under the **Charles River Laboratories** name (listed on Google as an “establishment”), but the information available to us **doesn’t describe any veterinary/pet healthcare services** (no treatments, appointments, or clinical facilities are mentioned in the structured data or the latest written reviews we can see). The few written reviews that are available focus on **staff interactions and deliveries**, with **mixed overall ratings** (both 5‑star and 1‑star ratings appear, though the lowest ratings shown here don’t include written detail). ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.1 stars from 29 reviews.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - A couple of reviewers specifically mention **staff being good to deal with** and describe an **“excellent culture”** and **progressive company**. - One written review mentions **deliveries being handled quickly** (“ensure that delivery is done quickly”). - Several **low-star ratings (1 star)** are present in the recent set shown, but **no written explanations** are available for those entries here, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t clear from the text we have.
