Clinic Overview

Breaffy Veterinary Clinic’s ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. Based on the latest reviews, it appears set up for fast, practical day-to-day vet care—several owners mention being seen within minutes and being “in and out” quickly, alongside cases that involved repeat check-ins and ongoing treatment rather than a one-off visit.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include

  • Same-visit rapid triage: one dog was seen “within five minutes.”
  • Follow-up/rechecks: a cat with vomiting was examined, given medication, then brought back the next day (and again later) for further treatment.
  • Injectable treatments (“shots”) are explicitly mentioned as part of ongoing care.
  • Multiple staff members are named (Vivian/Vivienne and Shauna), suggesting a small team experience where owners remember who helped them.

Services

Services and care described in the written reviews available include

  • General consultations for dogs and cats.
  • Assessment and treatment of gastrointestinal signs (a cat “being sick every time she ate or drank”).
  • Medication prescribed/dispensed for illness (specific drug names not provided).
  • Repeat examinations and reassessments over consecutive visits.
  • In-clinic injections (“shots”) as part of treatment.
  • Quick-turnaround appointments for issues that owners felt needed prompt attention.

People

  • Vivian / Vivienne (vet; exact title not stated): Named repeatedly. Owners describe thorough checking during exams, clear communication about uncertainty (“hit or miss situation”), and persistence with follow-up visits and treatments until the pet improved.
  • Shauna (role not stated): Mentioned positively alongside Vivian in a recent review where a dog was seen within five minutes; the owner specifically noted both were “a delight.”

Reviews

4.9 stars from 167 reviews. - Speed and efficiency: multiple owners describe being seen very quickly (e.g., “within five minutes,” “in and out in about 5 minutes”).

  • Ongoing care when needed: a detailed account describes repeated visits for a vomiting cat, with medication, injections, and reassessment until the cat improved.
  • Value signals (without itemised prices): owners use terms like “cost effective” and “great value,” but no specific fees are stated.
  • Staff-specific praise: Vivian/Vivienne is singled out for being thorough and attentive; Vivian and Shauna are both named in a recent positive visit.
