Featured Clinic Overview
Smith & Foley is a long-established veterinary clinic (operating since 1964) treating small animals as well as large animals and equines. The website highlights in-house diagnostics (X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, and an in-house lab) and 24‑hour emergency cover; recent reviews back up that out-of-hours care is being used in practice (one owner describes being asked to meet a vet within 30 minutes after calling the out-of-hours number). Owners also mention pets returning from procedures “in good spirits,” and a case where staff helped with a found dog that turned out to be a runaway.

Kelly Veterinary Hospital is a veterinary practice led by Paul (no corporate group affiliation is mentioned in the information available to us). Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for hands-on, problem-solving general practice work and surgery—particularly keyhole (laparoscopic) spaying for dogs. Owners also describe a more investigative approach to ongoing medical issues (for example, one cat owner says Paul worked to understand the underlying problem rather than keeping their cat on long-term medication), and support around end-of-life care, including a “respectful, peaceful & dignified” goodbye for a dog.

Flynn & O'Connell is a small-animal veterinary practice (dogs are repeatedly mentioned in reviews) with a 4.7★ Google rating from 20 reviews. Owners most often describe a “no-nonsense” style of veterinary care and good handling of nervous or older dogs—one reviewer specifically mentioned bringing an aged, “grumpy” dog and feeling much less anxious after how easily the team managed him. On the admin side, a front-desk staff member is singled out for “going above and beyond.” One 1★ rating is present without written detail, so not all experiences are positive.

Laytown Veterinary Clinic is part of Westgate Veterinary Clinic and, based on the clinic’s own information, is set up for both small animals and farm animals with a 24/7 on-call service and a long-running service history (since 1986).
