Highfield Veterinary Dunboyne

Highfield Veterinary Dunboyne is part of the Highfield Veterinary Group (as stated on the clinic website). The website says the clinic can handle emergency situations “with urgency and expertise.” From the latest reviews available to us, the practice appears set up for ongoing dog care including thorough initial assessments, follow-up after starting treatment, and surgical cases (one owner mentions their dog “needed an operation” and “is back to his old self”). Several reviewers also describe a named-vet relationship (returning specifically to vets such as Eimear/Emer and Avril) and mention staff making them feel comfortable, including during end-of-life care.
