Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Farney Veterinary Services is a small-animal veterinary practice (no corporate/vet-group ownership is stated in the information provided). Reviews repeatedly point to a hands-on, personal style of care, with particular detail around support for older pets and end-of-life decisions: one owner describes being given “space and time” when saying goodbye to a 15-year-old dog and feeling the team “didn’t just give up on him” beforehand. Several owners also mention the practice looking after multiple dogs and helping with stray cats, and one notes the clinic has been “recently…revamped.” Reception is frequently mentioned as welcoming and helpful, including a “resident cat” that greets visitors. ## Services Services mentioned in the available information include: - General veterinary care for dogs (multiple owners mention ongoing care for their dogs) - Care for cats, including “numerous stray cats” (as described by one reviewer) - Support for senior/very ill pets and attempts at treatment before end-of-life decisions (“gave him a fighting chance”) - End-of-life care, with owners specifically mentioning being given time and space during goodbye ## People - Simon (vet): Multiple reviews name Simon and describe him as gentle handling animals and explaining things in a way that reassures worried owners (e.g., “always puts me at ease,” “so gentle”). He’s also credited with helping both pet dogs and stray cats. - Reception team: Regularly mentioned for being welcoming and practical-help oriented (e.g., “friendly and helpful,” “so accommodating,” making pets and owners feel welcome from the moment they arrive). One review specifically calls out the receptionist as “very helpful.” ## Reviews Google rating: 4.9 stars from 148 reviews.

All Creatures Veterinary Group is a multi-branch practice that treats pets as well as farm animals and horses (including cattle, sheep and pigs). The clinic advertises a 24-hour emergency service at all branches, but the latest reviews show mixed experiences with that emergency cover: some owners describe being turned away when calling for urgent help. For routine and scheduled care, reviews mention dog neutering with clear pre-op explanations, aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments, as well as cat surgery and quick visits for rabies vaccination plus an EU pet passport.

Carrick Veterinary Centre
Carrickmacross
Our Score (73/100)
Carrick Veterinary Centre’s ownership (independent vs part of a group) isn’t stated in the information available to us. Based on recent reviews, the clinic is used for routine appointments and problem-focused visits (for example, a dog seen for limping within a few hours), and for end-of-life care. Owners repeatedly mention kind handling of difficult situations like euthanasia, but there are also clear reports of dissatisfaction—one owner felt surgery was pushed for a lump that another vet later managed conservatively, and another describes being turned away at a late appointment in favour of a different case. Concrete examples from reviews include: - Same-day/within-hours appointment reported for a limping Border Collie, “sorted before the weekend.” - Multiple detailed accounts of euthanasia being handled with dignity and clear explanations. - A complaint about a lump being presented as likely cancer and needing removal, with “no explanation,” later resolving with a cone and time after a second opinion. - A complaint about being asked to wait/leave at a late appointment and the vet arriving late.

Agri Health Veterinary Services focuses on veterinary support for intensive pig and poultry production rather than companion-animal care. The website describes an on-site laboratory for disease investigation alongside farm-based disease/welfare investigations, monitoring programs, quality assurance, and training/education. It also references “over 50 years of experience” working with food-producing industries. Public review detail available to us is sparse (one short comment: “Nice visit”), so most decision-relevant specifics come from the clinic’s own service description.

Oriel Veterinary Practice has limited published service information available from its website source (a Facebook page that requires login), so the clearest picture comes from client feedback. Reviews describe generally positive experiences with vets and animal handling, alongside a repeated complaint from one reviewer about being unable to see a vet when they needed help and being told they’d have to wait until Monday. One concrete standout is that the receptionist was described as “very impressive and more than helpful” during that same situation.
