Lower Ormond Veterinary Birr has limited veterinary-specific information available from its website summary and the latest reviews we can see. What is consistently evidenced is a focus on an agricultural product range: multiple reviewers describe buying “Agri stuff,” mention a broad product selection, and reference delivery with no issues. Recent written feedback also mentions staff being “nice and polite” and “very helpful,” but there are no concrete details in the available sources about consultations, treatments, procedures, or emergency arrangements.
