## Summary Green Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice that, based on reviews, sees a mix of pets including dogs and poultry (multiple owners mention chickens being treated and recovering). Several reviews describe being seen at short notice (including a Saturday visit where a sick puppy reportedly improved within an hour after treatment). The review record also includes a serious complaint about the handling of a diabetic dog (the owner reports no blood tests were done, they were advised to go home overnight, and they were told there was no vet on call when they rang later). Separate reviews mention inconsistent front-desk experiences—some describe reception as supportive, while others report unhelpful interactions. ## Services Services and situations explicitly mentioned in the available reviews include: - Poultry/chicken care (owners describe vets treating chickens and providing “extensive care,” with chickens recovering and returning to normal). - Same-day/short-notice appointments, including a Saturday visit mentioned by one owner. - Injections and medications for acute illness (an owner mentions an antibiotic injection and an anti-sickness injection given during a visit). - Diabetes-related care discussed (insulin dosing is referenced in one complaint; the same review alleges no blood tests were performed during the initial visit). - Out-of-hours/on-call availability: one owner reports being told there are no vets on call when they phoned in the evening. ## Reviews Google rating: 4.8 stars from 124 reviews. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Positive outcomes after treatment, including a report of a very sick puppy improving quickly after being seen at short notice. - Multiple positive poultry/chicken cases, with owners describing knowledgeable vets and successful recovery. - Front-desk experience appears inconsistent: one reviewer says the “saving grace” was the nurses and vets while describing a repeatedly difficult receptionist; another review also criticises reception for lack of empathy. - A major negative clinical account involving diabetes care: the owner alleges inadequate assessment (no blood tests), lack of urgent escalation/referral, and no on-call vet when symptoms worsened later that day.

Boithrín Cúng Veterinary Clinic is a small animal practice based on the limited information available. Recent reviews repeatedly describe care for both dogs and cats over multiple years, with owners emphasising an “efficient” service and attentive handling of their pets’ needs. One review mentions a Jack Russell needing life-saving surgery and receiving “excellent care,” but the written review also references a different clinic name, so it’s unclear which clinic that surgery relates to.

The available data doesn’t provide enough evidence to describe this as a veterinary clinic or to explain what pet care it offers. The website information we extracted contains no “about” text, services, species treated, facilities, or emergency-care notes. Google shows a 5‑star rating, but the written review text isn’t available to us, so we can’t say what owners actually experienced beyond the star scores.
