Dog & Cat Vets in Elphin

## Summary Emlagh Lodge Veterinary Centre is a small-animal practice (dogs and cats are specifically mentioned) with a 4.8-star Google rating from 107 reviews. Recent feedback describes help ranging from routine parasite control (flea treatments) to “serious illness,” with owners highlighting clear explanations of what the vet is doing and why. Several reviews give concrete examples of pets improving after treatment (including prescribed medication “worked a treat” and an older, grumpy yorkie having “a new lease of life” after being seen). ## Services Based on the information available in reviews, the clinic is used for: - General consultations and treatment for illness in cats and dogs (including “serious illness” mentioned by a cat owner). - Parasite control, including flea treatments. - Prescribed medications for dogs (owners report the medication was effective). ## People Named team members mentioned by clients include: - **Packie**: Credited with handling an older yorkie gently even when the dog “can be grumpy,” with the owner reporting the dog had “a new lease of life” after the visit. - **Michaela**: Praised for **explaining what she is going to do** and **what she hopes to achieve**, which the reviewer said helped them feel more positive as an owner. - **Mary, Rebecca, Aisling**: Thanked by name by a multi-cat household for being consistently kind and helpful across visits for both routine needs (flea treatments) and more serious problems. ## Reviews **4.8 stars from 107 reviews.** The available written reviews are largely 5-star and focus on staff interactions and pets improving after treatment, with one 1-star rating shown without written detail. **“Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.”** - Owners describe **effective treatment outcomes**, including medication that “worked a treat” and noticeable improvement after appointments. - **Communication is repeatedly mentioned**, especially vets explaining what they plan to do and the goal of treatment. - **Handling of difficult or nervous pets** comes up, with one example of a vet being kind to a grumpy older dog. - A small number of ratings don’t match the overall positivity (a **1-star review with no text**), so the reason for that low rating isn’t clear from the data available.
