## Summary Kinnegad Veterinary is a general veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated) that reviewers describe using for both routine care and urgent same-day issues. Recent reviews repeatedly mention the clinic “making space” for dogs with sudden problems like bee stings and allergic reactions, and being accommodating with appointment scheduling. Several owners also highlight problem-solving for ongoing conditions—one review describes a cat with severe allergies being diagnosed in a single visit after 18 months of trying other vets, with the cat doing well months later. One low-rated review raises a cleanliness concern (“blood, fur, and dirt”), which conflicts with the largely positive feedback. ## Services Based on the latest reviews available to us, owners mention: - Assessment and treatment for allergic reactions (including bee stings) and longer-term allergy cases (including severe feline allergies) - Injury/trauma appointments (a cat brought back for an injury and treated with “care and understanding”) - New pet registration and “full check over,” with time for questions from first-time/new-pet owners - Neutering/spay planning (pets “booked in to be spayed”) - Rapid access/short-notice appointments (next-day appointment reported; also “makes space” for urgent cases) ## People - **Carol Anne (vet, as described by a reviewer):** Credited with diagnosing a cat’s severe allergies in one visit after the owner had spent 18 months and significant money elsewhere; the same reviewer also returned later for an injury and described the care as “incredible.” - **Staff/vet team (not individually named in most reviews):** Multiple reviews mention gentle handling and being helpful with questions (especially for newly registered pets), plus accommodating appointment scheduling and seeing pets quickly on arrival. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.9 stars from 154 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - Fast access is a repeated theme: next-day appointments and making space for urgent walk-in-type issues (bee stings/allergic reactions) are specifically mentioned. - Several owners describe clear problem-solving and follow-through for allergies (including one case described as resolved after a single visit, with improvement lasting months). - Routine “new pet” checks and guidance are called out (full check-over and answering questions; spay booking mentioned). - One recent negative review reports cleanliness issues (“blood, fur, and dirt”), which stands out against otherwise very positive comments about the practice.
