Murphy-Sheerin

Murphy-Sheerin is a six-vet mixed practice (treating pets and farm animals) that’s been operating since 1947. The clinic advertises both routine care and a 24/7 emergency service, with on-site facilities including digital radiography and in-house haematology/biochemistry blood testing. In recent reviews, owners describe straightforward surgical care (including cat neutering) and being accommodated without an appointment, plus vets taking time to explain aftercare—particularly noted after an emergency visit.
