Featured Clinic Overview

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Deise Vets presents itself as a general veterinary clinic aiming to provide “professional, high quality healthcare for all animals,” and it explicitly welcomes new clients. Recent reviewers mostly comment on how straightforward the clinic is to deal with—describing the team as “helpful and reasonable”—and mention friendly staff and vets they consider skilled. Several reviews are very brief (including two that mention “rosé” without any clinical detail), so the written feedback available to us is limited on specific treatments or outcomes.

City Vets presents itself as a veterinary hospital with an experienced vet and nursing team and “up to date skills and facilities” (from its website text). In the latest reviews available to us, owners describe both strong clinical experiences (including vaccinations and thorough checks) and significant concerns about internal communication and continuity of care (e.g., seeing different vets at follow-ups). After-hours care is specifically praised by one reviewer, while several 1-star reviews describe problems such as inconsistent diagnoses, missing test results, and dissatisfaction with pricing.

  • Quick help after hours: more than one review describes calling outside normal hours and the clinic responding rapidly, with a good outcome reported. - Practical, hands-on treatment: a specific example is a vet removing a splinter from a dog’s foot during a visit. - Handling of end-of-life care is disputed: one owner reports being required to pay in advance during euthanasia and found the experience “appalling” and lacking sensitivity.

Tír na Bhó Vets is a small-animal veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated in the information provided) that, based on recent client accounts, regularly handles both routine care (new puppy registrations and general health queries) and urgent problems (same-day assessments, post-op wound concerns, and pain issues). Reviews repeatedly describe practical communication and responsiveness—for example, fitting in urgent cases even when surgery lists are running, phoning owners with updates after drop-off, and talking callers through whether a situation sounds like an emergency.

Comeragh Veterinary is part of the XLVets network (“a network of progressive veterinary practices,” per the site text we could access). Reviews describe the clinic handling both routine and urgent situations, including a bee sting, a car accident, and a dog brought in “for an operation.” Several owners single out calm handling in stressful moments and gentle treatment of nervous pets, while one older review reports a very negative experience when trying to arrange euthanasia for a long-ill dog (described as “irate” and “unsympathetic” on the phone).

Viking Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a first-opinion practice for companion animals, with head vet Miriam and the team available 24/7 (as stated on its website). Reviews commonly reference the clinic handling serious injuries and surgical cases—including a cat with an infected wound that required two surgeries, and a cat hit by a car that was stabilised and operated on the next day (Sunday). Owners also mention clear, reassuring communication and aftercare support with medication in some cases, while a small number of reviews report communication problems and disputed clinical findings (for example, a reported heart murmur later contradicted by another vet).

The Pet Hospital describes itself as a “state of the art” veterinary hospital with dedicated vets, nurses and support staff, and says it has been providing pet care for over 23 years. Recent reviews contain a clear split: many owners report straightforward, well-explained appointments (including explanations of treatment and cost), while a smaller number raise serious concerns about pricing, staff manner, and how specific cases were handled (including allegations of a rabbit dying during handling and a dog deteriorating after an injection). One reviewer specifically compares parasite medication pricing to another practice (€100+ vs €60 for the same tablets).

Reviews are mostly positive, but there is also a recent report of an appointment being refused with advice to find another clinic, which conflicts with other owners’ experiences.
