Riverside Veterinary Hospital is a small-animal practice that reviewers describe using for urgent, out-of-hours help as well as routine visits. Recent reviews include multiple examples of fast response after hours (one owner credits the team with acting quickly and their dog “healthy and happy” afterwards) and straightforward minor procedures (a vet named Ciara finding and removing a tiny splinter from a dog’s foot). There are also two serious negative accounts: one alleges a poor examination and an attempted cancer “cure” when the owner believed the issue was anal gland inflammation, and another describes a distressing euthanasia experience where payment was required in advance, leaving the owner feeling the process lacked sensitivity.

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. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - Vaccinations delivered alongside a “thorough check” with time taken to settle a cat (review mentions a vet taking time to get to know the pet). - After-hours service described as “top of the range” with a “seamless process.” - Repeated complaints about poor follow-up and staff-to-staff handover (owners reporting they had to re-explain prior conversations). - Allegations of errors/handling issues (e.g., expired medication given, “lost” blood results, a stool sample not stored in a fridge) and sharply differing assessments of the same problem across multiple visits.

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).

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. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Surgery days are scheduled (one reviewer was told Thursdays are for surgeries), but the clinic still squeezed in an urgent case via a drop-off and later call-back with treatment and medication. - Post-operative aftercare support, including stitch removal, wound checks, an anti-inflammatory injection, and sending home topical ointment. - Time spent on questions at new-puppy appointments, with owners noting their puppy left relaxed/happy. - Reassurance and triage advice by phone for a coughing dog with a known heart murmur, with clear guidance on next steps.

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 website also notes a large yard outside the building for parking.

Ani-Pets Veterinary Clinic’s ownership/group status isn’t stated in the information available to us. Based on reviews, the clinic is set up to handle both routine appointments and more serious cases that need in-clinic monitoring: one owner describes their dog being kept in for 2 nights and 3 days for pancreatitis, with an overnight nurse watching the dog each night and regular phone updates from the vet. Another review mentions an emergency vet visit where the vet helped calm the owners while treating their pet. 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.
