Riverside Veterinary Hospital

- 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.

This place is ajoke - vet wanted to "cure" none existing cancer of our dog, who actually had obvious inflammation of the anal glands. He didn't even properly examined a dog. Looks like they are able to injury a dog, just for making some money of it.

Called after hours since our normal vet did have a 24hr service. Riverside vets were so amazing and acted quick. Philly is healthy and happy all down to this practice. Best in dungarvan.

Traveling in Ireland our little dog Ruby developed an issue with one of her feet. Ciara quickly found and removed a tiny splinter. Ciara was friendly and thorough. Very happy with the treatment we received.

Very poor service from this practice, had to have my dog euthanized recently, Vet insisted on being paid in advance, Vet refused my offer to pay the charge afterwards so l had to leave my dog at such a critical period in a strange room with 3 people she never saw before and pay the fee. An appalling experience throughout. I write this review in the hope that changes can be made within the practice to show a degree of sensitivity and compassion in such cases. l wouldn't recommend Riverside Veterinary practice.
