Tír na Bhó Vets

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.
