Top-rated veterinary clinics in Waterford
There are 2 veterinary clinics in Waterford, with an average Google rating of 4.7★. Both clinics treat dogs and cats, while none offer farm or large-animal services. Neither clinic offers emergency or out-of-hours care, and there is no 24-hour veterinary cover available locally. Both clinics have a significant online presence, each with a website, and together they have accumulated a total of 1072 reviews. The clinics focus primarily on routine care, surgery, diagnostics, and dental services. Given the absence of emergency services and veterinary nurse training, local pet owners should plan routine visits accordingly. The town's veterinary landscape is primarily suited for companion-animal care, and while the clinics are well-rated, the lack of emergency services means that care is concentrated among a smaller number of providers.

Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
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).
