They are not good and professional about cats, maybe big animals. For rare type or small cats they just not get that much experience. Got Briarhill Veterinary Clinic if you needs treatment for cats, they rescued plenty cats and treated lots of cats.

The compassion and understanding of the vet was amazing. I was reassured with the advice I was given. I highly recommend them.

Great vets every time I got for my cats. Best vets i’ve been to in Galway. My cat has recurring cystitis and they’re always very quick to provide an appointment. When I go there, they’re very efficient but care about animals. Only recommendation would be to have separate waiting rooms for cats and dogs :)

I had a really bad experience here in 2023. My dog had an open pyometra and I was aware of it as I studied animal care. We were viewed first thing in the morning by the older male vet with glasses and beard. He practically gave out to me as my dog obviously wasn’t nurtured and told me she was going to pass away and it was my fault. I asked if I could get a surgery date as I know it’s a life or death situation and he told me no and said she has to be on medication for two weeks and then get a surgery and if she survived it. I walked out balling my eyes out and knew it wasn’t right with the dog handed back to me all bloody from the infection leaking out of her I was traumatised. I called Oran vets the next day and explained the situation and they viewed her and she got surgery straight away and she’s still alive and well now and it’s been nearly 2 years even when she was viewed for bloods they gave her back to me and cleaned her up . If I didn’t know anything about dogs or infections in general my dog who is 13 now wouldn’t be here with me today. The vet was very rude and blunt I explained I got the dog when I was 11 years old and my parent’s weren’t educated on dogs but he proceeded to blame me and told me my dog wouldn’t make it. A very traumatic experience in general and I won’t be returning there. Oran vets didn’t even talk about medication it was a operation straight away which how it should be done and not have the dog put on medication for two week and if it survives great if not oh well.. in the photo that’s her after her surgery alive and well and healthy.

Great care, great value. Personal service not like a corporate vets which others have migrated to.
