Thomas A Glynn Veterinary Practice – Vets in Ahascragh
Clinic Overview
Thomas A Glynn Veterinary Practice is described in reviews as offering “personal service,” with one owner explicitly contrasting it with “corporate vets.” Based on recent feedback, the practice appears set up for both routine preventive care and sick/urgent cases, with multiple mentions of quick appointment availability and phone updates during treatment.
Concrete specifics owners mention include
- •Routine care such as scheduled vaccinations (“shots”) and neutering.
- •Management of ongoing issues (one cat with recurring cystitis, with appointments arranged quickly).
- •Phone communication during treatment (one owner says they were kept informed “on all steps” and things were explained clearly).
- •Administrative support for pet insurance claim forms being completed promptly.
Reviews also include a serious negative account involving a dog with open pyometra, where the owner reports being advised to delay surgery and describes the interaction as blunt and distressing—this conflicts with other reviews describing compassion and reassurance.

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.

I have used Glenina for many years for scheduled shots, neutering etc for my dog and always experienced a caring and efficient service. My dog was sick recently and this was my first time witnessing the illness treatment side of their service. My dog's care was attended to by Ronad who I have to say was amazing. She kept me informed by phone on all steps of my pet's treatment and took her time to explain everything clearly. I dealt with the admin side of the team also who completed my insurance claim form in an efficient and timely fashion. Well done!
