Moran Court Veterinary Clinic

Moran Court Veterinary Clinic is a long-established practice (the website says it was established 42 years ago) offering both small-pet and large-animal work. The site highlights in-house diagnostic, laboratory, and dental equipment, and owners’ recent reviews repeatedly mention thorough case work-ups and calm handling—especially by a vet named Linda. One review describes a dog initially given “three days to live” elsewhere, where Linda “went through every test…checked every detail,” and then referred the case to a neighbouring referral clinic. Reviews also include an emergency visit for an elderly dog, and another notes a full exam for a pug.

There is also a clear negative account: one reviewer reports being asked for €30 for antibiotics for an injured wild bird, and says they were later told by a wildlife rescue that vets are obliged to help wild animals (the clinic’s response is not available in the inputs).

People

• •Linda (vet): Mentioned multiple times for detailed work-ups (“went through every test…checked every detail”), not rushing, and compassionate handling. One owner says their dog—who usually hates vet visits—now “happily walks in the door,” suggesting low-stress handling in that case. Another review credits Linda and staff during an emergency visit with an elderly dog.
• •Francisco (at a neighbouring referral clinic): Mentioned positively in one review after Moran Court referred the case next door; the review describes him as “amazing” (his role and employer are not specified beyond “referral clinic”).
