Clinic Overview
Oran Veterinary Clinic is a companion-animal practice (no corporate group mentioned) offering routine care alongside in-clinic diagnostics and surgery. The website lists services including vaccinations, microchipping, neutering, soft-tissue surgery, dentistry, medical investigations, dermatology, X‑rays and blood tests. In reviews, owners most often mention clear explanations during consultations, good record-keeping with paperwork provided, and at least one case of being seen out-of-hours quickly for a worried cat—while one recent reviewer alleges the clinic is “all about money,” creating a direct conflict with the many comments describing welfare-focused care.

Wouldn't recommend, just all about money and not welfare of pet.

I cannot recommend this veterinary clinic highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making both my pet and me feel completely at ease. The genuine care they show for animals is evident in every interaction. The veterinary team is exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive. They took the time to explain every step of the examination and treatment process clearly, answering all my questions with patience and thoroughness. I felt fully informed and confident in the care my pet was receiving. It's a really nice place to take your pet—the facilities are clean, well-maintained, and they clearly prioritize a calm environment, which significantly reduces stress for the animals.

Everybody that works here that I've dealt with is absolutely lovely. The support staff is welcoming and well informed. The vets are excellent with animals, knowledgable and provide ample information on their methods and reasoning. Special shout-out to Martin for being the loveliest person to deal with during stressful times for both our cats and ourselves.

I've been taking my two cats once or twice a year since 2021 and I'm very happy with them. Always checking that everything is up to date since they record everything and give you the paperwork as well. Nice guys, the vets and in recepcion, always with a smile and very considerate of your beloved animals, taking care of them and explaining everything very well and with no rush at all. In short, a great veterinarian you can trust.

Amazing and caring service, was seen out of hours in minutes when we thought we had a serious issue with our cat Cloudy. So reassuring knowing there is a team of experts there if you are ever in need.Thanks so much to Martin who handled everything and gave us peace of mind.

Another visit to Oran vets clinic on the Saturday before Xmas with my 2 elderly Labradors to renew their Rabies jabs and update their pet passports. As always great service and always a smile from the lovely staff and Vet. We will continue to use Oranmore vets whenever we are in Ireland. Always happy to recommend to family and friends. Thanks again.

Brilliant place, took such good care of my little kitty when he was being neutered and when he was getting his shots... took him out of his pain almost immediately when he was suffering badly from a cat bite abscess on his leg ... thanks to the guys in Oran Veterinary Clinic I have a very happy and healthy cat 💖💖
