Dog & Cat Vets in Limerick

Abbey Veterinary is a vet clinic with a Facebook page as its only accessible web presence in our data (no service list was available from the site). Based on reviews, it appears primarily set up for routine small‑animal care, with multiple long‑term clients mentioning ongoing care “for years” and “wonderful advice” for pets. Reviewers also mention prompt service and a fast call‑out, and one long review specifically highlights clean, welcoming facilities. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, but one reviewer reports a serious concern: an alleged misdiagnosis and a 4‑hour delay in receiving medication records requested after a visit.

Rockhall Vets Ennis Road (Rockhall Vets) is set up for routine preventative care and common clinical procedures, with an explicit arrangement for 24/7/365 emergency care via Limerick Night Vets (per the clinic’s own information). Recent reviews repeatedly describe practical steps to reduce pet stress—e.g., clearing the reception area of other dogs for a reactive dog and keeping visits quiet for cats. Owners also mention vaccinations, teeth brushing/cleaning for dogs, and clear aftercare guidance following surgery.

Bourke Vets is a general veterinary practice (no corporate group is mentioned in the available information). Based on recent reviews, owners most often bring dogs for routine care and common procedures, with specific mentions of same-day appointments, dental work, and castration care. Reviews are mostly very positive about access and attentiveness (one owner describes lots of questions being asked and their dog improving after treatment), but there is also a detailed negative account of a post-castration complication where the owner says the issue wasn’t resolved until a second vet drained a haematoma. Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include: - Same-day appointments being available for a dog needing to see a vet. - A named vet (Conor Sloyan) asking “lots of questions” and giving treatment that led to the dog “running around happily.” - Dental work being done for a dog, with the owner reporting a good recovery and “very reasonable” pricing. - One owner reporting a severe post-castration complication (large scrotal haematoma) and dissatisfaction with how it was managed.

Hillside Veterinary Surgery appears to be a small, vet-led practice (no corporate group affiliation is stated in the available information). Based on the latest reviews, it’s set up to handle day-to-day pet healthcare as well as urgent same-day problems: one owner describes being seen on a bank holiday Monday for a dog with a damaged dew claw, and another says they called “a quarter to 6” and were still asked to come in. Owners also repeatedly mention low-stress handling for injections (“pets never notice” and dogs “didn’t even flinch”) and clear explanations of treatment options and likely outcomes.

Michael Deady Veterinary Surgeon is linked via its website to Bruff Veterinary Centre, which describes itself as a mixed animal practice (treating both small and large animals) with 24/7 emergency care. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention out-of-hours help (including being seen late on a Saturday night), house-call support for an end-of-life visit for a large elderly dog, and help with a rescue dog. There is also a serious negative account alleging rudeness and difficulty taking a blood sample, with the owner attributing a poor outcome to that visit.

Newcastle West Pet Vet Clinic states that it runs a 24-hour emergency service, 7 days a week (outside normal appointment hours). Based on the written reviews available, owners most often talk about routine vet visits and grooming: some describe dogs coming home “looking great after a groom” and mention staff “going above and beyond” when a vet visit is needed, while one reviewer reports cuts after grooming on two occasions and says they would not return for grooming. Communication and explanation are also a recurring point—one reviewer specifically mentions the vet explaining next steps and the reasons for them.

Mulcair Vet Clinic provides care for both companion animals and large animals, and the website states a 24-hour emergency service for registered clients (24/7, 365 days a year). Based on the services listed, the clinic is set up for routine preventative care (parasite treatment, microchipping, neutering), diagnostic work-ups (X‑ray and ultrasound), and longer-term support such as weight management plans and dental health checks/health care plans. Reviewers most often mention approachable staff and good communication (including office staff), with one long-term client calling out ongoing treatment planning for a pet with “a few health problems.” There are also mixed experiences across species: one review praises the “horse side” while another reports disappointment with a dog case that needed a second vet.

Curtin Veterinary is described by reviewers as a long-established, independently run clinic (clients mention using them for “the last 20yrs”). Reviews point to a practice set up for both routine appointments and cases needing procedures/operations, with an in-clinic recovery area (clean, comfortable cages mentioned). Owners repeatedly highlight handling of difficult-to-manage dogs with “patience and skill,” and say they can go in for routine checkups, health concerns, and “friendly advice.” Concrete specifics mentioned: - A “well equipped clinic” with facilities to handle “any pet problem” (as stated by a long-term client). - A dedicated recovery area with cages for pets after treatment or an operation. - Ongoing support across routine checkups and illness/health concerns. - Care for a dog that “isn’t always the easiest patient,” handled patiently each visit.
