Farm & Large-Animal Vets in Limerick

Allpaws Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, family-run practice for family pets. Based on its own service list and recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine care (like vaccinations and neutering) and more complex surgery/orthopaedics (including “fixing broken bones,” “complicated joint surgeries,” and a BOAS surgery mentioned by an owner). Recent reviewers repeatedly describe specific staff members (Tim, Liz, Dr. Danniell) handling nervous animals calmly, answering questions in detail, and providing support in end‑of‑life situations (including a memorial card).

Hospital Veterinary Centre is a small-animal veterinary practice based on what reviewers describe (dogs and puppies are specifically mentioned). The clearest operational signal from reviews is responsiveness to urgent queries: one owner reports phoning on a Sunday lunchtime about a dog choking and says John returned the call within five minutes. Several reviews also mention staff giving treats and being kind to a puppy during a visit.

Feedback is not uniformly positive: one reviewer alleges the clinic “scuffed” two appointments, refused to take responsibility, and describes a difficult phone follow-up with Emma after speaking to reception.

Waterside Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice with a 4.9★ Google rating (43 reviews). Based on the information available, it sees dogs and cats and is also used for smaller/exotic pets (a guinea pig and a leopard gecko are specifically mentioned). Reviews describe both planned care (microchipping; surgery with “exceptional” aftercare) and urgent visits (an emergency appointment for a Rottweiler). One reviewer also notes the vet contacted another vet/breeder for tips when treating a leopard gecko.

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.

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.”

• •Staff “always have time to talk” and have “looked after my pets for years.”
• •Facilities described as clean and welcoming.
