Michael Deady Veterinary Surgeon

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.
