Best Vets in Armagh City – Complete Local Guide

Armagh Vet Station is an independently owned, family-run veterinary clinic that says it invests in advanced diagnostics and tailored care plans. Recent reviews consistently mention fast access when a pet is unwell (including being fitted in the same evening after a phone call), a notably calm clinic atmosphere for nervous animals, and vets who take time to explain options and answer questions. Vaccinations and end-of-life care are specifically referenced in owner experiences.

Willow Veterinary Group Ltd is a general veterinary practice offering routine preventative care alongside in-practice treatment and minor procedures (including wound stitching and cherry eye surgery mentioned in reviews). Owners describe being able to get seen quickly for an unwell puppy (“appointment within 2 hours”) and mention late-night availability. Reviews also include a serious complaint about a cherry eye operation (described as incorrectly stitched, leading to an abscess and additional check-up cost) alongside multiple accounts of compassionate support for very ill pets and end-of-life care. Ownership/group affiliation isn’t stated in the information provided.

Orchard Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, four‑vet practice treating companion animals, equine, and farm species, and states it offers a 24‑hour emergency service. Recent reviews mention same/last‑minute appointments, overnight hospitalisation, and surgery, including an emergency C‑section and another case kept in overnight with surgery the next morning. Feedback is mixed: several owners describe urgent care and successful outcomes, while a few 1‑star reviews describe serious concerns about treatment quality and communication during emergencies.

Greenmount Veterinary Clinic also operates as VetOrtho Referrals, focusing on orthopaedic and spinal referral work for cats and dogs. The website highlights fracture repair as a frequent procedure and treats spinal disc prolapse (“slipped disc”) as urgent priority cases, with rapid progression to imaging and decompressive surgery, followed by nursing and physiotherapy support. Reviews add two strong signals: owners describe successful spinal surgery outcomes (including one case where “Ewing” reportedly avoided over £2k in MRI fees), and multiple owners mention kind, careful support during euthanasia—while a minority report front-desk rudeness and a large price change between an initial estimate and booking.

Armadale NI Ltd is a veterinary practice that is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for a mix of routine care and surgical/urgent cases: owners mention puppy vaccinations, pyometra surgery, and at least one urgent call-out on a public holiday where a vet attended the clinic to treat a cat. Feedback is mixed. Several owners describe clear explanations and compassionate end-of-life care (including helping a long-term client say goodbye “with dignity and compassion”). However, a small number of reviews report serious concerns about post-procedure wound handling and aftercare advice (including a cat whose wound reportedly re-opened after stitches were removed), and one vaccination visit where the vet was described as having poor bedside manner.
