Saintfield Veterinary Clinic describes itself on its website as an independent, primary care practice (part of the Ashwood Vets site) offering both medicine and surgery, including soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. Recent reviews back up that surgical capability with multiple first-hand accounts of dogs undergoing operations (including TPLO surgery) and owners describing thorough aftercare and follow-up advice when needed. Several reviewers also mention urgent/emergency appointments being accommodated and a communication style that includes clear explanations and regular updates by message during a pet’s stay. One cat owner explicitly notes there was “no hard sale” and that a more conservative plan was supported for an elderly cat.

Voy Vet Clinic is described in recent reviews as a first-come, first-seen “open surgery” practice where owners often wait in their cars until called. People use it for both routine problems (for example, a dog’s ear infection treated the same day) and more involved care (one owner mentions their dog being supported through two operations over the years). Reviews repeatedly mention low or “reasonable” pricing for standard visits, alongside frustrations about long waits/queuing and limited phone availability. One reviewer also reports that the emergency number now redirects to a different company they found “extremely expensive,” leading them to wait until Voy reopened instead.

Parkview Veterinary Clinic
Strabane
Our Score (80/100)
Parkview Veterinary Clinic is a general veterinary practice that is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe the team handling a mix of routine and urgent problems (injuries and seizures are both mentioned), with several owners noting clear explanations and careful handling—especially with cats to minimise stress during exams. There is also a recent negative review alleging a misdiagnosis in a dachshund, with the owner saying an MRI later showed the issue had been left too long. Concrete details owners mention include: - Being seen even when the clinic was running late, with staff still fitting the appointment in. - Vets explaining conditions and next steps clearly, according to a long-term cat owner. - Treatment for a dog seizure that an owner felt “fixed” the problem. - Injury checks after a dog was hurt or involved in a road incident (owners describe professional care).

St Elmo Veterinary Clinic
Derry City
Our Score (75/100)
St Elmo Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice established in 2010, offering routine care alongside surgery and in-house diagnostics (including an in-house lab, ultrasound and X‑ray). It also offers out-of-hours support via a shared on-call rota with five practices, with free telephone advice and emergency consultations if needed. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention calm handling during appointments (including for anxious dogs during vaccinations) and helpful front-desk guidance (for example, explaining insurance and health-cover options). However, one reviewer describes a dismissive manner from a vet during an appointment, and another describes a particularly negative out-of-hours phone interaction involving a high-cost surgery estimate and a statement about payment/euthanasia—so experiences appear mixed depending on the interaction and context. Concrete specifics mentioned across sources include: - Vaccinations given with a “thorough” check-up in the same visit (review). - Support for nervous/anxious dogs to reduce stress during exams and injections (review). - Out-of-hours care described as a shared rota with free phone advice (website). - In-house diagnostic capability (in-house lab, ultrasound, X‑ray) (website).
