Corry & O'Hare Vets is described in reviews as a multi-species practice (cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs are all explicitly mentioned) and is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Recent reviews point to a clinic that handles both planned procedures and urgent situations: owners mention emergency appointments, neutering of stray/feral cats as part of a scheme, and a fur trim done under anaesthetic. A few specific, decision-relevant details that come up repeatedly: - Support for difficult or stressful situations, including euthanasia with keepsakes provided (lock of fur, paw prints, nose prints). - Ongoing management for chronic conditions: one owner describes at-home insulin injections for a diabetic cat, with the clinic giving them the confidence to do it to reduce vet-visit stress. - Facilities have changed: a “cat quiet room” was praised, but a later update says it’s no longer available after a roof collapse. - Multiple reviewers mention the practice helps wildlife (one review notes they did not hear back about the outcome of a bird they brought in).

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).

Cavehill Veterinary Clinic is part of the Clare Vet Group and is RCVS-accredited (per the clinic website). Reviews describe a practice that handles everyday problems and minor procedures—examples mentioned include same‑day appointments for itchy/sore ears, assessment and treatment for an eye ulcer, and full examinations for multiple pets with “several small procedures” done in the consult. Experiences appear vet-dependent: several owners describe prompt, helpful care, while one review describes feeling judged during an ulcer visit and concerns about treatment and pricing consistency.
