Best Vets in Banbridge – Complete Local Guide

Pride Rock Vets is a family-run small-animal veterinary clinic. The website describes a modern clinic with the latest diagnostics. In the latest reviews, owners most often mention gentle handling for nervous dogs, a clean clinic, and support through end-of-life care (PTS), with specific staff members named for their help. Concrete examples owners mention include cat vaccinations, staff taking time to help an anxious Husky feel comfortable, and long-term care for a dog over “years” including being put to sleep at age 14.

Banbridge Pet Vets is a small-animal practice that is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Reviews describe the clinic as able to see new patients quickly (including same-day appointments on the day of registration) and to help with second-opinion cases, including a senior dog that an owner felt was “properly diagnosed” and treated promptly. Owners also mention fast test results and staff taking time to answer lots of questions. Experiences are mostly very positive, but there is one detailed account describing an appointment with a different vet as abrupt and not a thorough check, especially for a stressed cat in a dog-filled waiting area.

Tullyraine Equine Clinic LLP is an equine-focused veterinary clinic with emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours stated in the clinic data). Based on the written reviews available, it’s used for both planned care (for example, equine dental work) and more serious cases that may involve hospitalisation and end-of-life support. Owners repeatedly mention vets explaining what’s happening “step by step,” progress updates by phone while a horse is an inpatient, and staff staying beyond normal closing time so an owner could be present to say goodbye.

Iveagh Veterinary Services is a long-established practice (over 60 years, per its website) treating both pets and farm animals. The clinic states it provides 24-hour emergency treatment for registered clients, and also offers routine care, repeat prescriptions, plus “puppy pack” and “kitten pack” specials. From the latest reviews available, owners most often describe clear, up-front explanations before procedures, detailed aftercare guidance, and specific hands-on outcomes such as dental tooth removal, spay/neuter and microchipping (“snip & chip”), and support around end-of-life care.

Shanaghan Veterinary Services focuses on horses and describes itself as an integrated veterinary referral service with a holistic approach to equine medicine, welfare, and rehabilitation. The website highlights hands-on musculoskeletal and rehab-style care (e.g., acupuncture, chiropractic work, laser treatment, and clinical rehabilitation), alongside equine dentistry. The small amount of written review detail available is consistent and outcome-focused—one owner repeats that the practice “always keeps our ponies right.”
