Treats:

Lagan Valley Vets is described by long-term clients as one of the few independent practices they’ve used over many years. The clinic is set up for both routine care and urgent needs, with emergency veterinary services listed and reviews describing prompt out-of-hours advice/examinations, including late at night. Owners also mention pets being kept overnight on the premises (at the practice’s other surgery) and being fitted in the same day when appointments are needed. A recurring downside in reviews is loss of continuity over time due to changes in vets.

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.”

Treats:

Garden Lodge Veterinary Clinic offers general pet veterinary care and mentions emergency care on its website (without specific arrangements described). One review notes the practice is “sistered with Rathgael Vets” (suggesting a linked practice rather than a stand‑alone single site). Recent reviews describe a mix of routine preventive work (a “cat health screen” described as quick, efficient and thorough) and more emotionally difficult appointments (end‑of‑life care for a dog), with owners repeatedly highlighting calm handling and reassurance. One reviewer also describes the team assessing an injured wild bird that wasn’t a typical patient.

The Veterinary Clinic is a mixed practice treating both companion animals and farm/equine species, with on-site facilities for procedures and overnight care (including operations and “sterile vaccinations”). The website also states an emergency service is offered, with appointments handled on a priority basis. Review details most often describe hands-on treatment for injuries and acute illness (for example, care for a dog with a “very nasty wound,” and intensive attempts to treat a cat with a lung infection), plus practical travel requirements such as rabies vaccination and issuing a pet passport. One review reports serious concerns about triage and missed findings (including an allegation of delayed attention to an unresponsive kitten, a misdiagnosis, and a tail injury not identified after an RTA), so experiences appear mixed despite many positive accounts.
