Castle Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the available information, it appears set up for both routine appointments and more complex medical and surgical cases: reviewers describe diagnosis and successful surgery for a splenic mass following a vestibular event, and inpatient hospital care for a seriously ill cat with owner visits allowed. Communication and decision-making support are repeatedly mentioned (for example, a vet taking time to answer questions so owners could make an informed decision), alongside a long-term relationship with some clients over many years. One recent review describes a serious administrative and wait-time failure (an appointment not recorded and a long wait for a vaccination), which contrasts with the otherwise strongly positive feedback.

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 Oaks Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice where recent reviewers most often describe straightforward consult-based care: focused examinations, clear advice, and problems being diagnosed quickly. In the latest reviews available to us, owners specifically mention a vet who was “focussed on the issue at hand” and gave “honest and valuable advice,” plus thorough re-checking of long-term conditions alongside a new problem. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Switching to this practice after feeling a previous vet “prioritise profits over pet health,” and finding the consultation advice more “honest.” - A new issue being diagnosed quickly during a visit. - A long-term, ongoing problem being checked over thoroughly to confirm the pet’s care plan. - Staff described as “friendly and welcoming,” with experiences described as consistent over repeat visits.

Ace Vets Donaghdee is part of Ace Vets, described on its website as an independent veterinary clinic group with multiple branches. Based on the website and reviews, it appears set up for routine care (vaccinations, microchipping, dental) as well as surgical and diagnostic work (imaging mentioned), with emergency care also stated as available. Owners most often mention: - Being fitted in quickly when worried about a dog, with follow-up after the visit (one reviewer says they were “fitted in straight away” and received follow-up). - The team accommodating reactive dogs. - A clear negative around insurance/admin handling, including a dispute involving notes on a pet’s file and a £600 bill (the reviewer states this is not about clinical care).

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.

Peninsula Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice where reviews repeatedly describe being fitted in at short notice and getting practical treatment for urgent problems. Owners mention last‑minute appointments (for example, a torn dew claw) with “immediate care,” and support during serious illness (including near-daily care during a pyometra case). Several reviews also describe the team’s help during end‑of‑life situations, with owners noting both pet care and support for the family. A vet named Michael is singled out across multiple years of reviews, alongside reception staff who are described as helpful.

KR Equine Veterinary Services LTD appears to be an equine-focused veterinary provider (as indicated by the business name and the website/email domain referencing an “equine clinic”). Beyond that, the available information is limited: we don’t have a website summary or any written review text to describe the clinic’s facilities, approach, or specific case types handled. Google shows a 4★ rating, but the review data we received is inconsistent (see Reviews).
