Patrick Grant T/A The Sheep Vet

Patrick Grant T/A The Sheep Vet is described on its website as a specialised sheep-health and advanced fertility veterinary service set up by Patrick Grant (MRCVS). The site lists hands-on reproductive work such as laparoscopic artificial insemination and embryo transfer, plus flock-level health planning and disease control.

The latest reviews available to us, however, largely describe treatment for small dogs (including urgent end-of-day appointments, orthopaedic surgery for a knee/ligament issue, and aftercare guidance). One review also refers to “Glengormley Vets” and names a receptionist, suggesting some mismatch between the sheep-focused service described on the website and the companion-animal experiences described in reviews.

Concrete examples mentioned in reviews include

• •Being asked to come in when calling shortly before closing time due to concern about a small dog.
• •Aftercare education being provided after treatment.
• •A knee/ligament operation on a small dog, with recovery expectations discussed.
