## Summary Teeling Veterinary Clinic appears to be an independent practice (no corporate group is mentioned on its website or in the available reviews). The clinic is set up for day-to-day preventative care as well as urgent and out-of-hours problems, with stated 24/7 emergency cover and in-house diagnostics (digital X‑ray, ultrasound, blood chemistry analysis) plus dental and hospitalisation facilities. Concrete examples from recent reviews include treatment for an ingrown toenail causing pain, a very sick kitten seen on New Year’s Eve, and post-neutering care where an owner reports their dog went home “clean” with no obvious signs after the procedure. Several reviewers also mention the team trying to accommodate requests and provide help quickly when needed. ## Services Based on the clinic website and the latest reviews available to us, services and capabilities mentioned include: - Preventative healthcare - Emergency care, including an out-of-hours emergency service stated as available 24/7, 365 days a year - Diagnostics and monitoring: digital X‑ray, ultrasound scanning, blood chemistry analysis - Anaesthesia: gas anaesthetic (listed as a facility) - Dentistry: dental machine (procedures aren’t specified, but dental capability is advertised) - Hospitalisation facilities - Cat boarding facility - Parasite prevention products (fleas, worms and ticks) and dog food/products (sold at the clinic) Species: the website states small animals. Reviews mention care for dogs and a kitten, plus one reviewer says their bearded dragon relaxed during the visit, and another claims they help with “pets, cattle or any animals”—which conflicts with the website’s “small animals” focus. ## People Named team members listed on the clinic website: - Eddie Henry (veterinary surgeon) - Niamh Lee (veterinary surgeon) - John Robinson (veterinary surgeon) - Neville Bourke (veterinary surgeon) - Natasha McEnroy (veterinary nurse) - Laura Quinn (receptionist) - Lisa Finnegan (receptionist) What clients specifically highlight in reviews: - Eddie is mentioned by name in relation to two visits (a sick kitten on New Year’s Eve and an elderly dog), with the owner noting he “really listens” and is “very good with the animals.” - Nurses are described as “very gentle and kind” during treatment for a painful ingrown toenail. - Multiple reviewers describe the team as accommodating—for example, “will try everything to accommodate [a] client request.” ## Reviews Google rating: 4.9 stars from 64 reviews. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Owners describe staff being gentle with animals during uncomfortable problems (e.g., handling a dog in pain from an ingrown toenail). - Several reviews mention responsiveness and flexibility, including efforts to accommodate requests and provide help “asap.” - Specific clinical situations referenced include a very sick kitten seen on New Year’s Eve, an elderly dog visit, and a dog’s neutering with an owner reporting a smooth return home afterward. - Pricing is only commented on in general terms: one reviewer says the cost of treatment was “reasonable” (no figures given).

Inishfree Veterinary Hospital describes itself as a long-established pet hospital (opened in 1981) offering care across a pet’s lifetime and accepting referrals from other practices (group ownership not stated). Based on the website and reviews, it appears set up for both routine work-ups and more involved medical/surgical cases, with in-house diagnostics mentioned (radiography, ultrasound, lab, ECG) and a “hospital” service. Concrete examples from recent and older reviews include: getting an appointment within an hour for an injured budgie and providing cleaning/sterilisation; treating an out-of-hours cat emergency (pain relief at 9pm) followed by x‑ray and surgery for a fractured jaw; and providing euthanasia support described as sympathetic. One review alleges unethical overcharging and an inaccurate late-pregnancy ultrasound result; this conflicts with multiple reviews describing prompt, professional help.

Ballygawley Veterinary Clinic appears to be a single-practice clinic (no corporate group mentioned in the available data). Based on the latest reviews, owners most often mention routine small-animal care and procedures such as dog neutering, plus the ability to be seen at short notice when pets are unwell. Specific examples include a reviewer describing their pup being neutered and the clinic being “spotlessly clean,” and multiple owners saying Sabine explains options (“what should be done versus what can be done”) rather than pushing one route.

St Benedicts Veterinary Hospital appears to offer both routine appointments and out-of-hours help, with multiple reviews describing staff meeting owners at the clinic late at night or on a Sunday during severe weather. Reviews include specific examples of a “wait and see” second opinion (after reviewing prior reports and advising no further treatment for a cat) and urgent assessment/treatment for a dog that became unwell after ingesting sand. Experiences are mixed: several owners describe calm, practical explanations and reasonable pricing, while a couple of reviews describe very negative encounters, including one that simply says “Avoid” and another alleging rude handling during an implant visit.

Meadowsweet Veterinary Practice appears to handle both routine appointments and urgent, out-of-hours situations, based on multiple reviews describing late-night and Sunday call-outs. Ownership/group status isn’t stated in the information provided. Concrete examples from recent reviews include: - An out-of-hours consult “past midnight” where a vet examined a dog that had swallowed sand, gave medication, and advice, with the owner reporting improvement afterwards. - A second-opinion review where the vet reviewed existing reports for a cat, advised a “wait and see” approach, and the owner says no further treatment was needed. - End-of-life support for a very unwell cat, where options (including euthanasia) were explained during a Sunday storm, according to one review. There are also conflicting experiences: alongside many positive reports, at least two 1‑star reviews describe dissatisfaction (one with no detail, and one describing rude handling during an implant visit).

Raheen Veterinary Practice is run by Evi Stabler, a veterinary surgeon in mixed practice since 1993. The clinic describes a mix of farm-animal and domestic-pet work, with a clear emphasis on on-farm services (herd testing, fertility work, dairy herd care) alongside small-animal care. A distinctive offering is veterinary acupuncture: Evi Stabler completed an IVAS veterinary acupuncture course in Brussels (2014) and provides acupuncture for both small and large animals. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention a kind, considerate manner, and one owner specifically reports their dog having acupuncture over several months with noticeable improvement.

Animal Health Care is a veterinary clinic that (based on owner reports) handles both pets and farm animals, including acute “very sick” cases. Reviewers describe being seen without an appointment for an unwell dog, and one owner says the team arranged to collect their puppy when transport was a problem.

Concrete examples mentioned by owners include: - Seeing and treating a very sick dog when the owner had no appointment. - Staff reassurance during a stressful visit with an unwell pet. - Collection/transport help for a puppy during treatment. - Long-term care for “farm animals and pets” over “30+ years” (as reported by one reviewer).
