If you are looking for a vet team that genuinely cares, look no further than Kilcoyne & Barnes. Surgery for a senior dog is always nerve-wracking, but when an urgent dental issue came up, they accommodated us immediately. A huge thank you to Grainne on reception, who was so welcoming and attentive—she recognized that my pup was an Amstaff right away, whereas every recent vet we've seen constantly classes him as a Staffy! That level of attention to detail set the tone for the whole visit. The procedure was explained to me clearly, my baby was treated with extraordinary patience, and they delivered top-notch care. I am so grateful for their quick response and wonderful service! This has been the best experience I have had with a vet in years. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I'd like to thank you so much, and I can't recommend you highly enough. From the very beginning, the lady working at the front desk treated us with great respect, taking our Ozzy's situation seriously. At the clinic, we were greeted by our vet, Claire, who is incredibly warm, empathetic, and patient. She listened to us, taking our concerns about our dog's condition seriously. Claire has an incredibly gentle and caring approach, for which we are very grateful. She explained Ozzy's treatment options right from the start. I'm incredibly grateful. Ozzy was treated with such care. Thank you for your quick action! Thank you!!! Finally, we were touched by Ozzy's dressing—which only speaks volumes about how Claire took care of Ozzy. Thank you so much!!!💕💕💕

I can only say good things about this veterinary practice. They really do take time to get to know your animals and give a good consultation. Katie was exceptional when we were trying to figure out why our collie was having sudden weight loss. They've been there for our dogs, our cats and now our chickens. The reception staff are great, too. Thank you all for your patience, help and advice.

Thank you to Kilcoyne and Barnes vets for their professionalism and empathy in caring for our old dog Indie. They were kind enough to call to our house and put Indie to sleep. It ment a lot to us to not have him stressed in his final hours. Thank you. 🙏
