O'Leary Collins Vets – Vets in Caherciveen
Clinic Overview
O'Leary Collins Vets is a small-animal practice (cats and dogs are specifically mentioned in reviews) where owners report a mix of very positive and very negative experiences. On the positive side, recent reviews describe rapid treatment for a serious cat tail injury, ongoing monitoring of a dog’s long-term conditions, and supportive end-of-life care where a vet named Maurice was present to help a dog “drift off peaceful.” On the negative side, several reviewers allege serious clinical and process failings—such as being given the wrong dosage of deworming medication, delays or refusal around running tests (with blood work only done after being demanded), and poor communication while a pet’s condition worsened.

I can’t thank the team enough for the exceptional care they gave my cat after he suffered a serious tail injury. From the moment I arrived, they showed incredible empathy, professionalism, and attention to detail. Their quick action made all the difference, and they treated me and my cat with such gentleness and genuine concern throughout his recovery. It’s clear they truly care about their patients and go above and beyond in every way. I’m so grateful for the outstanding service and compassion I received — highly recommend to any pet owner looking for trustworthy and skilled veterinary care.

These murderers simply appeal every negative comment! You won't find any specialists at this company, so don't trust them with your animals!

The vets at this clinic are highly trained and passionate about animals, the young local girl who took care of my dog showed great passion and care for him. She was gentle and careful with my dog it was lovely to see a stranger care about him.

For the fourth day we have been waiting for what will happen to our beloved pet, after contacting this clinic for treatment. But the doctors are so incompetent that a day later they took the puppy home in a terrible condition! Lost time, torment of the baby, our painful wait - this is the result of contacting this veterinary clinic!

Stay away – this “clinic” is a death trap for pets! They sold me the wrong dosage of deworming pills TWICE, which could have been lethally toxic for my tiny dog. Then they falsified the client records, writing that my dog was “absolutely normal” — a complete lie! They didn’t take a single test. The woman at reception has no idea where she works or that she is dealing with living beings. The so-called “doctors” don’t do their jobs, and the entire staff is utterly incompetent — just sitting there, staring blankly, doing nothing while my dog was getting worse inside their clinic. This place made my dog’s condition worse, not better. Protect your family members — NEVER set foot in this clinic!

Don’t go there if you want your pet to be healthy or even alive! My friend’s dog is fighting for her life because of staff incompetence. They overdosed little puppy with wrong drugs, admitted that it could potentially kill her. The only treatment was an IV, no blood work until we demanded it! We are still waiting for them to send us the results. Dog is really weak and she’s on her way to another clinic, where hopefully that damage can be fixed. Really stay away from this place. If your pet was here and got better, you are truly the lucky one.
