Farm Vets in Dingle

## Summary Veterinary Clinic Dingle is a general veterinary practice that, based on reviews, regularly handles urgent cases and surgery as well as routine consultations. Multiple owners describe rapid response for emergencies (including a late-Sunday call leading to the pet being seen and admitted within about an hour) and clear updates during an in-clinic stay after emergency surgery. Reviews also include a sharp negative account alleging rough handling during a neck-vein blood draw (bruising), a missed ear problem that was treated only with cotton-bud cleaning, and a feeling of being rushed through a short appointment—so experiences appear mixed depending on the clinician seen. ## Services Services and situations specifically mentioned in the available information include: - **Emergency care/out-of-hours response** (one review describes being seen late on a Sunday after a serious dog attack, with immediate phone response and admission within ~1 hour). - **Surgery**, including **emergency surgery** with the pet staying in the clinic during recovery. - **Injury treatment** after an animal attack. - **Blood sampling** (from the neck vein, as described in a review). - **Ear care** (ear cleaning was mentioned; one reviewer felt an underlying ear issue was missed). ## People Named staff members are thanked in one review: **Eileen, Claire, Olivia, Brendan and Ursula** (roles not specified), in the context of supporting a dog through emergency surgery and recovery, with the owner highlighting that the team was *informative during the stay*. A separate reviewer criticises a **“junior veterinary doctor”** (not named), alleging poor attitude, rushed appointments, bruising after blood was taken, and missing an ear issue. ## Reviews **4.9 stars from 53 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Fast emergency response:** one owner describes immediate phone help and being seen late on a Sunday, with their injured dog taken in within about an hour. - **Surgery and inpatient communication:** an owner whose dog had emergency surgery says the team kept them informed during the stay and that recovery went well. - **Going “above and beyond”:** one review describes the vets doing more than expected on the day. - **A notable negative experience:** one reviewer reports bruising after a neck-vein blood draw, dissatisfaction with ear treatment (described as cotton-bud cleaning), feeling rushed through a short appointment, and finding costs “sky high,” while another owner reports the opposite impression on cost (cheap compared with the UK).

## Summary Only the clinic name (“Patrick O’Connor”) was provided in the available data. No website summary, service list, pricing details, or written reviews were included, so we can’t reliably describe what the practice is set up for (e.g., routine care vs. surgery/emergencies), whether it’s independent or part of a corporate group, or what pet owners commonly mention about their experience.
