Farm Vets in Kenmare

## Summary The Local Vet is a small practice best evidenced as providing general consultations and urgent care, including at least one reported out-of-hours emergency visit. Recent reviews describe rapid improvement after treatment for an acutely unwell dog, while an older review reports being turned away for surgical care and for a very large dog—suggesting limits on what the clinic can handle in-house for some cases. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Out-of-hours emergency assistance for a dog (“saw us out of hours as an emergency”). - Treatment for a very sick dog after eating fish, which the owner says “immediately resolved the condition.” - A claim (from an older negative review) that the clinic “doesn’t do surgical procedures” and “doesn’t treat giant dogs.” ## Services Services and capabilities explicitly referenced by owners: - **Urgent / emergency care:** one reviewer reports being seen **out of hours as an emergency**. - **General illness treatment:** treatment for an acutely ill dog after eating fish, with reported rapid response. - **Possible limits to services:** one older reviewer states the clinic **doesn’t do surgical procedures** and **doesn’t treat giant dogs** (no additional details provided). ## People - **Dr. Jack (vet):** credited in a review with treating a very sick dog (after eating fish) where the owner says the condition was resolved immediately after his treatment. - **Brendan:** mentioned by name in an out-of-hours emergency review; described as “patient and gentle” during the visit. ## Reviews **4.8 stars from 33 reviews.** Feedback is mostly brief, with a few specific accounts of urgent care and treatment outcomes. **“Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.”** - **Out-of-hours help is mentioned:** one owner says they were seen out of hours for an emergency and appreciated the patient, gentle handling. - **Strong outcome in an acute sickness case:** one owner reports their dog improved immediately after treatment for illness linked to eating fish (and contrasts this with an earlier vet visit that “had no affect”). - **Mixed signals about scope and compassion:** an older 1-star review alleges the clinic doesn’t do surgical procedures, won’t treat giant dogs, and showed little compassion—this conflicts with more recent comments describing helpful, caring staff.
