Killarney Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice (corporate group ownership isn’t stated in the information available to us). Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for both routine and more complex cases, with diagnostic imaging mentioned (an X‑ray that led to a difficult discussion about options) and owners also describing “tricky” operations. Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include: - Clear explanations of treatment options after an X‑ray, with empathy during a bad-news visit. - Out-of-hours phone help for an exotic pet (a bearded dragon), including an offer to be seen in the early hours. - Ongoing management of chronic ear infections with medication that reduced repeat visits, plus treatment of hot spots. - A large, clean waiting room and an on-site pet shop mentioned by reviewers.

Ark Veterinary Hospital is a companion-animal clinic and hospital offering medical, surgical and dental care for dogs, cats and rabbits, with orthopaedic work (including bone fracture repair) listed on its website. The site also states it conducts one-to-one consultations with a “generous time allocation,” and that it can see emergencies during a stated window (12pm–5pm). In recent reviews, owners describe getting same-day help for urgent issues (e.g., a dog’s ear problem) and note specific handling approaches for stressed cats—one owner says their cat’s vaccination was done without sedation using gabapentin, with a much better recovery than at previous practices. A minority of reviewers report problems with front-desk manner and empathy during difficult situations, including an owner who felt there was “no sympathy” when their dog died.
