Got some bad news after an x-ray this week on our big darling dog and the staff were very empathetic and spoiled him during the day. Shane was excellent at explaining options and gave us a discount as he knew my wife and I were having a bad day. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Very helpful and friendly staff. We rang very late on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. We had a problem with our bearded dragon and were unable to find any exotic vet or any other vet in Cork that would give us advice or offer to see him. After trying several other vets with no luck, we got through to Killarney Veterinary Clinic. We got through to a fantastic vet named Dr. Yasin, who provided great help and assistance over the phone, as well as offering to see him even in the early hours of the morning. We would highly recommend Dr. Yasin and Killarney Veterinary Clinic, especially for the care and treatment of exotic pets.

Service was 5 stars, plenty customer's parking, toilet is available, waiting room is big and clean. There is pet shop at the back. Location is strategic as easy to find. They have very experinced vets who capable to perform tricky operation. The only drawbacks is a bit pricy. I guess their customers are rich people but me. 😂😅

Here, you'll find nice, honest, professional, and dedicated people. I'm glad that I finally found a place where I can bring (and even leave, if needed) my dog, knowing she's in good hands and receiving proper care. In the end, I want to say that I didn't feel robbed at all, so one extra star! 🌟

We had a slight misunderstanding regarding additional services, but it was very quickly cleared up, and courteously. With our young cat, we'll be coming back here as our go to veterinary because you can just tell that Shane truly loves animals, and the prices are fair. Highly recommended if you're local. You can see in the photo that our cat's happy, even though he came back without his front legs! - joking 🤣, he's very happy

I have been using Killarney Veterinary practice with my senior dog Teddy, for nearly two years now.Teddy had chronic ear infections,the poor dog was plagued and nothing seemed to help, until I moved to this practice. I’m amazed at the difference in Teddy and his ears.It’s miraculous, although, i still have to keep on top of them the medication works, Teddy responds well to the medication.Thankfully, I'm not going to vet every couple of weeks and he is a happier dog. I can not praise the staff or thank them enough.This morning vet Shane treated Teddy’s very bad hot spots and he is a genuinely caring vet.Teddy I’m happy to say is recovering nicely and is happily snoring away. I cannot praise or thank all the staff n vets at Killarney Veterinary practice on the Tralee road Killarney
