Riverview Veterinary Clinic Ballincollig is part of the Riverview Veterinary Group (the website notes 80 years in practice). Based on both the site and recent reviews, the clinic is set up for routine care (e.g., first vaccinations) as well as more complex surgical cases, with multiple owners describing orthopaedic procedures and detailed aftercare. The website also states they provide emergency support for pets and farm animals, including a mobile service for farm animals; one recent reviewer also mentions “satellite offices” that can provide 24‑hour urgent care. Concrete examples owners mention include cruciate ligament reconstruction and other knee surgeries, treatment of fractures/leg breaks, and staff taking time to explain options in detail before treatment.

Charleville Veterinary Clinic (also referred to in reviews as “Millhouse vets”) is presented via a Facebook page rather than a full clinic website, so most concrete detail comes from client accounts. Reviews describe the clinic handling urgent and emergency presentations for cats and dogs (including a cat in crisis and a dog that had poisoned itself), plus follow-up after treatment. Several reviewers mention compassionate handling during difficult outcomes, and one specifically notes “excellent follow up service.”

The Donkey Sanctuary is a donkey-and-mule welfare organisation (not a general small-animal veterinary clinic) focused on sanctuary care, rehoming, and practical support for owners. The website positions it as a specialist authority on donkey welfare and knowledge-sharing. Recent reviews focus more on the visitor experience than clinical care, with repeated mentions of clearly marked walking routes/trails, staff who explain what they’re doing, and a dog-friendly policy during visits. Practical specifics mentioned include free entry and an “adopt a donkey” option (€25 for one year).

Long-term clients also reference orthopaedic surgery (cruciate ligament) and ongoing arthritis/mobility management (including Librela and Neurostil).

Duntahane Veterinary Clinic treats a wide mix of animals (cats, dogs, horses/equines and bovine), and the website notes on-site diagnostic capability including X‑ray, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory testing (biochemistry and haematology). It also references herd health work. Reviewers most often highlight practical things that affect day-to-day care: getting appointments without long waits, a clinic described as “spotless,” and a feeling that treatments aren’t being pushed unnecessarily (“aren’t money-grabbers”). One review describes being seen promptly on a Sunday for two sick kittens, with an emergency consultation fee described as “not too expensive” (no price stated).
