Riverview Veterinary Clinic Carrigaline is part of the Riverview Veterinary Group (in operation for 80 years). The clinic is set up for both small-animal care and farm-animal work, including its own emergency service for small animals and an ambulatory emergency service for farm animals (per the clinic website). In recent reviews, owners most often mention thorough consultations that listen to concerns, short waits, and practical admin support such as reminders for vaccinations and routine tablets. A minority report a missed issue during a routine visit (a dog’s glands weren’t checked until asked twice, and a lump on an ear wasn’t examined).

Abbeyville Veterinary Clinic (also described on its website as a veterinary hospital) has been established for over 70 years and offers medical, surgical and obstetrical care alongside large‑animal services. Reviews most often describe hands-on support during extended treatment courses and recovery periods, including overnight stays and repeated follow-up visits for wounds and infections. Named staff members come up repeatedly, with owners citing calm handling of stressed pets (including an escaped cat) and long-running cases involving surgeries, treatments and medications that ultimately improved after transferring care. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Overnight stays where a dog was handled kindly enough that she “returns happily to greet everyone there.” - A 10-day stretch of care following a deep, infected puncture wound after an attack, resulting in a full recovery. - An 8‑month journey involving surgeries/treatments/medications in another clinic that improved after Abbeyville took over the case. - A report of an unpleasant receptionist interaction serious enough for one long-term client to switch clinics (contrasting with otherwise positive comments about vets and nursing staff).
