Marina Veterinary Clinic

Marina Veterinary Clinic is an independent, owner-operated practice in Cork, with Sarah and Niall repeatedly named as the vets and Kelly-Ann/Kelly Anne mentioned on reception. The clinic appears set up for both routine appointments and urgent situations, including a stated 24-hour on-call emergency service and out-of-hours care described by a reviewer on a Sunday morning. Recent feedback also highlights a calm, clean, spacious environment and vets who take concerns seriously, explain treatment options, and follow up on cases.

Services

• •Urgent and out-of-hours care: The clinic states that it offers a 24-hour on-call emergency service, and one owner describes being seen out of hours on a Sunday morning for a rapid assessment.
