Muskerry Veterinary Clinic

Muskerry Veterinary Clinic describes itself as part of one of the largest veterinary practices in the country, offering both farm animal and companion animal care. Based on the clinic’s own service list and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine consults and diagnostics (including in-house testing and X‑rays), with additional options like acupuncture and cardiology workups. Owners specifically mention coming in for an X‑ray, being accommodated for a Sunday emergency, and being able to do “settling-in” visits without an appointment to help a nervous dog get comfortable. One review also describes laser treatment being tried for a dog’s back pain, with improvement noticed soon after.
