Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Jerry McCarthy Veterinary Clinic lists a broad set of general veterinary services—ranging from routine prevention (vaccinations, worming, microchipping) to in-clinic diagnostics (digital radiographs and ultrasound) and procedures such as neutering and dental care. The website also states the clinic is available 24 hours for emergencies.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often point to practical, decision-relevant experiences: dogs (including very large dogs) being handled in a way that keeps them calm, appointments/bookings described as responsive, and advice described as straightforward—one reviewer specifically notes they weren’t pushed to buy food or products. One detailed review describes a puppy being diagnosed with ear mites and treated, with guidance given on ear cleaning and grooming at home.
