Abbeyville Veterinary Hospital – Vets in Togher
Clinic Overview
Abbeyville Veterinary Hospital is an independent practice (no corporate group mentioned) that describes itself as established over 70 years ago and offering medical, surgical, and obstetrical care. Based on both the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for procedures and higher-acuity cases alongside routine care: reviews mention scanning and emergency surgery for a dog with a perforated stomach, plus neutering for both a rabbit and a small dog. Several owners also describe end-of-life support, including helping a cat be comfortable enough to spend final moments at home and arranging cremation/return of ashes. One recent review raises a concern about recurring skin problems in a dog despite medication and a biopsy, and frustration about repeated visits without lasting improvement.

Reviews
4.8 stars from 464 reviews. - Surgery experiences are frequently described in detail, including emergency abdominal surgery after a scan and routine neutering (dog and rabbit), with owners noting pets recovered at home.
- •Communication around serious cases is a repeated point: examples include being told frankly a dog “might not survive the night,” and reassurance provided ahead of a higher-risk procedure.
- •End-of-life care and aftercare are mentioned by multiple owners: helping a cat be comfortable enough to be at home at the end, handling cremation arrangements, and a voicemail about ashes collection that an owner found comforting.
- •Not all outcomes are positive: one owner reports ongoing, recurring skin problems despite medication and a biopsy, feeling the clinic did not focus on long-term resolution.

We took our mini lop bunny for her to be neutered last week and the team at Abbeyville were excellent, from the customer service, nurses and Donal’s knowledge and reassurance for a risky procedure. She’s healing safely at home.

This clinic is very dissatisfied with our dog's skin problems. First they treated it with medication, then they did a biopsy, it cured it for a while, but the problems keep recurring. They don't even try to make sure our pet gets better and doesn't have to go every 2 months. Very disappointed. I don't recommend this clinic to anyone.

Amazing team, I brought my cat to them and was upset to find out she was sicker than I thought, but they made her comfortable that she was able to spend her final moments at home. I entrusted them with her after she passed and received a beautiful experience as I left her with them. I got her cremated and missed the call to collect her ashes which was probably a good thing, because I broke down when I listened to the kind and caring voicemail was left informing me she's ready to come home. It's expensive to bring any pet to a vet but you can't put a price on their comfort and happiness. I can't thank you all enough. I'll be with my baby soon.

I brought my dog Flo to Abbeyville Blarney when she became very sick. We were referred to Togher, where she was scanned and needed emergency surgery under the excellent hands of Tim. She had a perforated stomach after eating an ice lolly stick and resulting complications to her bowel. Tim explained her very serious condition with empathy and honesty, and we were told she might not survive the night. Against the odds, she did survive—and thanks to the incredible care at Togher, she was able to come home a few days later. Follow-up visits to the Blarney clinic with Mairead have helped ensure her recovery. The system of having one central hospital in Togher and local vet clinics is fantastic. Every member of the Abbeyville team we’ve encountered has been outstanding. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in saving Flo's life, we are so grateful.

We recently brought Tosha, 4 years old yorkie who weighs just 2 kilos, to this veterinary clinic for a neutering procedure, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the care and attention he received. Our little fella was very scared, but from the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make him feel safe and comfortable. It really put us at ease knowing he was in such good hands. The procedure went smoothly, and he recovered quickly thanks to their expert care. We wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professional veterinary services. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy!

I can not thank Donal and all the beauitful staff in this amazing practice. The love and care Casper was shown in his final hours were amazing. Thank you Donal for everything you did for my special boy. You are truly an amazing person and vet. The empathy we were shown on my poor Caspers passing has touched my heart. I would also like to mention how special the girls are on reception. Truly caring people. Debbie and family
