Bree Veterinary

Bree Veterinary (Borovalley Veterinary Clinic) is a Registered Veterinary Clinic (RVC) with the Veterinary Council of Ireland, established in 2009 by veterinarians Justin Browne and Simon Fahey. The clinic covers both horses and small animals, with facilities that include an on-site laboratory, pharmacy, dental clinic and surgical facility. Reviews point to a practice that owners use repeatedly for routine and difficult moments alike—examples include being seen late at night/weekends, clear “no jargon” explanations, and support during euthanasia decisions (“kind, empathetic and respectful”). Dental care is also specifically mentioned in reviews (dogs booked in for dental cleaning with after-care explained).
