Best Vets in Gorey – Complete Local Guide

Gorey Vet Hospital is a general veterinary hospital dealing with both routine and urgent cases, including emergency presentations (one owner reports being seen within an hour on Christmas Day for a dog having seizures). Reviews repeatedly mention thorough examinations, clear explanations of next steps (including step-by-step updates during illness), and inpatient care (a reported two-night stay with blood tests). Owners also describe pragmatic treatment plans—medication, antibiotics, probiotics and diet changes—without “over complicating things.” One review sharply conflicts with the generally positive picture, alleging unprofessional behaviour from reception staff during a call about an injured wild rabbit.

Gorey BrayVet is described in reviews as handling both routine care and complex or urgent situations, including an emergency-line call that led to a next-morning appointment and compassionate delivery of serious news. Owners mention a successful cruciate ligament operation, dental work and neutering, and support through end-of-life decisions (including arranging care before cremation). Several reviews also describe thoughtful follow-up after a pet’s death (a condolence card and “forget-me-not” seeds). One recent review raises concern about the cost of a short visit involving injections and tablets.

Mill House Veterinary Practice appears to be a small practice where clients repeatedly mention individual vets by name (Peter and Liam), suggesting continuity of care rather than a rotating team. Based on the latest reviews, it’s used for routine preventative care (vaccinations/boosters), minor procedures (nail clipping, gland expression), medication for illness, and urgent wound treatment that required stitches and monitoring for a few hours. Several reviewers also describe end‑of‑life and senior-dog care where the vet “exhausted all avenues” and saw the pet multiple times with medication before euthanasia was needed. Practical touches owners call out include very short-notice appointments, being met quickly for an out-of-hours injury, and a case where medication was provided based on symptoms explained without bringing the dog in (charged for the medication only).

Horse Happy Veterinary Services is an independent, family-run equine practice that works with horses and describes having brand new premises. Based on the latest written reviews available to us, owners specifically mention clear, detailed explanations of diagnosis/prognosis and treatment rationale, and that the vet can provide on-site imaging (X‑rays and ultrasound) when a mains power supply is available. The written reviews that include detail focus more on case work and diagnostics than routine pet care.

Bowwout appears to be a dog boarding kennels/pet care service rather than a veterinary clinic (multiple reviews describe dogs “staying” for several days and being “looked after” in “the kennels”). Reviews repeatedly mention a person named Annette as the one caring for dogs, with several owners saying they’ve used the kennels multiple times or for years. One recent review reports a serious negative incident: a small dog allegedly returned bitten and traumatised, and the owner says they were not contacted during their trip and that wounds were not cleaned before collection.
