Gorey Vet Hospital – Vets in Gorey
Clinic Overview
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.
Services
- •Urgent/emergency care: Seen within an hour for a dog experiencing seizures (as reported by an owner).
- •Diagnostics: Blood tests are specifically mentioned (dog “never flinched when getting her bloods done”).
- •Hospitalisation/inpatient care: A two-night stay for a sick dog is described.
- •Medical treatment: Prescribing medication, including a reported plan involving antibiotics, probiotics, and dietary change for a very unwell older dog.
- •End-of-life care: Euthanasia is described, with staff giving the owner time to say goodbye and reporting a peaceful process.
People
- •Amelia (vet): Mentioned by name in a review; described as explaining the situation “step by step,” handling blood sampling calmly, and overseeing care that included a two-night stay.
- •Reception team (mixed feedback): Some owners describe reception as “excellent,” listening to the situation and arranging a same-morning appointment; one owner reports the opposite—feeling mocked and laughed at when calling for advice about an injured rabbit.

Excellent vets ...Amelia was amazing when our dog penny got sick. She explained everything step by step and penny never flinched when getting her bloods done. Penny was given excellent care for her 2 night stay.

We were on holiday when our dog became poorly. After some consideration we thought it best to have her checked out at a veterinary centre. I rang Gorey Veterinary hospital and explained our situation, the receptionist was excellent listened to our situation and gave us a appointment that morning. We arrived at the surgery a little early and were seen immediately by the vet. Our dog was throughly examined, and prescribed medication for her condition. Our dog's condition started to improve within hours of starting the treatment. The cost was reasonable, and I would definitely recommend this veterinary hospital.

14yr old husky very unwell. We got an appointment quickly with an amazing vet. He took his time, advised on probiotics, dietry change and course of antbiotics. After 48 hours our dog was back to normal. The vet was excellent and very kind to our dog. Excellent vet.

The blatant disrespect and unprofessional receptionists let this practice down yet again… Called this morning about an injured rabbit in my garden needing advice as to what to do and was mocked and laughed at by the reception over the phone who were unaware that I was not put on hold… I have never needed to give a bad review to any establishment but I felt people needed to know that if your call regards wildlife you needn’t bother because this practice finds distressed animals and customers amusing … Removing my pets from this practice and will find another where the welfare of animals is actually important and based on recent reviews of this practice makes sense.
