VB Veterinary – Vets in Kilmore
Clinic Overview
Founded in 2009 by veterinarians Justin Browne and Simon Fahey, Borovalley Veterinary Clinic (VB Veterinary) provides care for both horses and small animals, with the website specifically highlighting advanced medical/surgical capability for equine work. The clinic describes on-site facilities including a laboratory, pharmacy and a dental clinic, and states it offers “after hours” emergency services for both pet and horse clients.
From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being helped outside normal times (late at night and at weekends), getting clear explanations (“straight talking… no jargon”), and practical follow-through such as after-care instructions after dental procedures. Several reviews also point to calm handling of difficult or anxious pets (including “snappy, grumpy dogs”) and respectful support during euthanasia.

I was very fortunate to discover Borovalley Vets. I moved to the area three years ago and since then I've probably been with them about forty or fifty times with assorted dogs (my own and rescue). They've never let me down, even on those occasions when I've had to call to them late at night or weekends. Jen, in particular, has been lovely with my sometimes snappy, grumpy dogs. Vicky and Demelza are so nice to deal with. They've always been so kind to me and the dogs. On the couple of occasions where Ive had to let a dog go, they've been kind, emphathetic and respectful. Don't know what I (and my dogs) would do without them.

Nothing but great things to say about Borovalley. Every member of staff I came across was so kind and helpful and informative and really put me at ease which made the experience stress free for both me and our dog. Would highly recommend. Many thanks from me and little Rolo😊🐕

An excellent and compassionate veterinary clinic. All of the vets are lovely. It's always a good experience bringing loved furry family and friends here for care. They are always kind and compassionate. I highly recommend this Vet Practice. They are currently helping me to care for a stray cat with a sore leg. .

Very professional set up. Left my 2 dogs in for dental cleaning and found all the staff to be super kind and gentle with the animals. Lovely friendly man on reception who explained after-care routine clearly. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Borovalley for taking great care of my boys.
