Inchicore Clinic

In the interest of your pets health and welfare, we can only accept patients within a 40km of our Inchicore clinic.  It is not in the best interest of a sick animal to travel long distances for treatment.

If you are living outside of our catchment area, we advise pet owners to seek treatment from a veterinary practice in your locality.  It is essential for the welfare of your pet that you avail of veterinary services within a reasonable distance of your home, particularly where emergency treatment may be required.

Our Inchicore Clinic operates on an appointment basis. For information on the Veterinary Services provided at our Inchicore Clinic please click here
