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.
