Vets in Antrim | Northern Ireland Veterinary Directory

Cedar Grove Veterinary Clinic is RCVS-accredited and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website highlights referral services, nurse clinics, and a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included, and they also accept Klarna for payment plans. Recent reviews describe both urgent care (a severely unwell cat treated “swiftly and thoroughly,” with ongoing medication monitoring) and end-of-life support (owners given time with their pet after passing, with clear guidance on what to expect next). Concrete details mentioned by owners include: - Emergency presentation handled on-site, including support during a rapidly deteriorating condition and time provided for owners to say goodbye afterwards. - Ongoing follow-up and monitoring, with one owner describing thorough follow-up and continued monitoring of a medication regime. - Clear communication of options, including for a guinea pig’s lump removal after it burst. - Surgical cases referenced, including tumour removal surgery and removal of a guinea pig lump.

Forestside Veterinary Clinic describes itself on its website as a locally owned, independent practice. Based on reviews, it seems set up for routine preventive care and in-clinic diagnostics, with owners repeatedly mentioning same-day/short-notice appointments, clear explanations of options and costs, and quick turnaround on results (including follow-up calls). Recent examples include a cat seen at short notice for a claw problem and treated within minutes, and another cat who had blood tests and x-rays done the same day, with results phoned through shortly after.

Ashwood Veterinary Clinic describes itself as an independent, primary-care practice offering small animal medicine and surgery, including soft tissue and orthopaedic work. Recent reviews repeatedly mention surgical cases with detailed communication, including WhatsApp updates while pets are in surgery, follow-up phone calls from nurses, and even photos sent after procedures. Owners also reference specific procedures such as cruciate ligament surgery, molar extraction, and use of diagnostic imaging (x‑ray/ultrasound) and blood tests. One reviewer also reports being seen with a tortoise after initially being unsure the clinic could help.

Fenaghy Veterinary Clinic is set up for everyday primary-care work (check-ups, vaccinations/boosters, treating infections) alongside in-clinic procedures such as dental work and surgery. The clinic also states it provides 24/7 access to an online vet via Pawsquad, and it is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention: - Clear explanations of options and treatment plans, including vets taking time to talk through symptoms and treatments. - Handling anxious pets gently (for example, staff helping with a nervous cat that became incontinent in the car, including cleaning the carrier while the pet was assessed). - Follow-up/continuity (return visits booked for check-ups and boosters; continuity of care specifically praised). - Advance pricing transparency (“prices are given in advance so never any unexpected surprises,” per one review).

Companion Care (Lisburn) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets and is described on its website as a locally owned practice set up in 2012 by Barry and Christina Palmer. The clinic presents itself as equipped for both routine care and more complex work, with on-site imaging and a hospital ward/isolation unit, and it states it uses “no fear handling” to reduce stress during visits. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention prompt decision-making in urgent cases, regular updates while a dog was hospitalised, and cost-conscious discussions (including an example where a Sunday allergic-reaction visit totalled £86 for an injection and swelling treatment, compared with a separate emergency quote of £380 elsewhere).
