Dog & Cat Vets in Derrymoyle

## Summary St Francis Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that, in the latest reviews available to us, is repeatedly described as responsive with clear communication and follow-up after treatment. Owners mention pets being seen promptly at appointments, vets explaining what they’re doing “in layman’s terms,” and a follow-up phone call to check recovery after a procedure/treatment. One review also highlights the clinic providing low-cost euthanasia for a disabled, very sick stray cat when the owner felt other clinics quoted much higher fees. ## Services Services specifically referenced in the available information include: - General vet appointments for cats and dogs (owners describe examinations and treatment during booked visits). - Euthanasia (mentioned in the context of helping a very sick, disabled stray cat “out of its pain”). - Post-treatment follow-up by phone (a client reports receiving a call to check their dog’s recovery). - Advice on products sold at the clinic (reception staff described explaining products and how to use them). *A reviewer asked whether the clinic serves birds; no answer is included in the review text we have, so this can’t be confirmed.* ## People - **Colette (vet)**: Mentioned by name in a review praising the care provided and noting a follow-up call after treatment, plus willingness to address “endless questions & concerns.” - **Clare and Margaret**: Mentioned as accommodating with “all my cat problems,” with the reviewer describing them as professional and helpful. - **Reception team (not named)**: One owner notes they were knowledgeable about products being purchased and took time to explain them. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.9 stars from 132 reviews.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - **Follow-up after care:** one owner reports a phone call to check their dog’s recovery after treatment. - **Clear explanations during appointments:** a reviewer describes the vet explaining what was being done and given in “layman’s terms.” - **Handling and demeanour with pets:** owners describe gentle handling (specifically with a cat) and pets being “well cared for.” - **Helpfulness and accommodating approach (especially with cats):** repeat mentions of being helpful and fitting in cat-related issues. - **Cost sensitivity in a difficult situation:** one review says the clinic charged “next to nothing” for euthanasia for a very sick stray cat, contrasted with “extortionate” quotes elsewhere.
