Tullow Vet – Vets in Tullow
Clinic Overview
Tullow Vet appears to be a small practice (no corporate group affiliation is stated in the available information) where repeat clients specifically seek out named clinicians for long-term care. Reviews describe both routine appointments (yearly vaccinations) and more complex or urgent situations—such as a very unwell cat seen “straight away,” and a female dog with a “complicated hormonal issue” that required correct assessment and treatment.
Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include
- •Same-day help in a “panic” call, with treatment options discussed before proceeding.
- •Medications dispensed with instructions after an urgent consult.
- •Surgical neutering/castration for a cat, with the owner noting healing went smoothly.
- •Thorough examinations and diagnostics/clinical judgement cited for complicated cases.

A year late in making this review but Giovanni and his staff are excellent. I rang in a panic one evening. Had a very unusual situation with a neighbourhood cat that I was minding here and there. He saw me straight away, he told me the cat was very unwell and we explored the treatment options. He treated the cat and gave me meds and instructions..I don't know what the cost is these days for a vet visit for a cat, but to me, I felt he was very fair with the price to me. I was so upset, I had tears in my eyes because he had truly become a great companion to me and I had never thought of or owned a cat before..Didn't even have a cage for him. He saved my little buddies life. His temperature was extremely high and he had blood coming out of him. He told me it was very serious but he would do all he could. I never got the chance to thank him or the receptionist that day for their understanding, kindness, help and fairness to me financially, as it wasn't my cat. Cat also was Castrated there a few months after and again,.apart from being high as a kite when he got home.😂.he seemed to heal with no issue. I would highly recommend Giovanni and his team..it's evident from them moment you walk in that they really do care and love animals...Thanks folks.😻😊

Over the years we visited countless of different vet clinics whitin Carlow / Kilkenny / Laois area. Nobody was ever as helpful as Dr. Giovanni. He is a veterinarian who is also happen to be a human being. He isn't emotionally drained or incapable of empathy, unlike the other 'vets" who not only have less practical experience but their main goal is to properly rip you off. Tullow Vet aren't one of those "rip you off" clinics. The whole Tullow Vet team is always incredibly helpful and caring 💜 I have never experienced any unprofessional approach from their behalf. I highly recommend bringing your pet here.

Giovanni has looked after our golden retriever Rafa for many years and has looked after him through various stressful (for us!) issues and injuries. Throughout, he has not only shown consummate professional skill but also, together with Amanda, been extremely caring and responsive. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

An excellent vet. Giovanni gave a thorough examination and the correct assessment of a female dog I have. It was a complicated hormonal issue but his assessment and treatment was 100%. She has recovered completely. Thank you.
