Killester Vets

Killester Vets is a small-animal clinic (dogs, cats, rabbits) with in-house diagnostic equipment listed on its website (Abaxis blood analyser, digital X-ray processing, ultrasound). Based on both the site and recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care (consultations, vaccines, parasite control, microchipping) as well as procedures such as dentistry and surgery, with specialist referral available when needed.

Owners repeatedly describe specific hands-on outcomes: blood sampling done quickly “with no sedatives” and “no stress” (one review mentions it was handled in five minutes), dental surgery for a cat that “went smoothly” with full recovery, and surgery described as “emergency” that led to a marked improvement in an older dog’s condition. Several reviews also highlight vets taking time to answer questions in detail and helping pets feel safe and comfortable during visits.
