Best Vets in Inchicore – Complete Local Guide

St Francis Dispensary is an independent registered charity (established in 1926) providing veterinary care for cats and dogs, with a focus on offering treatment “at affordable rates” for owners of limited means. The clinic appears set up mainly for routine, day-to-day veterinary care and common procedures (vaccines, microchipping, neutering), supported by in-house blood testing (Idexx haematology and biochemistry machine) and a diabetes clinic. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - routine preventive care such as vaccines and weight checks - neutering for kittens, including clear pre-op expectations (e.g., being told a pet may be drowsy after anaesthetic) and specific collection times - staff being practical and non-judgemental with more challenging situations (e.g., calmly assessing a dog wearing a muzzle by asking questions about temperament) - quick admin support, such as sending pet records to another vet “in a second”

The Irish Blue Cross is an animal charity (founded 1945) providing veterinary care for sick and injured pets when owners cannot afford private treatment. The website cites high service volume (around 16,000 veterinary visits annually) and notes an “Inchicore Clinic” opened in 2009, alongside mobile clinics and a horse ambulance. In recent reviews, owners most often describe support around end-of-life care (including keepsakes like paw/nose prints and hair clippings, and a condolence card), with one recent review reporting they were turned away when seeking urgent help and were told to register and book online despite expecting emergency access.

The Irish Blue Cross operates as a charity (founded 1945) offering low-cost veterinary care via mobile clinics. Recent reviews most often describe support around end-of-life care, including making euthanasia appointments as calm as possible and providing bereavement keepsakes afterwards (cards, paw/nose prints, and hair clippings). One recent reviewer reports a conflicting experience when seeking urgent help for a dog in pain, saying they were told to register and book online rather than being seen immediately, despite their understanding that emergencies would be seen urgently.

The Irish Blue Cross - Mobile Unit 2 is part of The Irish Blue Cross animal charity (founded 1945). The charity’s website describes its clinics as providing veterinary care for owners who are unable to afford needed treatment, and cites a high overall caseload (average annual veterinary visits: 16,000) and a network of mobile clinic locations (10). Recent reviews focus heavily on end-of-life support: multiple owners describe euthanasia appointments handled with clear, practical compassion, including keepsakes sent afterwards (cards, paw/nose prints, and hair clippings). Owners also mention a structured access process (registering and booking online), and one review describes being turned away when seeking urgent same-day help—creating a clear mismatch between the owner’s expectation of “emergency” access and what happened at the clinic.

The Irish Blue Cross – Mobile Unit 3 is part of The Irish Blue Cross animal charity (founded in 1945). Based on the website and reviews, it appears set up for high-volume, practical veterinary care (the charity cites an average of 16,000 veterinary visits annually), with multiple reviewers describing support around end-of-life appointments—including keepsakes such as paw/nose prints and hair clippings sent afterwards. Reviews also show a clear split on urgent access: several people describe excellent help from the team, while one recent reviewer says they were turned away when seeking urgent care and were told to register and book online.
