Lucan Veterinary Hospital

Lucan Veterinary Hospital is most often described in reviews as a long-running practice for both dogs and cats, with owners citing quick access for appointments and emergencies, and vets who explain options clearly. Several reviews mention serious illness being treated successfully (including a very unwell cat “brought back to full health” and a dog that owners say the team “saved”), and the clinic environment is described as clean and comfortable. There is, however, a conflicting report from one reviewer who says the clinic was “permanently closed” after confirming a major operation, with no notice or alternative offered.
