MyVet Lucan

MyVet Lucan is part of the MyVet group of three clinics and was originally opened in 2005 as Hermitage Vet Clinic by vet Liam Moriarty; a new veterinary hospital opened next door in 2019. The clinic has CT scanning on site, and recent owner feedback continues to point to referral work, emergency treatment, surgery, and end-of-life care as important parts of what it does. Reviews most often highlight fast triage, compassionate communication, and thoughtful support for families during difficult visits.

Services

• •Referral diagnostics and advanced imaging: CT scanning is available on site, and recent reviews mention pets being referred in for CT imaging.
• •Surgery and emergency treatment: Owners describe emergency presentations, late-night and holiday care, abdominal surgery after referral, and emergency surgery for seriously ill pets.
• •Urgent respiratory support: One reviewer describes a cat being taken straight in from the car and placed in an oxygen tent during an emergency visit.
• •End-of-life care: Multiple reviews describe sensitive euthanasia appointments, private space, time to say goodbye without being rushed, and help with cremation arrangements.
• •Memorial keepsakes: Several owners mention receiving paw prints, a nose print, fur clippings, and personalised cards after a pet’s passing.
• •General pet care and ongoing support: Reviews also mention routine visits, handling of anxious dogs, and clear explanations of what needs doing now versus what may be able to wait.
• •Pet food and medication ordering: Owners can order pet food and medicine online via the clinic’s website.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits above average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. The website notes that additional consultation fees apply for Sunday and Bank Holiday emergency or urgent cases, and recent reviews show mixed feeling on cost: some owners describe care as worth it and say options were explained clearly, while others call the clinic expensive, including one report of a €70 consultation fee plus €30 treatment for flea care and another dispute involving a €2500 charge for a referred case.
