Drumahoe Veterinary Clinic is an RCVS Accredited Small Animal Practice that says it has been providing veterinary care since 1969. Reviews most often point to quick access to appointments (including getting in via cancellations), vets who explain and reassure without pushing treatment, and follow-up updates after an animal is admitted (one reviewer describes being phoned with progress updates after bringing in an injured stray cat).

Glenshane Veterinary Clinics is a multi-branch practice (ownership group not stated in the sources we have) treating companion animals as well as horses and farm animals (website). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility (clinic data). Reviewers most often describe a low-stress experience where staff get to know pets over time (e.g., different dogs’ personalities remembered, helping reduce stress), and there’s a specific account of middle-of-the-night emergency surgery that “saved my dog’s life” (review). The website also references a Pet Health Club® Plus plan where consultations are included (website).

Treats:

Coleraine Veterinary Practice describes itself as providing pet healthcare “24 hours a day” and treating a wide range of animals (“from the biggest farmyard beasts to the smallest of furry friends”). Reviews most often focus on long-term routine care (annual vaccinations and check-ups) and support during end-of-life decisions, with multiple owners describing sensitive euthanasia appointments and aftercare touches (including providing pawprint copies). A few practical details come up repeatedly: staff answering questions by phone before visits so owners can make informed choices, and a Tuesday discount for over-60s mentioned by a long-term client.

Treats:

Craemill Veterinary Clinic is a small‑animal practice (dogs, cats and other small pets) that also lists itself as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic website promotes a Pet Health Club® Plus plan that includes consultations, and states “Veterinary Practice of the Year 2016” (as written on the site). In reviews, owners most often describe a welcoming front‑of‑house experience and vets who take time with both pets and questions—examples include a vaccination visit where the vet helped a nervous dog relax, and comments about being thorough and patient during appointments.

Treats:

Whitehouse Veterinary Clinic is a mixed practice (treating both pets and farm animals) and states it provides emergency cover 24/7, 365 days a year with a vet always available. Recent reviews mention vets handling issues like eye infections (conjunctivitis treated with antibiotic eye drops) and “intense” operations with a longer recovery period. Several owners describe small but specific touches around end-of-life care (a condolence card and an ink paw-print offered as a keepsake). One owner reports a serious billing/administration dispute (a demand for payment for medication they say they only enquired about) that ended with the practice asking them to go elsewhere, so checking invoices and clarifying charges is a recurring decision point in the feedback.
