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.

Whitehouse Veterinary Clinic
Derry City
Our Score (76/100)
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.
