Glengormley Vets

Glengormley Vets describes itself as a family-run, independent clinic that aims to work “free of any protocols or procedures” so it can offer what it calls impartial advice, with a stated holistic approach. The clinic appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, puppy/kitten packs, microchipping) as well as diagnostics and surgery, with on-site digital x-ray, ultrasound and in-house blood analysers listed. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being fitted in quickly for urgent problems—examples include being seen within an hour for a cat and being told to come in 15 minutes before closing when worried about a dog. Other specific experiences mentioned include support around euthanasia (including a condolence card) and a successful knee/ligament operation with aftercare guidance.
