Veterinary care in Ireland
We list 250 clinics across 4 regions in Ireland. Of those, 9 advertise emergency services and 8 post 24-hour hours. The best-covered regions are Leinster, Munster, Connacht, Ulster.
Emergency hospitals cluster in population centers, because an overnight ICU only sustains itself where the caseload supports it. If you live outside one, an after-hours crisis means a drive — and the useful time to establish where is now, not then. The distance search ignores region boundaries entirely and simply ranks by how far away things actually are, which is usually what you want.
Before you drive
Always call first. Hospitals divert cases when full, overnight staffing changes, and "24-hour" occasionally means the phone is answered around the clock rather than a vet being on site. Ask directly whether there is a vet in the building and whether they can take your case tonight. For suspected poisoning, Animal PoisonLine (UK-based) on +44 1202 509000 (24/7, call charge applies) gives treatment advice immediately — often while you are still deciding whether to travel.
Typical costs in Ireland
An emergency exam and triage typically runs €100–€250 before any treatment, and an emergency needing an overnight stay commonly lands between €700–€2,500. Dublin practices run highest; regional clinics are typically lower. We don't publish clinic-specific prices, because no practice can quote a case without examining the animal. See the full cost guide.
About these listings
Compiled from public sources plus our own research, ordered by objective facts only — 24-hour status, then emergency services, then alphabetically. No clinic pays to be listed or to rank higher. Every clinic page shows when it was last checked, and hours change faster than any directory can track, which is why every page here says call ahead. How we build our listings.
