A cornerstone of veterinary care in Galway for nearly 40 years, Glenina Vets has future proofed its service for future generations of pet owners, by introducing new innovative equipment, renovating the current practice space and adding highly specialised veterinary staff to its team.
Located on Dublin Rd, Glenina Vets is a proudly independent veterinary clinic which has been serving the people of Galway, and their pets, for the last 37 years.
Founded by Michael Brennan and Joe O'Donnell in 1987, Glenina Vets is the longest established practice in the city. As a mixed practice, Glenina Vets offers services and support for both small animals (dogs and cats etc. ) and large animals (horses, cows etc. ), and is the only large animal practice in the city.
Driven by its aim to 'provide quality veterinary services and support at affordable, competitive prices', Glenina Vets has long since established its reputation for operating in the best interests of the animals it cares for, as well as providing a compassionate, personable approach to pet owners. At Glenina Vets, pets are recognised as more than animals, but as family members and cherished companions.
