Best Vets in Lisburn – Complete Local Guide

Companion Care (Lisburn) Ltd trades as Vets4Pets and is described on its website as a locally owned practice set up in 2012 by Barry and Christina Palmer. The clinic presents itself as equipped for both routine care and more complex work, with on-site imaging and a hospital ward/isolation unit, and it states it uses “no fear handling” to reduce stress during visits. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention prompt decision-making in urgent cases, regular updates while a dog was hospitalised, and cost-conscious discussions (including an example where a Sunday allergic-reaction visit totalled £86 for an injection and swelling treatment, compared with a separate emergency quote of £380 elsewhere).

Lisburn Veterinary Clinic describes itself as a long-established independent practice (serving pets since 1942) with a team of 12 veterinary surgeons supported by veterinary nurses. Based on the website, it’s set up for a wide range of medical and surgical cases, including orthopaedics, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and anaesthesia. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention being able to get a quick appointment when a pet was unwell, and feeling supported through end-of-life care (one review describes help over an 18‑month period for a dog with cancer). Several reviews also mention staff taking time to answer questions.

Advance Veterinary Care describes itself as an independent, modern veterinary practice. The website indicates it treats a wide range of species (including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, and other exotic/small pets) and offers structured options like a Pet Health Plan and nurse-led clinics. From the latest reviews available, owners most often mention: - Surgery with follow-up care, including a cat with a fractured leg that needed surgery, with the clinic described as supportive throughout and “very reasonable” for the amount of work involved. - End-of-life care, with one owner describing being given time to say goodbye and that their pet was treated with dignity. - Practical handling of nervous pets, including a case where the vet came out to the car so a nervous dog didn’t have to wait inside. - A recurring downside from one long-term client: appointments can run late, and even drop-offs may involve waiting.

Glenburn Veterinary Surgeons is a small-animal practice where recent reviewers most often describe clear explanations of diagnoses/medication and gentle handling during exams. A “pet plan” is mentioned by one owner, and routine procedures such as spaying are described, including a follow-up appointment after surgery. Reviews are not entirely consistent: alongside multiple reports of thorough exams and good communication, one reviewer says a six‑month check felt limited (weigh-in plus a brief look at a tail cut) and was unhappy with the cost. Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Spaying with a “small, neat incision” and a follow-up appointment afterwards. - Vets giving a “full explanation” of a dog’s condition and prescribed medication. - Careful, gentle handling of a cat during procedures/exams. - A complaint that a check-up did not include checks of ears/eyes/paws/hips.
