Summerhill Opening
The family was delighted to open the doors of the state-of-the-art 12,000 sq ft hospital in June 2019.The old adage ‘build it and they will come’ proved true, and the hospital family expanded exponentially. The addition of emergency and critical care and internal medicine services made them the only small animal hospital in Ireland that could cater for any type of acute or chronic injury or illness, under the direction of a Specialist, 24–7–365. Our internationally renowned Specialists started residency training and research programmes, and partipated in continued professional development workshops for our referring veterinary professionals, with the ultimate goal of advancing high quality and compassionate health care for pets in Ireland.
2024

Veterinary Specialists Cork was officially opened in July 2024, clocking in at a massive 16,000 sq ft and offering advanced services and imaging capabilities.
