Large Animal Veterinary Services
At Acorn Veterinary Clinic, we have 3 dedicated large animal vets. We have been treating the animals of North Cork for over 50 years, and during that time have developed a range of specialist expertise and special interests including mastitis, nutrition, herd health and fertility. We offer a comprehensive 24/7, 365 days on call service to our clients, meaning a vet is only ever a phone call away. You can reach our on call vet by calling 022 25193.
