About Us
The Moyne Veterinary Hospital dates back to 1941 when Simon Kavanagh began offering veterinary services from Templeshannon in Enniscorthy. This practice became Kavanagh, Kent, O’Shea & Wall over the next 40 years and continued until 1998 when The Moyne Veterinary Clinic opened on the Old Dublin Road with Larry Wall, Joseph Kavanagh (Simon’s son) and Tomas O’Shea as owners of a purpose-built veterinary clinic. Over the following years the clinic modernised and became The Moyne Veterinary Hospital in 2018.
We have a fully equipped Small Animal Hospital which provides 24-hour care to our customers and their pets. We offer appointments from 9-1 and 2-6 Monday to Saturday as well as carrying out all routine and elective operations.
We also provide 24-hour care to our Farm Animal and Equine customers.
We have a fully stocked shop for all our customers providing products for all animals under our care. We are proud stockists of Royal Canin, Burns food for dogs and cats and Beta dog food.
