Back in August, we came together for a charity walk to honour of our wonderful colleague and friend, Don Cullinane. It was a day filled with laughter, stories, and connection — with our team, friends and family walking side by side in his memory.

 

Today, we had the privilege of visiting the two incredible charities receiving the funds raised: RNLI Kinsale and Bandon Community Hospital. We were met with such kindness and gratitude at both locations.

 

The RNLI team gave us a tour of their phenomenal facilities — we were blown away by their dedication and the life-saving work they do.

 

At Bandon Community Hospital, we were welcomed into a truly beautiful, homely space that radiates care and compassion. It’s clear how much this place means to the community.

 

We were proud to present a cheque for €5,851.50 to both, made possible by the generosity of our customers, suppliers, friends, and colleagues. Your donations matter — they help fund vital equipment, support frontline staff, and ensure these services continue to care for those who need them most.

 

Thank you for helping us turn remembrance into impact. Don would be proud

On 12 June we hosted a fun family open day at our Macroom clinic.

 

It was a fun filled afternoon with free pet consults and goodie bags, hamper raffles, complementary coffee, sandwiches and cakes and a tour of the updated clinic. For the young ones we offered face painting and teddy bear surgery.

 

We also had the honour of having staff there from the CSPCA to discuss the adoption process and answerring questions.

 

We love hosting these events to meet new and exsisting clients, doting on our furry friends and also inspiring some future Vets and Vet Nurses!

Special thank you to the CSPCA, Dansa Coffee, Pickles, Castle Hotel, Duggans, Nutravet, C+M, MSD, Interchem and Trustvet for sponsorring prizes, joining us and offering your services 🙂

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our cherished colleague, Don Cullinane, early this morning (May 9th) following a brief illness. Don was our Financial Controller and Practice Manager but Don was more than that, he was a trusted friend and confidant to everybody in our team here at Glasslyn Vets.

His loss leaves a profound void , as he was not only an exceptional professional but also a generous, fun and supportive spirit.

Through the years, Don’s invaluable advice and friendship touched us all, and his contributions to Glasslyn were truly immeasurable.

We are forever grateful for having had the privilege to know and work alongside Don. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and all who are grieving his departure.

May he rest in peace, knowing the lasting impact he had on each one of us.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

A science that sees disease as an impalance or disharmony in the body. To rebalance we need specific points called acupoints.

 

DO ANIMALS TOLERATE ACUPUNCTURE?

Of Course! They tend to relax and enjoy the process. For patients who become stressed, we can use traditional ways of calming with anxiety relief medication the we can give you before the visit.

 

WHAT CAN WE TREAT WITH ACUPUNCTURE?

We can treat a wide variety of diseases in combination with traditional western veterinary medicine. We can achieve great results in alleviating pain in our patients.

 

WHAT TYPES OF PAIN CAN WE TREAT?

1. Chronic Osteoarthritis pain
2. Neurological pain
3. Oncologic pain
4. Visceral pain
5. Myofascial pain
6. Internal diseases

If you think your dog is in pain and you want to know more call  or email us as [email protected] and ask for MVDr. Barbara Kajtarova.

 

We are looking forward to improving your pet’s quality of life!
