They are absolutely wonderful. They treat animals with so much care and professionalism, and they’re always happy to help and answer any questions. They also have an emergency service, which is super helpful. I have my three cats with them and couldn’t be happier. No complaints at all — they’re truly fantastic! 🐾💚

Fantastic service. I wasn't a regular customer and needed a emergency vet. Absolutely best veterinary I have come across in a long time. Thank you for being there at such difficult time.

When my dog had a medical emergency at 1 a.m., I was so grateful for the help we received. The vet, Ciara, was knowledgeable and friendly. She handled the situation with great care. My dog is doing great, and I can't thank Ciara enough.

Had my dog with them last Xmas she had a wee turn and they seen her immediately, they kept her over night and we thought she may need a few days but to our surprise she was ready for home the next day, all be it shaken. She took two weeks to recover with meds and had a drip up the night she was with them, she is an old lady of 16 years so we wanted to give her every chance. The vet, Ronan I think, was so nice and understanding, took such good care of her. Made us feel comfortable leaving her with them.. She is still going well 8 months on , we will get another check up on her, but her age is against her. Again we will give her every chance. The cost is irrelevant, for the peace of mind and care she got..

Absolutely amazing, it's taken me nearly a year to write this review because I still probably am in a bit of denial, my best bud Cleo had an aggressive tumour,and had come to the point where it was unfair on her to have to deal with it, I couldn't get her in the car as she hated the vets and where the tumour was you couldn't put a lead on. I contacted the vet she had been with since a pup. And they wouldn't come out and offered no alternative. I went to lk small vets clinic and explained the situation, a week passed and I called again and they rang me back and were there within the hour. We got time with Cleo before and after she passed, and we all shed some tears. The vet and assistant were amazing, and could not have made a horrible situation that big easier, and I can't praise them enough. She was able to pass at home in my arms. Thanks you for everything.

A really professional outfit. I had my little westie put to sleep here a few years ago, and while she went quickly I can't help but feel she may have suffered in the final few seconds. She wasn't given a sedative beforehand, and I kind of wished the vets had given her one, to help ease her passing. I know in future I will ask for my pet to be given a sedative before being put to sleep. But all that aside, I can't fault this place (although avoid the awful..awful..dog grooming place next door)
