Unhappy with how I was being treated when brought my dog in by a vet I’ve never seen before in crowes as a regular, her attitude towards me was disrespectful, musnt have the heart to be a vet the way she was acting

I brought my dog to Crowe's clinic for a second opinion because my previous vet couldn't find the cause of my dog's discomfort. I was impressed with how thorough the vet was in examining him and the steps given to treat him. The front staff were friendly and helpful. My only frustration was the 50 minute wait to see the vet. I'm unsure if that is normal practice or a one off occurrence.

Down on holidays from Kildare, at the scenic Lough arrow caravan park, had the misfortune to break my dogs bottle of medication on the second day of our holidays. Was recommend this practice by John and Cath owners of the caravan park. Went in, and from there I was given the medication after they received the script from my vets. Nothing is a problem to them. Dealing mostly with Grainne at the reception, this lady is a credit to her employers, with her lovely smile and making people feel at ease, sadly lacking in a lot of practices these days.I would give this practice 10 stars if I could. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic veterinary clinic. The entire staff are very professional and caring. They take excellent care of our two senior dogs and cat. Everyone is so pleasant and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We always have a great experience with Dr. Tom and his staff. First Class!!

Absolutely fantastic veterinary clinic, I have two dogs and they are always so well looked after for any visits they have ever had in the clinic, including a surgery appointment. The staff go above and beyond to help and always give great advice on how to look after your pet/pets after their visit and especially after any surgery they've had. Highly recommend Crowe's Veterinary Clinic, you're pet/pets will be in good hands for a day visit or a stay over🐶🐶

I give 1 star because you can't give 0 or MINUS 10 As the lady who posted the picture of her dog's stitches we had the same experience with our little cat 2 months ago...😭I wish I took a picture of the wound but honestly it was so disturbing (like the one of the dog) that I prayed for the better and waited for her fur to grow back😞 She's never been the same. I brought her back in 1 month later and asked him (Thomas) to check if the wound was ok, he roughly handled her and said yes everything was fine.Today, 2 months after surgery, and one month after last visit to these butchers, I had to bring her to another vet to remove the 'self-absorbing" stitches... I have the picture of one, the vet had to remove 3 in total...I really hope that now she can heal. 🙏IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET, STAY AWAY!

Absolutely brilliant vets, DrCrowe and his team esp Dr Triona were exceptional. The ladies on reception and the nurse, all wonderfully dedicated to their profession. They looked after our dog like it was their own. Our Maggie got spayed and you can hardly even see where the incision was. Highly recommend and have done so to family and friends.
