We will be forever grateful to the team at Veterinary Specialists Ireland, Summerhill, especially James Dunne, for the care they gave our beloved Luna. When we brought her in, she couldn't walk due to a burst disc in her back, and we were absolutely heartbroken and terrified of what the future might hold. The kindness, reassurance, and expertise shown by the entire team helped us through one of the most stressful times we've experienced as pet owners. Thanks to their exceptional care, Luna made a wonderful recovery and is back enjoying life again. She is a huge part of our family, and we cannot thank the team enough for giving us our happy little girl back. ❤️

Brought my lovely Ekkie boy here. Sadly he was too far gone to do anything. The staff at Summerhill made us both feel welcome and looked after. I had come in late since I’d been on the road for at least three hours. The Veterinary team is top notch, incredibly kind and supportive. Bobby is an incredible vet that has an obvious love for avians and all animals. I knew my Forest was in the best hands. Cannot fault it. Many thanks again to everyone there. ❤️

Veterinary Specialist Ireland took such good care of our dog Luka. We took her there after an emergency referral, and no more than 4 days later she was home. Thank you very much for looking after her so well and all your support.

I have used Veterinary specialists Ireland a few times over the years and have all always been pleased with the care my dog received. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. One of my dogs is currently under the care of the cardiologist there, Jenny. Jenny is so lovely and kind to Rodgers and to me, she explains things really well and is taking great care of him!
