I've been attending here with my dogs for several years and can assure other owners that their pets will receive excellent treatment from all the vets here. They also keep close to appointment times and I've never been left waiting for more than five or ten minutes. I usually come earlier than agreed and wait in the car park, they sometimes see me early.

Brought my little man Max to the clinic a few weeks ago when he was feeling unwell. The staff were extremely helpful and quick to put my mind at ease that Max would be ok. One of the assistants in particular that I spoke to was really friendly and answered all the questions I asked! Super service!!

Not happy and will not recommend. Over charged and misled over the phone, which is worse. Left my dog to kennels for 2 nights and charged for 3. €37.50 for 2 nights, Left in 6pm wednesday collected at 11.00 friday morning as instructed. Was told by staff the owner now charged for each day not night. I will be informing the hotel that recommended them. I feel i have been robbed.

Wonderful, knowledgeable vets, caring , friendly staff all around. Thank you so much for your help and for all the good you do, especially helping with TNR programs. My most recent visit was today with my mommy cat and her two babies. It had been suggested by a different professional that perhaps they were infected with FIV or had leukaemia, but a simple, inexpensive, quick test revealed that they are suffering with neither of those two terrible diseases. Just a simple dose of flu. Again, thank you so much. And i highly recommend your expert advice and caring manner with which you handle the animals.
