Cannot speak highly enough of the staff in Arra Vets. Brought my dog here recently where he had to undergo emergency surgery. Aoife and Mairead explained the entire procedure to me before he went in, along with the understandable risks from a complicated procedure, and ensured I was aware of what was happening at all times. They kept me up to date even during the surgery and sent me regular updates throughout the night as he recovered, checking in on him out of hours to make sure he was doing ok. He has made a brilliant recovery due in no small part to the skill and dedication of the staff at Arra. The staff understand how important people’s pets are to them and it really shows in the care and attention they give the animals. Highly recommend. Thank you again Arra!

The worst vet in the world. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! We took our kitten to have it checked because he wasn't eating anything. They immediately asked us to pay upfront 350€ otherwise they wouldn't check his health. After the x-ray they said there was something in his stomach, they thought it was a foreign body. They decided to cut open the kitten's abdomen and stomach, once opened they found no foreign bodies, they made a mistake! After this mistake they called us and said that that he has leukemia and needs to be put to sleep forever, after a thorough examination they said that he doesnt have leukemia. They didn't even bother to do all the necessary tests before cutting open the kitten's stomach. They told us to leave the kitten at the clinic until the next day so they could test it to see if it had cancer or lymphoma. The next day they called us again and said that we had to pay €380 for all the tests and the stomach surgery, and said that they wouldn't tell us what was wrong with the kitten until we paid. My wife went to the vet first thing in the morning to ask what was wrong with him and asked them to give her the kitten so she could take it home. She asked them to wait until evening until I finished work and will go to pay the bill. They said that they wouldn't give the cat back until the money was paid and wouldn't tell us what was wrong with him. My wife asked them several times to give the cat back but they refused. I told her to pay and only when she paid they told that the kitten has lymphoma. This clinic are staffed not by doctors but by scammers! They don't care about the health of the animals, they only care about money! They were able to diagnose the kitten's lymphoma only by running a few tests but they first decided to cut open the kitten's stomach just to make the bill bigger, it was a completely unnecessary operation. This is bad behavior, these people don't deserve to work with animals, all they care about is your money AVOID THIS CLINC!

Absolutely the best veterinary clinic I've ever been a customer to. The staff is very professional and with knowledgeable animal caring attitude. Knowing that my cat is in safe hands if anything happens.
