Such an incredible veterinary clinic! Our dog had a massive tumour taken out recently by these vets and they have been incredible throughout the entire process. It’s so clear that the vets deeply care about the animals on a personal level! We have been going here for many years and they have been a pleasure to deal with every single time. We cannot thank them enough for their hard work and patience and we will absolutely continue to come here for all of our pets.😊

Fond memories of this clinic. I have moved counties recently, hence having to use a different vet clinic. And man do I miss this Athlone clinic. They were very knowledgeable, and took good care for my pet cat and for my pet rats too. It was the first vet clinic to whom I could fully trust and expect honest results from.

I was in recently and Linda was absolutely amazing, so caring and professional with our 2 doggies even for just routine vaccines. Have been going here for nearly 10 years, always great service but first time meeting Linda and she made our experience exceptional. Thank you.

I can’t recommend this vets enough. They are extremely caring and thoughtful when it comes to minding your pets. My dog went in for surgery and Denis + Linda did an amazing job; she is happy out and moving as if she never even went in! They both phoned me to update me and explained everything in detail and helped my nerves as she had to be sedated and it panicked me a lot. She also got spayed 2 months ago and recovered extremely well from it. The staff are great in there and you can tell they really love their jobs. Thank you all again!
