Wicklow Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Wicklow Town
Clinic Overview
Wicklow Veterinary Clinic is a purpose-built, modern practice offering medical, surgical and diagnostic care for a wide mix of animals (dogs, cats, small furries, horses and farm animals). The clinic advertises a dedicated 24/7/365 emergency service with an in-house vet on call, but it’s restricted to registered clients. Owners also mention ongoing chronic-care visits (for example, regular steroid injections for a dog) alongside routine appointments.
Review signals are mixed: several people describe friendly, helpful reception and vets, while others raise strong concerns about cost (including a €93 visit described as under five minutes) and a few serious complaints about missed/late diagnosis and lack of follow-up after making a complaint.

The cost to bring your pet to the vet is astronomical now. €93 for a visit that lasted less than five minutes 😔

I brought my cat there after seeing him having some issues. They treated him 2 weeks for the wrong symptoms, did several tests on him and he still wasn't improving. At the end the doctor there said she will refer him to UCD cause he has no lack of appetite (I explained that that was not the problem, but the effect of the problem). She said that the cat could be constipated and she wanted to make an X-ray to confirm, cause she wasn't sure. That would have put so much more stress on my cat's life...I took him to another clinic and the doctor there told me in 3 hours what he had. Unfortunately, even though he was transferred to UCD Emergency, he passed away before starting treatment for his condition. I cannot help but think that those 2 weeks that the doctor wasted could have saved my cat's life. I made a complaint to the clinic about the issues and 2 weeks later no message or call from them. I spent more that 500 EURO with them but they did not care. Very very disappointed. I would avoid at all costs.

My cat Zack was brought to Wicklow Veterinary Clinic after a severe episode of breathing difficulties. By the time we arrived, his condition had improved, which understandably made diagnosis challenging. However, within a few days, he took a sharp turn for the worse. We rushed him to another veterinary clinic, where they quickly identified fluid around his heart. They attempted to remove the fluid, but sadly, he passed away the following day. I can't help but feel that more extensive testing at Wicklow Veterinary might have led to an earlier diagnosis and potentially a different outcome. The second veterinary team was able to determine the likely cause of the fluid buildup based on our description of his symptoms, and then confirmed it with a scan. This leads me to question whether the veterinarian who saw my cat at Wicklow Veterinary had sufficient experience. He seemed very young, and I'm left wondering if that played a role in the missed diagnosis. While I understand that veterinary medicine can be complex, I'm deeply saddened by the loss of my cat. We miss him so much.
