Vickie went above and beyond to make sure we could get a pet passport before even seeing a single coin. Amazing costumer service.

I organised a pet passport with Caravetgroup even though I live in Wales. It was made easy by the clear instructions I received and the lovely people who work there. There are no short cuts to doing the paperwork, just follow Caravetgroup's advice and it all works. I sorted everything through Claire the practice manager who was brilliant. Don't forget to have your paperwork stamped by customs when you arrive in Dublin.

Cannot recommend Vickie highly enough when preparing your dog for the big trip overseas! Even though we were on different time zones and on the other side of the world, Vickie helped us successfully get our dog from Ireland to Australia. She is extremely knowledgeable about the whole process and you will not be put wrong by her. All the staff were very friendly whenever I phoned them and whenever my family members brought my dog in there.

Really impressive, I chose Cara by friend’s recommendation which the previous vets not that good as my expected. Cara is professional, today Dr Eddie gave us a lot of advice and described the conditions to us extremely clearly and detailed, really appreciate and useful to us that we learned a lot on our pet’s health issues.
