DSPCA Veterinary Clinic appears to operate under the Village Vets name (the clinic website and multiple reviewers refer to “Village Vets / Village Vets DSPCA”).

Dublin Bay Vets is a small-animal clinic where reviews frequently describe detailed follow-up and communication (for example, follow-up phone calls after procedures, and a clear follow-up email after a consultation). Online booking and WhatsApp aftercare are both mentioned as part of how the practice runs.

Village Vets Tallaght is part of the Village Vets group. Recent reviews suggest it’s set up for ongoing dog care from puppyhood through to more complex follow-ups, with multiple owners mentioning repeat visits over several years. Concrete examples include: puppy vaccinations with vets taking time to answer questions; an annual/monthly vet (pet health) plan that owners say covered yearly vaccinations and multiple check-ups (including for IVDD); and support around end-of-life care for a dog a family hadn’t previously brought there. While most feedback is strongly positive, one recent reviewer (3 stars) said they didn’t think the professional they saw was very good and were unsure about returning.
