Village Vets Cabra operates under the “Village Vets” brand, with reviews describing a clinic used for everything from routine preventative care to urgent pain cases and end-of-life support. Recent reviewers give concrete examples of quick pain relief and a “watch and wait” approach for a dog that had collapsed, annual cat vaccinations with extra questions addressed (diet and a minor injury checked in the same visit), and staff helping owners through euthanasia. Owners also mention a recently renovated, brighter waiting area with the option to sit separately from dogs.

O’Scanaill Veterinary Hospital is a long-running, independent family practice (founded in 1949) with “hospital status” and modern diagnostic/surgical capability listed on its site. It’s set up for a broad mix of work: routine pet care (e.g., dental care, weight clinics, puppy parties), in-hospital procedures (reviews mention a dog having a procedure with follow-up visits), and medical investigation of ongoing problems (one owner says their senior dog’s chronic ear infections stopped after thorough investigation and treatment). From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly point to: - Thorough case work-ups where issues had been missed elsewhere (e.g., diagnosis of conditions underlying chronic symptoms). - Inpatient care when needed (a dog kept in on fluids, with updates that put the owners at ease). - Supportive handling of end-of-life appointments, described as empathetic and respectful from reception through to the vet.

Ark Vetcare Dun Laoghaire
Dun Laoghaire
Our Score (90/100)
Ark Vetcare Dun Laoghaire operates under the Ark Vetcare brand; one reviewer says the practice changed ownership from a previous independent practice (“Paddy Traynor practise”) to a UK-owned company. The clinic is set up for both routine and complex cases based on reviews describing major surgeries (including BOAS airway surgery in a French Bulldog, a splenectomy, and hernia repair) as well as end-of-life care (including a home visit for euthanasia). Concrete details owners mention include: - Separate waiting/clinic areas for cats and dogs. - BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery discussed as being recommended during a routine check-up, with reported improvement in breathing/exercise tolerance afterwards. - A house visit arranged for euthanasia, with the receptionist coordinating the visit and attending alongside the vet. - Ongoing care for chronic problems (inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis) and emergency surgery for foreign-body ingestion described by a long-term client.

St Francis Dispensary is an independent registered charity (established in 1926) providing veterinary care for cats and dogs, with a focus on offering treatment “at affordable rates” for owners of limited means. The clinic appears set up mainly for routine, day-to-day veterinary care and common procedures (vaccines, microchipping, neutering), supported by in-house blood testing (Idexx haematology and biochemistry machine) and a diabetes clinic. From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: - routine preventive care such as vaccines and weight checks - neutering for kittens, including clear pre-op expectations (e.g., being told a pet may be drowsy after anaesthetic) and specific collection times - staff being practical and non-judgemental with more challenging situations (e.g., calmly assessing a dog wearing a muzzle by asking questions about temperament) - quick admin support, such as sending pet records to another vet “in a second”

Ark Vetcare Kilmacud is part of the Ark Vetcare group and describes itself as providing “gold standard care,” with a dedicated cat hospital and a team of vets, nurses and support staff. In recent reviews, owners most often describe detailed, ongoing case management (for example, months of treatment for a cat’s serious eye issue and long-term control of a dog’s atopic dermatitis), plus strong follow-up (including after-hours emails/phone calls mentioned by one client). Reviews also include one serious complaint around communication about costs and a biopsy/anaesthetic experience, with the owner describing a poor outcome and feeling the clinic was not transparent or accountable.

MyVet Lucan is part of the MyVet group (three clinics) and was originally opened in 2005 as Hermitage Vet Clinic by vet Liam Moriarty; a new veterinary hospital opened next door in June 2019. The clinic has a CT scanner on site, and multiple reviews describe referral cases involving CT imaging, abdominal surgery, oxygen support, and emergency procedures. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention how the team handles urgent and end-of-life situations: getting pets seen quickly, using an oxygen tent for a cat in respiratory distress, and giving families time and privacy to say goodbye. Several reviews also mention keepsakes after euthanasia (paw prints/nose prints and fur), including personalised cards. There is a clear split in owner experiences around pricing: one recent reviewer alleges a major dispute over what was agreed for an operation and describes unexpectedly high costs, while other reviewers describe staff discussing what is necessary now vs what can wait to avoid surprise expense.

Village Vets Coolock appears to run a pet plan (mentioned by an owner with three dogs on it) and is frequently described in reviews as a clinic that takes time to answer questions and explain procedures and costs before booking. Recent reviews mention cat and dog appointments, including spaying, and some owners specifically note staff handling nervous dogs well. Feedback is mixed on cost and end-of-life care: one recent reviewer describes being quoted €500 for bloods/tests for a very sick cat and paying €222 for euthanasia performed by an intracardiac injection after IV access couldn’t be achieved, and they say they were not allowed to be present for the procedure.

Raheny Veterinary Hospital is a long-running small-animal practice used by some owners for decades, with reviews describing both routine care (annual check-ups, vaccinations/medications) and quicker-turnaround visits for sudden concerns (for example, being fitted in the same morning for a dog with balance issues). Several owners mention supportive end-of-life gestures (a candle lit in reception when it was time to say goodbye) and practical help beyond booked clients (taking in a very sick stray cat, with one reviewer saying they weren’t charged). Recent feedback is mixed on the front-of-house experience: multiple reviews praise the team overall, while a couple of recent 1-star reviews allege rude reception interactions and raise concerns about cleanliness and pricing.
