Ark Vetcare Foxrock operates under the Ark Vetcare name (a wider clinic brand rather than a single-vet practice). Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for routine care and ongoing case management, with some owners highlighting strong communication and follow-up, while others report concerns about diagnostic thoroughness and cost for more serious or complex illness. Concrete details owners mention include: - Follow-up calls after an appointment to check how a dog was doing. - Support through end-of-life care, including careful discussions and a sympathy card after euthanasia. - Practical, detailed guidance during consults (including kitten nutrition advice). - Some owners alleging misdiagnosis (including a cat with visible fleas and a sick dog case that required further tests), alongside complaints about being steered toward paid plans.

Amy Lara Vet Clinic is a general veterinary practice that multiple reviewers describe as feeling “normal” rather than corporate. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear, unhurried communication (taking time to answer questions and explain options), clean facilities, and active follow-up after visits (one owner says the clinic called the next day and again a week later). Several dog owners report returning with multiple pets over years, including one review describing two occasions where the clinic “saved” an older dog’s life and improved her quality of life, and another noting a nervous dog is calmer because of a friendly receptionist.

Lusk Vets operates under the Village Vets group (as referenced on its website and in reviews). Recent reviews describe a practice geared toward routine care and ongoing condition management, with owners mentioning a vet plan, blood testing with results discussed while waiting, and dental cleaning with follow-up. Online appointment booking is also specifically noted. Feedback is mostly positive, but there is a clear conflict: one recent reviewer describes concerns about a seriously ill dog being reassured after a €250 blood test and an antibiotic, later dying; other reviewers describe thorough exams, clear explanations, and pets being kept calm during procedures.

Concrete specifics mentioned by owners include: - Blood testing with results discussed during the visit (one review cites a €250 blood test). - Dental cleaning followed by a follow-up appointment. - Booster injections at a return visit. - Online booking for appointments.

Other recent owners describe unhurried appointments (“never feel under pressure”), good care for an older dog, and gentle handling during treatment for a cat’s leg injury.

Village Vets Lissenhall is part of the Village Vets group. Recent reviews suggest it’s set up for routine appointments and ongoing care (clients mention being with the practice “for years” and staff “explained everything well”), alongside more complex cases such as orthopaedic surgery (a dog had shoulder surgery involving a metal plate, with aftercare and regular check-ups discussed). Owners also mention a small-animal health plan, and that the team has been adapting to a temporary setup while a new building is awaited. Feedback is mixed: many owners describe careful, kind handling (including compassionate support during euthanasia), while a small number of reviews raise serious concerns about missed diagnosis and communication/consent around major surgical decisions.

Fox Veterinary Clinic

North Dublin City

Our Score (82/100)

4.5(126 reviews)
Independent Clinic
Treats:
dog
cat
bird

Fox Veterinary Clinic is a family-run small animal practice. Based on its stated services (in-house lab, diagnostic imaging, surgery, dentistry, laser therapy) and multiple reviews describing very unwell dogs being treated quickly with ongoing aftercare and contact, it appears set up for both routine care and more urgent medical work. Review experiences are mostly positive—especially around clear explanations and end-of-life care—though one recent reviewer alleges their cat returned “in a worse condition” and calls the clinic “money seekers,” which conflicts with the broader tone of the other reviews. Concrete specifics mentioned by clients and the clinic: - Vets are repeatedly described as talking owners through options, including pros/cons of treatment for older dogs. - Several owners describe euthanasia appointments handled with time to grieve and without feeling rushed. - One owner reports “continued contact throughout the few days” and “aftercare service” during a serious illness. - Out-of-hours emergency cover is stated as available, including an on-call emergency vet on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
