Fox Veterinary Clinic
North Dublin City
Our Score (82/100)
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.

Park Lane Vets is a modern, clean clinic led by a vet repeatedly named “Mary” in reviews. Owners describe a practice that takes time with cases (including spending over an hour attempting a microchip appointment) and is willing to try non-medication approaches where appropriate (“not jumping to medication if it’s not needed”). Reviews also mention acupuncture sessions for an elderly dog, in-clinic blood tests during a cat consultation, and support around end-of-life care (including a condolence card after a pet’s final day). One negative review says the team struggled to handle a shy/anxious cat for microchipping despite multiple visits and sedatives, while another clinic completed the same procedure calmly.

Animal Welfare Veterinary Clinic
South Dublin City
Our Score (79/100)
Animal Welfare Veterinary Clinic is a companion-animal practice that says it has been operating since 1983. The website states that out-of-hours emergencies are handled by Village Vets (as named on their site), rather than in-house. From owner reports, the clinic is regularly used for routine care (cat vaccinations are mentioned repeatedly) as well as procedures under anaesthetic (a review describes a dental clean and nail trim done under anaesthetic). Several reviewers also describe the team working deliberately to keep anxious cats calm and to get vaccinations done quickly to reduce stress. Feedback isn’t fully consistent: alongside long-term clients describing good diagnosis and support for ongoing or serious issues, one recent reviewer describes a long wait, feeling their dog wasn’t properly examined, pain relief not offered until pushed for, and an incorrect follow-up call about their pet having died.

Cherrywood Veterinary Clinic
Loughlinstown
Our Score (75/100)
Cherrywood Veterinary Clinic describes itself as having over 30 years looking after pets’ health, with experienced vets, nurses and support staff, plus an online shop and a Pet Health Club® membership option. The website explicitly mentions care for dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. From the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: many highlight timely appointments and questions being answered, and name specific vets/nurses who were gentle with cats. A smaller set of reviews raise serious concerns, including a vet being rough handling a cat, a missed lymphoma diagnosis, and a perception of pressure toward longer-term treatments and higher prices than other clinics. Concrete details mentioned by reviewers include: - Vaccinations, blood tests, and management of pancreatitis (including prescription diet food). - Dental problems being treated. - A wide range of issues over time (“broken legs to every small illness”). - Support with end-of-life decisions and arranging private cremation (as described by one owner).

Lucan Veterinary Hospital is most often described in reviews as a long-running practice for both dogs and cats, with owners citing quick access for appointments and emergencies, and vets who explain options clearly. Several reviews mention serious illness being treated successfully (including a very unwell cat “brought back to full health” and a dog that owners say the team “saved”), and the clinic environment is described as clean and comfortable. There is, however, a conflicting report from one reviewer who says the clinic was “permanently closed” after confirming a major operation, with no notice or alternative offered.

Priory Veterinary Centre is a general veterinary practice that directs out-of-hours cases to the Pet Emergency Hospital. Recent reviews show a split: several long-term dog owners describe staff taking extra time with anxious or “not compliant” dogs, while a couple of 1‑star reviews raise concerns about clinical decision-making and boundaries between reception and veterinary advice. Concrete examples mentioned include a vet visit for a dog’s first appointment, ongoing care over multiple years, and one complaint that a cat’s neuter status wasn’t confirmed by physical exam and “exploratory” surgery was suggested.

DSPCA Mobile Unit is part of the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (a charity rather than a corporate vet group). Based on the website, it’s set up as a mobile vet clinic alongside wider animal-care services such as neutering, dog training, doggie daycare, a pet hotel, and a pet memorial garden. From the latest reviews available, experiences are mixed: some owners describe helpful staff and strong support around taking in animals or adoption (including “aftercare service”), while others report serious concerns about adoption transparency (animals allegedly going home sick or with undisclosed issues) and one review describes being advised to stop feeding abandoned cats.
