Village Vets Lusk

Village Vets Lusk operates under the Village Vets brand (via villagevets.ie) and is set up for routine small‑animal care alongside in-clinic diagnostics and procedures. Recent reviews repeatedly mention dogs being kept calm during exams/procedures, clear explanations from vets, and follow-up visits after treatment. Practical touches also come up, such as online appointment booking and staff offering support while owners wait for test results. One recent reviewer, however, reports dissatisfaction with how a very unwell dog was assessed after bloodwork and says they felt judged during the consultation.

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.
