Just had another thorough check up for my mini Schauzer, Jessie. We've been using Portmarnock Vets for 4 years now, since she was a puppy. I love their holistic approach. They don't push unnecessary vaccinations or too many booster shots, and are fans of the titre testing whereby they will test your dog's level of antibodies first to see if they actually need further vaccination boosters. Jessie was also neutered here, and the whole process went perfectly. They also provide non-toxic natural remedies wherever possible for certain common ailments. I live in central Dublin, so yes, it is a bit of a trek to drive out to Portmarnock, but it's well worth it to get the best care. Highly recommend!

Brought my precious dog here three years ago as we were looking for a naturopath who would also be a qualified and experienced veterinarian. The experience has exceeded our expectations and we haven't regretted the decision .

I have been a client with this clinic for 5 years. I recently brought my dog there for a consultation regarding dental treatment. I was quoted €865 plus possible extras for grade 2 plaque removal under aesthetic. I in addition paid for the consultation. The vet was to get back to me regarding a 2 step payment plan as this procedure was not covered under my insurance. They never got back to me. Please note I had the very same procedure carried out today by another highly professional local veterinary clinic for €425. Needless to say I will not be using this clinic again in the future.

I would give a higher rating if I could. The care and attention received at Portmarnock Veterinary Clinic was excellent. Fiona was able to make this the most stress-free vet visit my cat has ever had, without needing to sedate her, which I haven't experienced elsewhere, and she thoroughly discussed the options for my cat's complicated case. Thank you so much.
