Raheny Veterinary Hospital – Vets in Raheny
Clinic Overview
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.

I cannot speak highly enough of Raheny Veterinary Hospital! Wonderful, caring and genuine people who care deeply for animals. I brought my cat Ginger here until his death at 18 a few years ago. They cared for him so well throughout the years and when it was time to say goodbye they light a candle in reception out of respect. I found a stray cat outside my house and Raheny veterinary hospital was the only vets that would take it in. They didn't charge me and actually thanked me for bringing in the stray and very sick cat. The staff here really care, thank you for everything!

Changed my opinion on this clinic, it has really gone down hill in all aspects pricing, professionalism, cleanliness, currently looking for a vet that actually run a clinic for the love of animals not the love for money. The receptionists are actually so rude here, not very polite to customers at all.

I was warned to take my dog out of this vets a long time ago, i didnt listen. The veterinary nurses are so lovely but the receptionists are so rude with no manners if you catch them on a bad day! Honestly the stories im hearing about them after my interactions the last 2 weeks, I only have myself to blame, on top of that the place is scruffy, cobwebs everywhere, animal piss dried in in most corners (looks rarely cleaned) and id say it hasn't seen fresh paint since it opened 40 years ago...go see for yourselves

You know what it means to take care of an animal that is part of the family... Besides, if you have to understand the problem quickly... We are the "slaves of a wonderful kitten Talpottina. We had a problem: she was limping And we had to figure out how to help her. At the clinic they really know how to help. For us it was fundamental and decisive to the problem. Thank you all for your help. Asja Masuelli thank you

Excellent service and friendly staff. From the reception staff to the vets themselves. I know my dog is getting the best care here. I couldn't recommend them enough in this practice. Have used for many years and will continue to do so.

I’ve been taking my dogs here for probably thirty years. I’ve always been very happy. This morning my dog was a little bit drunk on her feet. Her balance was well off. So I rang the lads. They fitted me in that morning. I was seen within five minutes of the appointment. Sweet and much more importantly the dog is grand . A little fever but she got her shot and tablets, thanks lads. Much appreciated.
