Village Vets Sandyford

Village Vets Sandyford is part of the wider Village Vets network (owners mention being able to book into other Village Vets branches if appointments aren’t available). Recent reviews focus on calm, unhurried consultations where staff explain things clearly and take time with anxious owners and pets. Owners also mention being “fit in” for emergencies, and describe supportive care around procedures and difficult diagnoses (including a pet becoming blind).

Concrete examples from the latest reviews include: booster vaccinations during a consultation where a kitten “fell fast asleep,” a kitten staying in for a procedure and going home “chilled out,” and vets taking time to explain a heartbreaking outcome so the owner understood.
