After several years of paying a monthly fee to cover vet visits for my cat, I was appalled at the…read morecharges that would have applied had I gone through with euthanasia and cremation at Village Vets Dundrum. Up until that point, my vet visits had been covered. But for the final consultation with a vet, the charge was going to be 160 euro. Cremation and euthanasia would have been 344, with a required "cremation package" of an additional 380 euro minimum for a paw print of the cat and a "casket" or paper container of ashes. The total cost for euthanising my cat would have been about 780 euro. This approach to end of life care for my cat seemed to be the epitome of taking advantage of a vulnerable pet owner. The independent vet down the street will charge me less than half that for a cremation with ashes returned. If I don't want the ashes returned, the cost will be 130 euro (and perhaps I will make a donation to the DSPCA). Corporate vets have the means to build shiny premises and hire advertising agencies to write slogans that include terms like "family" and "village" and "care". I have no complaints about the nice young vets who work for Village Vets, although I never saw one who had more than 10 years experience, which would indicate that this corporate is hiring young vets who they can pay less. Still, for anyone seeking a vet I would NOT recommend Village Vets. Look past the bells and whistles of corporate gloss and find an independent vet, if at all possible.

It made me quite angry to feel that money was the priority over helping get a fluffy friend from the kennels.......................... Im sure the vet is excellent but having my own business I know how important first impressions are and that attitude on the phone is not the way to make someone choose your service.........................

Last year I brought my cat to Darragh O'Hanlon. He diagnosed conjunctivitis with eye drops as…read moretreatment. When after two weeks there was no improvement I brought the cat to Mark Heffernan on Whitehall Road and he immediately said the cat had Entropion where lower lids turn in on eye causing painful friction and ulceration if not corrected and ultimately blindness. Only an operation would correct. One eye that was shut closed was already ulcerated. He said it was a straightforward diagnosis. Mark did the operation the following morning, I had to keep the cat indoors and treat with tablets and drops for a month. Thankfully he made a full recovery. My cat suffered intense pain for two more weeks than he needed to. There's a lot more to this sorry tale but the nub of it is as outlined. I found the attitude of this vet and his boss, Tom to be arrogant and unprofessional. They 'stood over' the diagnosis and treatment.

When I did bite the bullet and brought one of the cats in, he hyperventilated and so nearly did I. The vet was amazing; she calmed us both down. I make the trek out here (in traffic, it can take a while to cross the city) every few months to stock up on the cats' flea medication. Whatever money I've handed over in the past year to this practice, they've given me back almost as much in free over-the-phone consultations and peace of mind. They've also offered to do house calls, which are double the cost of a normal consultation but it's a good option to have.

She replied, "Ah god bless you". I was absolutely appalled by her manner and tone on the phone, she seems to forget that it is still a business she happens to be volunteering for. The Vet was equally as nasty, showed little to no compassion for my dog. I'm afraid he is past his expiration date in terms of his career. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. There are plenty more vets who do not give you this sense of inconsideration for your business.
