Due to sheer wrecklessness and complete incompetence his actions or rather 'inactions' resulted in the unnecessary loss of life of one of my pets. Nothing in this world could ever replace such devastating loss to me in which is something I have to live with for the rest of my life. This vet is purely inexperienced in matters of which he proclaims to be an expert. Even mere 'accountability' was not afforded to me for his own fatal errors. This is not a competent vet on so many levels and far from skilled. His aproach and manner toward pet patient was clumsy, at times rough and over all very blaise. Far too many oversights with regard to imperative medical attention which ought to have been administered and not left to 'chance' of which this vet failed to adhere on both counts and even basic medical standard was exempt of cautionary approach. I deeply regret entrusting my most treasured pets in this individuals care. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I would absolutely not trust this vet and his establishment to anyone. This vet destroyed my life. He ripped away from me the life of my pup and fcuked up my other pet dog. My whole world has been ripped apart by this idiot who should be struck off. This vet FAILED my beautiful little pets. FAILED me. UNFORGIVABLE! Following the needless loss of life to my pup by this vets pure ignorance and incompetence, my second pet never recovered from her ordeal. She has continued to decline and now has 'serious ' life threatening complications arising from the trauma Edward gillic caused. She has immediately changed and not my same dear healthy little pet. This vet is an insult to the vet profession. An insult. No laws and/or regulation in this country, so the 'bad' ones will always be able to continue getting away with malpractice and in turn destroying people's lives forever. He should not be allowed to practice let alone have a licence to claim to own a practice. I hope no one else ever goes through the immense heartache this irresponsible, unskilled nightmare of a vet caused to me and my pets life.

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.

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.

Had an awful experience with this vets. I brought my sick cat in Mon. 10am and the person who saw…read morehim first said it would be best to leave him in. I went out to reception and the receptionist said that did not mean in overnight as"they did not have the facilities" I said the vet said he would be kept in but the receptionist said " there would be nobody here to look after him", "you will have to come back to collect him". I went home waited all day for a call to collect him. I got a call at 6.30 now there was no mention of coming in to collect him. The caller had results of blood and urine tests. He gave me creatine numbers and said it was very high and his kidneys were failing. But even though I asked three times "what were the chances he could get back a decent quality of life" the caller who was a vet would not give me a prognosis. I paused for a second not knowing what to do and the caller said "or will I just go ahead and give him the injection" in this bored voice (meaning to euthanize him). That was the first mention that this illness might be fatal. I asked if there was nothing that could be done for him and he said they could give him fluids. That shocked me because he had been in since 10am and it was now 6.30 and he could have been given fluids much earlier. I said to go ahead and give him fluids. The caller then said they had found bacteria in the urine so he had a urinary infection and that could be treated. Now I was very troubled about the way this practise was dealing with the situation but as it wasn't viable to look for another vets in the middle of what seemed to be a crisis. I agreed to a three day plan where he would be kept in (where I had been told they didn't have facilities) and be treated with given antibiotics. I rang on the Tues and the receptionist went to ask the vet how my cat was doing. She came back and said he is very busy in surgery "you are probably going to have to make a decision" meaning euthanize him. This upset me because I didn't think it was her job to be having that kind of conversation with me. I felt the vet should be having a proper conversation with me. I rang again on the Wed and spoke to a different vet. Now there was no talk about euthanisation he suggested other possible investigations going forward. I asked how my cat was and he said he was alert but quiet. Unfortunately my cat died in the vets on Wed night. I decided to have him cremated and asked them to take a lock of fur. Today I went to collect the ashed at a small clinic belonging to the same practice. When I got the lock of fur it was just a tiny bit of fuzzy hair in a small plastic vial. It looked like a piece of lint you would pick up off a carpet. nothing like the lovely silky black and white coat my cat had. The person at the reception in this place kept asking me the same question and completely ignored my answers. After the fourth time he asked me I said there was no point asked me the same question over and over my answer wasn't going to change. He started to tell me I was upset (gaslighting) which I wasn't I was just getting irritated by his odd behaviour. I felt it was very rude to keep asking the same question over and over. I turned and left with my pets ashes. This experience has put me off vets in general. I'm hoping my cat was treated ok but i'm fear he wasn't. I have a very heavy heart wondering if this is true.
