Not many vets are so understanding of the fact that you are the…read morenew, and anxious, caretaker of three semi-feral, exclusively outdoor cats, who cannot be brought into the vets for consultation so could the vet please give advice over the phone or recommend some medication that can be bought over the counter! 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.

We have been loyal clients of this veterinary clinic for over 15 years -- but after what we've just…read moreexperienced, I will never go back. While we were away on holiday, our 3-year-old dog, Tod, passed away suddenly and traumatically. I rang the clinic and specifically asked for paw prints and hair clippings before he was sent for autopsy and cremation. These were incredibly important to us -- a small way to hold on to a part of our boy. I followed up again the week we got home, just to see if it might be possible to get a nose print too. I was told someone would call me back. They didn't. I had to chase twice before I finally got an answer -- that he had already been cremated (which I understood), but that no paw prints or hair clippings had been taken either. Then came the excuses. I was told UCD "don't do it," that our dog was "never with them," which is completely false -- our friend personally brought him to Anicare. When our friend brought Tod to Anicare (which they told me to do on the phone) he was informed "We dont deal with dead dogs". Not only was there no apology, but the man on the front desk spoke with zero compassion, as if none of this mattered. It was deeply upsetting and completely disrespectful. What made this worse is that we have four other dogs at home. We were terrified something contagious or environmental had caused Tod's death. When our second youngest began showing similar symptoms -- and knowing Tod had died in less than an hour -- we called in a panic. They told us they might be able to see him later that evening. That kind of delay could have cost us another life. Thank God for Village Vets on Clonsilla Road, who took our concerns seriously, acted quickly, and treated us -- and our dog -- with real compassion. They saw him immediately. It was everything this clinic failed to do. And honestly, this wasn't the first time they showed a lack of care. A few years ago, after our cat was hit by a car, I came in to see her body -- and one of the vet nurses laughed and said, "Yous don't have the best of luck with animals, do yous?" That moment has stuck with me ever since, and now I wish we'd trusted our instincts and left them then. If you want a veterinary clinic that truly cares about animals -- and the people who love them -- I strongly suggest you go elsewhere. For this clinic, it seems like money is the only real motivator. We will never forgive how our family was treated during one of the worst weeks of our lives.

I am sure if they had the equivalent of a frequent flyer program then we must be Gold level at this stage but I guess that is what happens when you have a Cavalier King Charles. The staff are excellent and I cannot speak highly enough of Fintan who Toby attends 90% of the time. He is friendly, patient and from my point of view very knowledgeable about the breed of dog that we have. No doubt that Vets are costly but when you get a dog you should be cognizant of that and be prepared.

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.
