Best Vets in North Dublin City – Complete Local Guide

Bull Wall Veterinary Clinic is presented on its website as aiming for a compassionate standard of care, and the latest reviews describe a practice that handles day-to-day pet care as well as more complex situations. Owners mention long-term support over many years (including end-of-life care for a dog), and also describe the clinic treating species some other practices declined—such as a guinea pig. Several reviews give concrete examples of decision-making that prioritised the pet’s needs over rushing into procedures (trying home management first, then proceeding to surgery when needed) and fitting patients in quickly when the situation changed.

Clontarf Veterinary Clinic is part of Anicare Vets and is certified by the Practice Accreditation Board of the Irish Veterinary Council. Based on the information available, it appears set up for both routine care and urgent problems: reviewers mention being accommodated at short notice, stabilisation for a serious injury (bandaging and medication), and referral onwards when needed. Owners also describe specific practical touches such as a separate side-door option for dogs that struggle around other animals, and follow-up contact after an urgent visit to check how a pet was doing.

Dublin Bay Vets is a small-animal clinic where reviews frequently describe detailed follow-up and communication (for example, follow-up phone calls after procedures, and a clear follow-up email after a consultation). Online booking and WhatsApp aftercare are both mentioned as part of how the practice runs.

Most recent reviews highlight compassionate support in difficult moments (including euthanasia) and thorough, question-friendly consults. One detailed 1‑star review strongly disagrees with the clinic’s handling of a complex brachycephalic respiratory case, alleging expensive testing, surgery, and missed/insufficient treatment; this conflicts with many other reviews that describe careful investigation and good outcomes.

Concrete details mentioned by owners include

• •Follow-up phone calls after visits/procedures and a written follow-up email.
• •WhatsApp aftercare support after a spay.
• •Coordination/hand-off of records to another veterinary practice during a pet’s transfer of care.
• •A clean, calm clinic environment noted by multiple reviewers.

Village Vets Cabra operates under the “Village Vets” brand, with reviews describing a clinic used for everything from routine preventative care to urgent pain cases and end-of-life support. Recent reviewers give concrete examples of quick pain relief and a “watch and wait” approach for a dog that had collapsed, annual cat vaccinations with extra questions addressed (diet and a minor injury checked in the same visit), and staff helping owners through euthanasia. Owners also mention a recently renovated, brighter waiting area with the option to sit separately from dogs.

Village Vets Coolock appears to run a pet plan (mentioned by an owner with three dogs on it) and is frequently described in reviews as a clinic that takes time to answer questions and explain procedures and costs before booking. Recent reviews mention cat and dog appointments, including spaying, and some owners specifically note staff handling nervous dogs well.

Feedback is mixed on cost and end-of-life care: one recent reviewer describes being quoted €500 for bloods/tests for a very sick cat and paying €222 for euthanasia performed by an intracardiac injection after IV access couldn’t be achieved, and they say they were not allowed to be present for the procedure.
