We adopted a dog from Dog’s Trust last week and got in touch with Donnybrook Vets as they came recommended. They were so helpful with setting him up on the pet plan and he had his first appointment yesterday. The vet was lovely and so thorough and helpful. The girls on reception made such a big deal of him and he loved it. Highly recommended, looking forward to our next visit. Their practice is also gorgeous

I've been visiting Donnybrook Vets ever since I got my first dog Millie just over 2 years now and I've 2 amazing dogs with them. The care and attention both dogs get with Úna and her incredible team is second to none. They've gotten to know each of my dogs so well and know how to work with them without stressing them out and one of the dogs is incredible anxious about everything so it says alot 😅 we love the team at Donnybrook Vets 🥰 this is Eevie after her visit today when she was already feeling so much better after being in Niall!

Una, Liane and the rest of the team are brilliant. Easily the best vets going (they care). Poppy has been seen at the last minute before closing a couple of times of late (thanks be to Jesus I have pet insurance)and they gave their time❤️

I cannot say enough about this practice. I have a very high level of expectations when it comes to veterinary care for my senior dog who has had her share of issues, and I’ve never felt so heard and supported as much as I did after finding Úna & company. I am consistently blown away by their work ethic, knowledge base, passion, and patience with their clients. The practice itself is always sparkling and appointment availability has never been an issue. I feel like I have a medical support network for my dog no matter what comes our way and could not be more grateful they moved to Donnybrook :). 6 out of 5 stars.
