Our retriever puppy got herself into a risky situation after ingesting something that could have been life-threatening. We’re deeply thankful to Michael and John for their incredible care, calm professionalism, and genuine empathy throughout the ordeal. They went above and beyond to make sure she was okay. We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after her. All the best from Río who is making a great recovery already 🐾

Gabrielle Foy's behavior was very rude to me and my dog. She didn't even say hello to us. When my dog wanted to kiss her she pushed him away with her hand and her facial expression was horrible. She was not friendly at all. We will never go to Sandymount Vet clinic again.

What a great experience from scheduling, the visit and leaving… I was able to get an appointment within days, which us so rare and upon entering they treated our “Brisket” (Boxer) so well and like family. This relaxed him and he took his vaccines like a champ!! Phenomenal staff and extremely caring doctors!!

My kitty Djali had the best experience with Dr Orla so far! She’s lovely and kind! The whole appointment was very good, she answered all of my questions and concerns. I’m delighted to suggest Sandymount vets!

Top rate Animal Hospital, the staff at Sandymount always take exquisite care of my cat, Leo. Always there if you need an appointment and the doctors (esp Dr. John) are always patient, clear, and kind. Very highly recommend Sandymount Pet Hospital, as do all pet owners I speak to. Solid 5/5 stars ❤️
