Terenure Veterinary Hospital is part of the South Dublin Vets group. The clinic’s website highlights practical admin options like online appointment requests and prescription renewals without an appointment. Recent reviews describe a practice doing a lot of routine companion-animal care across a pet’s whole life, with multiple owners mentioning long-term relationships with the same vet (particularly Mark) and support during end-of-life visits. Reviews also include a specific complaint about pre-op communication and billing expectations around a cat neutering visit where surgery did not go ahead.

Services

Based on the website and latest reviews, owners mention

  • Prescription renewals without an appointment (via the website)
  • Neutering / sterilisation (cats)
  • Sedation (mentioned in the context of a cat neutering visit)
  • Ongoing care for older pets (examples include a 15-year-old dog and senior cats)
  • End-of-life care (owners describe empathetic support during final visits)

People

  • Mark (vet; role not explicitly stated, but repeatedly referenced as the clinician seeing pets)

  • Owners describe him taking time to let nervous or elderly pets settle in the consult room (e.g., giving a 15-year-old dog “space and time”).

  • Multiple long-term clients credit Mark with helping senior cats live well into old age, and being gentle on final visits.

  • Wider team (unnamed)

  • One cat owner having a sterilisation surgery says the team explained the process clearly and were reassuring at drop-off and pick-up.

  • A contrasting review describes not being told key possibilities in advance (that neutering might not be possible due to an undescended testicle), and only receiving information at collection.

Reviews

4.8 stars from 516 reviews. - Long-term client relationships: several reviewers mention using the practice for many years (including 20+ years) for multiple pets.

  • Handling of anxious/older animals: owners describe pets being given time to settle, and senior pets receiving ongoing support.
  • Surgery experiences are mixed: one reviewer reports a smooth cat sterilisation with clear explanations and good recovery at home; another reports a cat neutering visit where no surgery was done, the cat was sedated, and the owner felt misled about what would happen and what they were paying for.
  • End-of-life support: multiple reviews mention empathetic care during final visits and difficult decisions.
