Rathmines Veterinary Hospital

One of the hardest things my husband and I have ever done was take our much, much loved Toy Poodle Milly to Rathmines vet yesterday to have her put to sleep. We’ve had many dogs put to sleep over the years, but never have we received care like we did yesterday. The compassion was beautiful and all the staff were so caring.I’d recommend Rathmines vet to anyone wanting a caring, knowledgeable vet, with lovely staff. Every time we took Milly to him he explained everything in detail and also explained, step by step what he was going to do. He made a horrible visit tolerable and treated us and Milly in a dignified, loving way.Thank you again David, Lucy and the other staff for your care and compassion on what was a horrible day.

We regularly visit Rathmines Veterinary Hospital with our pup, Arlo. We started visiting as early as Arlo’s vaccinations and attended puppy school.As a puppy he has managed to get into all sorts of mischief but Dr David and all of the team are always very knowledgeable and professional, the best part is they take great care with Arlo which we love.

Our greyhound got a very, very nasty stomach bug this week. The team at Rathmines Vets were fantastic in their treatment of her and in explaining the condition to us. They treated her as an emergency patient in the morning and then later that day when we had to bring her back. The visits that day caused a lot of inconvenience to the staff but they dealt with it so well and made us feel that our girl was in great hands. They also called us several times to see how she was doing with her at-home treatment both on the day and afterwards. We are very grateful for that , and that we could bring her in as it was a very scary experience!Before this horrific week, we have brought our dog in twice, and another dog in our family has visited a couple of times. The staff have been caring, patient and attentive on every occasion. Thank you!

The best. Kind and knowledgeable and there when we need them.

Rathmines vet are like family to us. They are kind, considerate and consultative.

My dog needed emergency surgery and Rathmines veterinary hospital were able to get me in straight away , actually within 30 minutes of my phone call to the vet .The staff were delightful and pleasant .The vet was amazing and got my fur baby straight in and he was terrific with my dog .I recommend the service and waiting time non existence.. I was surprised by how quick the problem was resolved.However if I have one issue , it would be the cost .For a surgery that has been done before by another vet the cost this time was near triple the cost last time from $800To a whopping $1800 .Service and wait time could not ask for better but the price could be more reasonable for everyday people , we can't all afford those prices and in an emergency you feel a little cornered you want help for your pet but not sure how you will afford it is not a nice feeling.You feel like your heart string is being pulled to your purse string ...

Such amazing staff. So kind, full of Knowledge. Will absolutely go back there. My Pup loved the ladies and even though he was having his nails done, they left him on the floor so he didn't freak out and he gave them loads of kisses and cuddles.

I have a really difficult cat. She's really hard. So even taking her for her yearly vaccination and brafecto is a nightmare. I travel 20 minutes, as they look after her there....
