My wee Lhasa Apso Red loves all the girls at Vets for Pets in Carrickfergus. He has had a few ill-health issues in the last 6 months and every member of the team have been brilliant with him. He sits like a wee angel and let's them do whatever they want, no muzzle, no growling. Me on the other hand he won't sit for eye drops and would bite the hand off me lol. I truly appreciate all they have done and continue to do for Red. I highly recommend them 👌

They were very efficient from booking appointment and then arriving. The staff were very friendly and informative regarding my dog Bonnie . Always use Vet for Pets . Though would be nice if they could reopen the practice in Larne . Where we live but we'll continue to visit them .

A couple of weeks ago, during the last storm, storm Amy, I had to take my German Shepherd to be pts. When I first made a call I got a really nice, polite and sympathetic girl on end of phone. She explained that due to the weather they would be closing early, but if I could get there before 5pm then that would be fine. I explained that I could not lift my dog into car and would have to wait for my son to finish work and I would ring to let them know if I could make it or not. So when I rang back at half 4 to say that we where on our way, the person, who was different from the first, was rude and abrupt and seemed put out when I said that we where on our way. Arrived at vets at a quarter to 5. We were ushered into the examining room by a grumpy receptionist called Lindsay. The actual vet, was lovely and give us time with our dog and said that there was no hurry to leave. When I asked the vet if I just paid at reception she said that I could pay now or pay later. I wanted to pay then. As I left the surgery I was greeted by Lindsay, when I said that I wished to pay there and then, she put her hand on my shoulder and said rudely will I just send you an invoice and practically pushed me out the door! A couple of days later we were sent an unitemised invoice for £385. That was for cremation as we could not bring body home and obviously drugs. When I went to pick up ashes about four days later, the receptionist, who told me she was new was really lovely and sympathetic and seemed to genuinely care. She also asked if £385 was correct. Said I didn’t know but would like an itemised invoice to see exactly how it amounted to that amount. She printed an invoice of but it was not itemised, so she took my email address and said that she would get them to email me one. Paid the amount anyway. Haven’t heard a word back from them! Not very professional and don’t think I will be using them again in future!

Staff were just about OK. Cost was insane. Spent less than 5 minutes with the vet, got given ear drops for the dog and was charged £100 for the pleasure. £50 for the ear drops, which are available online for £16. So the Vets for Pets charge 212% the retail price for medication. Stay well away and find an independent vet that doesn't take the p***.

Visited Vets for Pets Carrickfergus this afternoon. Came away a bit annoyed as I had wanted a seniors MOT for my 10 year old springer. The Vet asked me to show her the growths on my dog! She didn’t come across very interested she didn’t even check his weight!, Surely as a professional she should have been thoroughly checking my dog over especially at the price they charge! Very disappointed in the service. The vets they had in the Larne practice were so pleasant and came across as having a genuine concern for your animal.
