I brought my 1-year-old cat in for a check-up due to a heart murmur, and I had a really positive experience. The reception staff were lovely and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The vet took the time to explain everything clearly and talked me through the different options available, which I really appreciated. I felt well informed and reassured throughout the appointment. Would definitely recommend this vet practice!

Brought our pup here for his 2nd jab a while ago. - Not informed of prices before hand - lead to believe he needed kennel cough pill Stung with a bill over 100 quid for just a second jab, a kennel cough tablet.. It’s put us off ever coming back which is a shame because the reception staff is friendly

We have been with Rathgael vets for nearly 4 years, my in laws for many many years. A small but really attentive vets, my wee dog has no issues going for any of his needs. Even the annual vaccination doesn’t bother him. Staff are warm and friendly, communication is excellent via phone and text. I do recommend the health club programme, saves a lot of money throughout the year.

I took one of my cats here for a dental surgery a few weeks ago. I was super nervous but she was in good hands. Here at this vet everyone is so kind and professional. Dr Stuart was caring with my scared cat, and he paid attention to every details what i have mentioned and he explained every step very clearly. I felt really supported during the whole procedure. We both give 5/5 for the service! Thank you 😊
