Receptionists/Office Staff

Derek, Siobhan and Grace are the faces you will most likely see if you visit or hear if you ring.

Dental Services

In addition to the normal cleaning and descaling of teeth we have specialist dental x-rays which allow us to assess your pet's dental health properly. Suzanne, with her extra qualifications, accepts dental referrals from all over Ireland.

Foods

All our nurses have been fully educated on the correct nutritional needs of your pets. These needs can change as your pet ages and also in case of disease – our Nursing team can advise in these situations.
