I highly recommend this vet. He helped me so much with my 15-year-old Shih Tzu, especially at a very difficult time. Unlike some other vets I have seen, he really takes the time to listen and genuinely cares about the animal and the owner. He is patient, understanding and very compassionate. I am extremely grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy vet.Thank you so much.

Best vet in Limerick. Very caring and helpful for elderly dogs. The only vet in Limerick who helped my 15 year old shit tzu as other vets recommend putting him to sleep without even trying to help him first. Thank you Adrian! We are very grateful!

I came into Dooradoyle Pet Clinic panicking because my 11year old little dog was very lethargic, and really not himself at all, I had no appointment, but the veterinary nurse at the clinic was really kind and empathetic as she took mine and my dogs details. Seen very quickly by a very kind Vet who listened to the problem, even though the change was mostly behavioural, my dog was dehydrated and had possibly ingested something that he had no business eating. (As all dogs try to do) Vet put him on an IV right away, as well as some other medication and I could pick him up in the evening, which was a relief to have him home with me, and he was 90% himself again by the next day, and 100% himself again now. Thank goodness, excellent staff, cannot fault them at all! (Obligatory pic of cute dog in question)
