Ollie is an old dog who is very nervous when visiting Ark always. He was treated by Lisa who wasn’t at all daunted by his show of aggression. This aggression is not his normal demeanour. He is usually quite docile. It is very comforting and reassuring as the owner of a sensitive pet to have someone as confident and capable as Lisa attend to Ollie.He may have a few years left and it would be great to have this continuity of care with Lisa if possible. Thank you again to ark for such wonderful care and service.
Vet is friendly, caring and professional, seen to last minute as I was super worried about my dog. Lady at reception was very nice and super quick to answer our call and accommodate us straight away! Thank you!
I attended Ark Vetcare for 14 years with my beloved Charlie. Charlie is gone now and it is hard to put into words how wonderful everyone in Ark has been to Charlie, and me, over all these years. He had a number of ailments including inflammatory bowel disease and bad arthritis, apart from many other things such as eating bits of wood which got stuck inside him and had to be surgically removed, twice! Through every little thing Ark attended to him like he was the most precious animal in the world, which he was to me! He had a wonderfully happy and charmed life and a lot of that was due to Arks attentive care ensuring that he was pain free and on the right meds and getting the right treatment. They are a caring, professional and very empathetic team. Thank you Ark, especially to Lisa Henley who was Charlie's primary vet. Thank you Paul for running such a great practice, thank you Bri for looking after my claims always so promptly, thank you Carol, Julie and all the wonderful and kind nurses, I'm sorry I can't remember everyone's name but I owe you all a huge debt of UPDATE!!! After an absence of 2 1/2 years , I’m back with Ark and my new (older lemon10 year old) dog, Mindy. Mindy had a lesion on her spleen and a big lump on her abdomen. Spleen was removed and what turned out to be a hernia, repaired. So major surgery! I everyone in the practice was wonderful, just as I found with my last little angel, Charlie, whom they cared for for 14 1/2 years. Shauna is so kind, empathetic and ever so gentle. She took expert care of Mindy and now my Mindy is like a new dog! The care before, during and after her surgery was just the best! As well as that, I really have never seen anything like the stitching job Shauna did ! The incision was huge, all along Mindy’s abdomen and seriously, it is invisible! Shauna could easily have a second career as a high end seamstress in a haute couture fashion house! But I would insist she stay with Ark as a vet! 😃 so thank you, thank you and thank you again to the whole Ark team and in particular the wonderful Shauna. 🌺👏♥️ Read Less
My beautiful girl had to be put asleep 3 weeks ago. I had her 13 years. She was a very special dog. Over that 13 years,she was so well looked after by Ark Vetcare Dun Laoghaire; from the very efficient girls on reception to Paul and all of his colleagues. I knew by looking at Jasmine that day that she was really unwell so I called Ark Vetcare Dun Laoghaire. Julie,on reception,was so understanding and empathetic and arranged for Vet Leah, to do a house visit. Julie, knowing me as a client of the practice for many years,kindly accompanied Leah on her visit. On looking and assessing Jasmine, lying listlessly on my bed, we all knew what the best,and kindest course of action for Jasmine was. So,on 25th April, Jasmine closed her eyes for the last time, with me at her head, petting her and telling her how much she was loved,and Anto scratching her tail end (which she always loved!),Leah gently and professionally,gave her an injection,and she went to sleep. Her passing was so peaceful. I will never in my lifetime forget the kindness, compassion and empathy shown to us that day by Leah and Julie. Jasmine was in the very best of hands in Ark Vetcare Dun Laoghaire for all of her life,and,most especially,on her last day. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,Leah and Julie. Kind regards, Sylvia Bailey
Best vet practice in Dublin. The staff is very friendly and the facilities are great. Our vet, Shauna, is amazing at her job and she has a deep passion for animals. They have looked after our 4 dogs for 2 years now, providing yearly boosters and general health checks. 2 of our dogs have gone under surgery with Shauna and things couldn’t have gone any better. Would recommend them 1000% any day of the week!
