Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Donard Clinic Ltd appears to be an independent, vet-owned practice (described that way in client reviews) and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for day-to-day pet healthcare as well as some surgical cases, with digital support available via the VidiVet app for 24/7 vet advice. Concrete details mentioned by owners include: staff taking time to explain a pet’s condition and treatment before proceeding; appointment and medication reminders sent by text; being seen at short notice for a quick treatment; and dogs staying overnight following surgery (including a cruciate ligament operation). Several reviews also mention long-term care and support through end-of-life euthanasia (“final sleep”).
