ANCU Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Newry
Clinic Overview
ANCU Veterinary Surgery appears to run as part of a multi-branch practice under the ANCU Vets name (the website lists more than one clinic), and it offers practical admin features like repeat-prescription ordering. Reviews describe both routine and urgent care: one owner brought in a dog struggling in labour on a Saturday morning and reports the vet identified a life-threatening risk (“moments away from a uterus rupture”), treated the dog and provided aftercare advice. Owners also mention staff handling very nervous, anxious puppies with care. A small number of recent reviews conflict sharply with this, describing a refusal to proceed without prior medical records, which the reviewer felt left their dog in pain.
Services
Based on the website and the latest reviews available to us, owners mention
- •Repeat prescription ordering (website).
- •Help with a dog in labour, including urgent assessment/treatment for a severe whelping complication and aftercare advice (review).
- •Microchipping and vaccinations are referenced by an owner when discussing a dog’s history (review), though the clinic’s own service list isn’t available in the provided site summary.
- •Handling support for nervous/anxious puppies during visits (review).
People
- •David (vet): Mentioned by name in a review involving an urgent labour case; the owner says he was waiting for their arrival, treated the dog, and gave clear aftercare advice including encouragement to call with questions.
- •Unnamed vet/nurse: In the same case, described as welcoming and kind.
- •Reception team (unnamed): One reviewer describes a negative interaction where they were asked to produce prior records from a former practice that no longer exists; the reviewer felt this prevented timely pain relief/treatment.
Reviews
Google rating: 4.6 stars from 169 reviews. “”
- •High-stakes care described in detail: one owner reports urgent intervention during labour, with the vet explaining risks and giving aftercare guidance.
- •Nervous pets: owners mention staff being particularly good with anxious puppies.
- •Efficiency/helpfulness: some reviews describe the team as helpful and efficient.
- •A sharp negative outlier about access to care: one recent reviewer says they were turned away or delayed due to missing prior medical records, and they believed this left their dog suffering—this conflicts with other reports of supportive, prompt care.

The best vets around! Exceptional! The folks here go beyond care and attention not only for the animals but for us owners as well, putting us at ease when worried about our pets. A great team.

Avoid like the plague! Disgusted with this practice allowing a dog to suffer because his medical history isn't available from his previous vet because that vet had a stroke and the practice no longer exists. I explained the dog has no medical history only innoculations and chipping but my word wasn't good enough insisting I get records proving this from a practice I told the uncaring receptionist no longer exists. By pass this place if you really care for your pet, they're happy to leave an animal in pain asking for the impossible, doesn't suggest animal lovers or carers to me. Disgusted.

Changed to this vet after an awful experience with another local vet and only have amazing things to say. My puppy is incredibly nervous and anxious but this surgery is amazing with her, I am always anxious bringing my dogs to the vet after my aforementioned experience but I am so so glad I chose this vet for my family. Great staff

Took my dog down Saturday morning as she was in labour abd struggling, David was there waiting for us and he was amazing, he treated both Riley, myself and my daughter in law with so much kindness and put my mind at ease completely that Riley was in safe hands. I didn't get the name of the lady vet/nurse but she was equally as welcoming and kind as David. I would highly recommend David he is a fantastic vet, he saved my dogs life as she was moments away from a uterus rupture and her puppy, he gave lots of after care advice and not to hesitate to call if I had any questions. I really couldn't fault him at all the service was top class.
