Dog & Cat Vets in Dingle

## Summary Veterinary Clinic Dingle is a general veterinary practice that, based on reviews, regularly handles urgent cases and surgery as well as routine consultations. Multiple owners describe rapid response for emergencies (including a late-Sunday call leading to the pet being seen and admitted within about an hour) and clear updates during an in-clinic stay after emergency surgery. Reviews also include a sharp negative account alleging rough handling during a neck-vein blood draw (bruising), a missed ear problem that was treated only with cotton-bud cleaning, and a feeling of being rushed through a short appointment—so experiences appear mixed depending on the clinician seen. ## Services Services and situations specifically mentioned in the available information include: - **Emergency care/out-of-hours response** (one review describes being seen late on a Sunday after a serious dog attack, with immediate phone response and admission within ~1 hour). - **Surgery**, including **emergency surgery** with the pet staying in the clinic during recovery. - **Injury treatment** after an animal attack. - **Blood sampling** (from the neck vein, as described in a review). - **Ear care** (ear cleaning was mentioned; one reviewer felt an underlying ear issue was missed). ## People Named staff members are thanked in one review: **Eileen, Claire, Olivia, Brendan and Ursula** (roles not specified), in the context of supporting a dog through emergency surgery and recovery, with the owner highlighting that the team was *informative during the stay*. A separate reviewer criticises a **“junior veterinary doctor”** (not named), alleging poor attitude, rushed appointments, bruising after blood was taken, and missing an ear issue. ## Reviews **4.9 stars from 53 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Fast emergency response:** one owner describes immediate phone help and being seen late on a Sunday, with their injured dog taken in within about an hour. - **Surgery and inpatient communication:** an owner whose dog had emergency surgery says the team kept them informed during the stay and that recovery went well. - **Going “above and beyond”:** one review describes the vets doing more than expected on the day. - **A notable negative experience:** one reviewer reports bruising after a neck-vein blood draw, dissatisfaction with ear treatment (described as cotton-bud cleaning), feeling rushed through a short appointment, and finding costs “sky high,” while another owner reports the opposite impression on cost (cheap compared with the UK).
