"If you can no longer care for your pet, please reach out"

Hi Everyone,

Not a usual post from me but....

Over the past few weeks, we have been deeply concerned by the number of abandoned animals being brought into our clinic by kind-hearted members of the public.

Just today, two young puppies were found on the Cork Road, dumped in a cardboard box in the middle of the road. They were frightened, vulnerable, and heartbreakingly close to being struck by passing traffic. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident.

As veterinary professionals, we are seeing more and more cases of animals being neglected, abandoned, or left to fend for themselves. While our team works tirelessly to care for every animal that comes through our doors, situations like these are completely preventable.

If you do not intend to breed from your pet, please consider neutering. Responsible pet ownership includes preventing unwanted litters and ensuring that every animal has a safe and loving home. The cost of neutering is far less than the emotional and physical toll suffered by animals that end up abandoned.

We are incredibly proud of our staff, who consistently go above and beyond to provide care, comfort, and second chances to animals in need. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism make a difference every single day. However, credit is also due to the members of our community who stop, help, and bring these animals to safety rather than turning a blind eye.

If you find yourself in a situation where you can no longer care for your pet, please reach out. We would much rather help find an appropriate alternative home than see an animal abandoned, neglected, or put at risk.

A shoutout to the many rescues around us who do this work day in and day out.

Animals depend on us for their welfare. Together, we can do better.

All the best,
Tara

** REHOMED **

Our Mammy cat from yesterday's kittens is also looking for her forever home.

Initially came into us as a stray, but is very loyal once she gets to know you.

Could be tamed as an indoor cat but also loves her outdoor time.

Has been spayed by us.

If interested, please contact Tara or Carmel on ((022) 22340 or send us a DM.

** REHOMED **

We have 2 kittens looking for their forever homes.

They have been rared in the clinic with their Mammy for the last few weeks and are now ready to go.

They are currently 6-7 weeks old.

If you are interested, please contact Tara or Carmel on (022) 22340 or DM our page.

We would ideally have them gone before the weekend.

🐾 Tick season is here — and prevention is key! 🌿

Ticks can carry serious diseases that affect both pets and people, so it’s important to stay protected all year round. Regular tick prevention, checking your pet after walks, and keeping grass trimmed can all help reduce the risk.

Be especially mindful after walks in long grass, wooded areas, or fields. If you find a tick on your pet and are unsure how to remove it safely, our team is here to help.

We have a client looking for someone to temporarily look after her doggy for a month as she has to travel abroad for family reasons. She is currently looking for the following:

"Hi, Looking for another foster or temporary home for the month of May, or full adoption to the right home, great dog! Coco, 7 yrs old female, choc lab x collie, tidy medium dog, fully housetrained, all vaccinations, chipped, spayed. Loves to relax and sleep indoors, loves walks and/or runs in the country or park, not used to busy city walks, gets excited and a bit hyper aware when first meeting new people and dogs but settles quickly, doesn't scratch at doors, waits at home quietly,knows how to sit, give paw, lie down, pretty good on lead and won't lie on bed unless her blanket is on, very trainable lovely dog, I'd take her back if no permanent home found but I need to travel for the month of May for family reasons so I cannot continue to foster her (I have no info on her with cats) she came from a family with kids but has been moved around foster care for a few months, she's been with me for 3 months , she is a beauty 😍 "

Our Easter Opening Hours 🐣

🐣 Easter Safety Reminder for Pet Owners 🐾

Chocolate treats may be fun for us, but they can be toxic and even life-threatening for dogs, especially dark chocolate. Keep all Easter eggs and sweets well out of reach.

🌸 Cat owners, please be extra careful: lilies are extremely dangerous, and even small exposures (pollen, water, or leaves) can cause severe kidney failure.

If you suspect your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t, contact (022) 22340.

Wishing all our clients a safe and happy Easter 💛
