Testimonials

Syd, Tracey, Rosie and all the nurses at Cara care are beyond amazing, they really care about your pets and do everything they can to ensure both your pet and you are happy and reassured... We lived in town for a while and used to drive past numerous other vets with a screeching cat in the car just to get to Cara as they are so good.

Kat Farrell

We brought our dog to Cara vets for the first time on Thursday. Unfortunately our dog was very sick and we put him to sleep. I was very happy and satisfied with the staff and how we were dealt with during this sad time. I would not go anywhere else now other than Cara vets. Thank you again for all you did for us and for Bruce xxx

Will never use another vet practice!! We are unfortunately regulars of Cara Vets & we always receive a service with a smile. Caring & compassionate staff. Cannot recommend it enough!

Lyns McKeown

Cannot recommend Cara Vet Group enough! Syd is fantastic at his job, so welcoming and makes both pet and pet owner feel at ease. Well worth the 30minute drive, very professional.

Alison Lynch

The welcome, care, time and just that personal touch was second to none. I have been to so many different vets over the years and I have never had my dog looked after so well. Would highly recommend.

Hannah Kenny

Amazing people! Thanks for all your help with Roxy over the past few years. You all really go above and beyond!

Bernice Deegan

Birgit Saalfeld

We've been going to Cara for over 6 years with our bunny Biscuit. A lot of places treat anything that's not a cat or dog like an afterthought but Cara have always been exceptional. We had a tough time last year, it was very touch and go but Cara were with us every step of the way and kept us informed. Luckily she came through and is back to loving life! Every time we bring her in she gets 5 star treatment and I always feel confident leaving her in the hands of Jenny, Syd, Tracey, Kirsten, etc. The biggest plus for me is that you can tell they actually all care which is worth its weight in gold. Keep up the good work!

Amy Woods

My teacup terrier was keeping nothing down I was very worried about her. Brought her to Cara Vet in Ballycoolin. They were great as well as sorting out my dog Bonnie, I felt they made me feel welcome and don't only treat your animal.

Audrey Boyle McGuirk
