At Blackrock Veterinary Clinic in Dublin, our aim is to provide excellent care for our patients and their owners at all times. We believe in providing the best medical, surgical and preventative health care for your pets, all delivered in a warm, welcoming and personable environment. Compassion at all times for you and your pet is a priority. Our surgery opens daily from 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday, and 9.30am to 12:30pm on Saturdays, with patient clinics held each morning, afternoon and evening. To minimise waiting times and improve efficiency we do operate an appointment system and would ask you phone ahead for an appointment time. However, we do strive to see all pets on the day, if required, and of course we will see your pet as a priority if they are urgently ill or have an accident. Outside of our opening hours there is full dedicated emergency cover for your pet.

1. Location: Choose a vet that is conveniently located near your home or work. This will make it easier for you to schedule appointments and visit the clinic in case of emergencies.
2. Clinic hours: Look for a veterinary clinic with flexible hours that can accommodate your schedule, including evenings and weekends if possible. This will make it easier for you to bring your dog in for regular check-ups and any necessary treatments (flea, tick, worming, etc.).
3. Services offered: Make sure the clinic offers a wide range of services, including preventive care, diagnostics, surgery, dental care, and emergency services. This will ensure that your dog receives comprehensive care under a single roof.
4. Experience with your dog's breed: Choose a clinic who has experience treating your dog's specific breed, as some breeds may have unique health issues that require specialized knowledge and care.
5. Communication: Find a vet practitioner who is easy to communicate with and takes the time to answer your questions and address your concerns. A good vet should be patient, compassionate, and willing to educate you about your dog's health and care.
