Best Vets in Dundalk – Complete Local Guide

Healthy Pets Veterinary Clinic is an independent small-animal practice founded in November 2010 and led by Anna Orlow (MVB). The clinic describes itself as fully equipped for in-practice diagnostics and treatment, with facilities including digital X‑ray, ultrasound imaging, a dental scaler, and an in-house laboratory. Reviews most often focus on how the team handles anxious dogs gently (with owners noting their dogs aren’t afraid to attend), and on end-of-life support—one review describes being given time with a pet, receiving keepsakes (fur and paw pictures), and a sympathy card afterwards. One recent review strongly criticises the clinic for “refusing helping pets,” which conflicts with the many positive accounts of care.

Ancu Veterinary Surgery’s ownership/group isn’t stated in the information available to us. The clinic website mentions the ability to order repeat prescriptions, and reviews describe it as set up for routine care and emotionally difficult appointments as well as surgery—specifically spaying and end-of-life euthanasia.

Decision-relevant specifics owners mention include

• •Making space at very short notice for a euthanasia appointment when another vet “let [them] down last minute.”
• •A vet explaining the process gently and clearly during end-of-life care and giving the owner time to say goodbye.
• •Post-op care after a spay described as “amazing.”
• •Staff being helpful on the phone (“so obliging when you call”).

Avenue Veterinary Hospital provides consultations and medical care for companion animals, including small animals and exotics (guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds are explicitly mentioned), and states that 24/7 emergency care is available. The website also references a paid “Pet Health Club® Plus” plan that includes consultations.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe vets who make pets comfortable during consults (for example, a cat check-up where the cat was kept at ease) and long-term continuity of care (one owner describes care for their dog over 13.5 years, including support at end-of-life). However, a minority of reviewers report serious concerns, including alleged misdiagnosis and feeling the practice prioritised money over care; there are also mixed comments about front-desk experience.

Bridge House Vet Clinic appears to run as an independently described practice (no corporate group ownership is stated in the information provided). Reviews suggest it’s a busy clinic that handles routine consultations (for example, check-ups for a new lump) and procedures such as dental work (a tooth pull was sought by one owner). Several owners describe vets and staff taking time to listen, offering space for questions, and handling dogs gently during examinations. However, there are also serious negative accounts that conflict with the positive feedback—most notably, an allegation of being refused urgent care because the pet wasn’t a registered client, and a separate complaint about a mistaken diagnosis that led to a recommendation for euthanasia.
