We recently moved here from the US, with our eclectic menagerie. We did research to find the best vet service for our needs. It's a bit of a drive for us, but totally worth it to have our feathered friends taken care of! Great experience all around! Read Less

Very professional high quality Vet Hospital with lovely staff who really cares about the the animals. The price might be high but they will take care of your loved one. They also specialized in Rabits, reptiles and birds. Highly recommend to everyone. Read Less

All I can say is thank you. You saved my baby girl naga. Without the care and constant updates you gave my fiancé and I, I would have gone mad with worry. Thank you so much for everything. I'm so happy she's home and safe. She ate the second she was put back in her Viv and her babies where very gentle when we took them out of their own Viv to say hi to mammy. I've felt awful the last few days to the point of crying on the phone to you guys and you did everything you could so she could home to us. Thank you. Read Less

Claire and all the staff here are so nice and extremely well trained with small animals. Have taken a multitude of small pets here including hamsters, rats and rabbits and they were so brilliant and kind. Also know from past experiencethat bairbre is fantastic with birds! Read Less

Bairbre and her team are the only vets, and I mean only vets, that I trust with my guinea pigs. Regardless of where you live in Ireland, if you have an exotic pet who needs specialised care, the trip to Bairbre is absolutely worth it. Read Less

Really disappointed with my Vet appointment. Paid €115 and had to go to another vet to get some assistance. It came across very clear that your priorities are adding services and unnecessary products to customer bills. Read Less

I bring my Budgies Sky and Rio to Bairbre if ever they are unwell, I could not trust anyone else to handle them - only Bairbre as she is an expert at what she does. I will not go to any other vet... Bairbre knows best when it comes to my Budgies : ) I highly recommend her to everyone who is an animal lover like me! AlisonRead Less

Bairbre O'Malley has got to be one of - if not THE best vet in Ireland. She and her team has on several occasions tended a fragile chinchilla back to full health, so whenever there are problems with the pets, I'll always make it to Bray... Read Less

Superb rabbit-savvy professionals! My two bunnies were spayed here and they recovered pretty quickly. (I have an other rabbit who was spayed in a different country; she suffered a lot after the operation, her recovery time was three weeks because her shaved belly was srubbed with inadequte skin disinfectant...) Here, a modern and humane surgical technique was used (so no E-collar after operation...) and my bunnies were active on the second day. I am fully convinced that my bunnies received the best possible care. Thank you! Read Less

Really truly great service! My vet recommended that we go to Bairbre O'Malleys as my rabbit was very poorly and we thought she wouldn't make it. Met with Claire and Sonia and they were just super nice people. Claire was amazing, she knew exactly what was wrong with my bunny and how to help her. Have Fudge home now with all her meds and fingers crossed everything will be fine now. Thanks a million, this means the world to me. Read Less

this is a very friendly and professional veterinary surgery.  I brought my pet rat here last week as i thought she was suffering from something called bumblefoot which it didn't turn out to be.  But the staff here had no problem dealing with my little pet, no shaking of heads as to how someone could love a rat or nervous of being bitten!They are very used to exotic pets and handled her with an expert touch and she is slowing getting better.  She didn't bite them either.The price here is a bit steep but other vets that i had phoned didn't want to see a pet rat either because they are not familar with their needs or afraid to overinject??

I can't compare this Vet with any other vet in Ireland, as I've never been to other Vets in this country.But I have a long history of "going to the Vet" in my home country of Germany. And I've been at dozens of them there, good ones, bad ones and even "alternative" ones.We Germans are known for the fact that we think that our health system (for humans that is!) is among the best in the world. And that's probably true, it is surely true when comparing it to the Irish "system" (which is the forecourt of hell).But back to animal health:the day I brought my pets to Bairbre's Veterinary Hospital for the first time, I realized that this is (*Jeremy Clarkson voice on*) probably one of the best Vets in the world (*Jeremy Clarkson voice off*).The place even has a certain "glam factor":Bairbre is known to TV viewers for her appearances in the Irish TV show "Animal A+E". She is a lecturer in Dublin's DCU Veterinary faculty. And she is specialized in "exotic animals" (mind you, in Ireland, that includes Guinea Pigs...).But besides the fancy stuff, what makes this place so special?- ProfessionalismAll three Vets working here (Bairbre, Lindsey and Una) are among the best you can find.- Price:I do not know if other Vets in Ireland are cheaper. But you do get very good value for your money. And they are not more expensive than any Vet I've been to in Germany.- Friendliness:Be it the people at the reception or the doctors, everybody is super-friendly here. Even though most of the time you have to go to the Vet, you won't go there for fun, I have to say that I like being there.- Specialties:Especially if you have any other pet then the usual dog or cat, you can be assured that your animal is in the right hands there. People with "exotic" animals drive long distances to be there (we surely do, we drive all the way from Sutton!).It is also very cool to wait there and see people with bearded dragons, turtles, crows etc... . Once, there even was a person from a wildlife park with a sick falcon!- Cats & Dogs:even cat and dog owners should drive that extra mile and find out what makes this place so special. We recently got cats and even though any given Vet might handle them with experience, we took no risks and went to Bairbre - and feel that our animals are in the best hands possible. Read Less

Best Vet I ever went to - be it in Ireland or Germany. Specialised on exotic animals, but also very good with cats and dogs. Bairbre lectures at DCU and is presumably Irelands most famous Vet. And no, this doesn't reflect in the charges. Read Less
