MiNightVet Kildare

"Updated 21/03/2023. Your reply to this original post is utterly wrong. I never refused sedation at all for our dog nor would I. I was of the belief until this post that our dog was sedated and we were charged for same. Both the vet and the person whom we picked him up from referenced him needing time to come around from having been sedated. (That’s is completely false). I refused the additional X-rays and blood tests for our dog as I was going to my own vet for follow up in the days after the visit to you. I understand you are going to defend your business but the facts are our dog has had to return to the vet to be sedated again and re stitched with proper stitches. My understanding is that you took no responsibility for a poor service. Furthermore you have my details on file should you wish to contact me to discuss it. Very disappointed with the service. I attended on St Patrick’s Day understanding that I would be paying more than a normal day. Our dog had an injury that needed stitches. My feeling is that It was very much about the money and Incremental charges. In hindsight when the vet was adding up the cost before looking at the dog, I should have known better. The stitches came out after three days and when I phoned back I was referred back to my own vet to fix it.. They had no interest. So all in all I would not recommend using this service. We are now back at our own vet to have our dog stitched again, now with correct stitches."

"My dog was getting constantly sick and hadn't drunk or eaten anything in over 24 hours. Called them and they told us it would cost 180 euro for the visit (Sunday evening) which is fine. We went there for the time they told us and there were two people in front of us. We waited an hour and I wasn't sure if they needed to check us in or anything as nobody talked to us. I asked the vet if she knew when my dog would be seen and she started ranting about being too busy, that she wasn't even supposed to be there that she was supposed to have finished at 7pm and she hadn't even seen her kids and she was trying to get out of there. I just left and won't be bothered going back."

"Our dog was having a seizure due to a brain tumour at 2am. She was in immense pain. Every local vet gave this number to call. There wasn't even a dial tone when we called. The phone wasn't even connected. It took 2 hours to find an alternative vet that would take us. Our dog was euthanised at 4am. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves."

"Due to a Canine issue, I had to use the services of MiNightVet based in Grey Abbey. I found the level of care given to the dog to be of the highest standard. The staff were professional and respectful towards both the dog and my wife and I. The compassion shown by the on call Vet Jesus when we had to make the hard decision to end the dogs suffering was greatly appreciated and the dog passed very peacefully."

"I'd rate them 0 stars if I could. They're just a money grabbing business that don't care about animals. We had a stray cat that we fed. When we had a closer look at the car we saw an open wound on it. It was a weekend night and we called minight vet only to be told in the 1st opening statement that it was going to be expensive. We were then told we'd be given a call back which was over 12 hours ago. Still no call back. Do a degree in veterinary studies, I'd Imagine it would be quicker and cheaper than seeing minightvet kildare."
