Stay away from this vet! I had a terrible experience when I was doing work experience one summer…read more Richard wasn't very approachable for me and he was a bit too impatient, short-tempered and stern for my liking and not very outgoing to customers. In my experience, he came off as stand-offish, abrupt and rude to customers. I haven't seen him be confrontational before, but I have seen him be abrupt and aloof and act disinterested in the customers. I don't feel like I learned a lot from him personally, even though I came here to do Animal Care roles so I could learn more, I was stuck doing all his personal and irrelevant jobs that had nothing to do with veterinary. I feel like he was using me for unpaid, manual labour, which were not my responsibility to fulfil, e.g. taking the rubbish out, doing laundry, shopping. In other vet clinics I've seen, the staff split the load, but generally the owner doesn't pass off any personal chores on employees like that. Richard was really taking advantage of me and not even paying me even a €10 tip for my effort. Not to mention, there's absolutely nothing to do there and he's not very easy to talk to or get along with. The worst bit was definitely when I was fostering a little dog for him, she was a very nervous dog so I was been careful to watch her and keep a close on her. But, she got out anyway. But, I still moved mountains and was out until after dark looking for her because I was afraid something happened to her. I'm disappointed Richard didn't tell me she arrived back at the Vet Clinic within an hour of escaping from my house, because it left me fearing for her safety and my parents felt exactly the same way. He should've told she was safe and sound rather than waiting the very next day. He's also completely in it for money and not for the animal and he makes customers have to get cash to pay him rather than having a card machine on hand. It puts a lot more pressure and stress on the customers. Don't go to this vet, there's plenty of other vets around the town, go to McGraths, Cu Chulainn's, Quilters, any of them, stay away from Hurley's.

Brought my dog here to be groomed and would never again go back. I specifically asked them not to…read morecut my dogs hair as I bring him to shows. It took them 9 hours to groom him and when I went to collect him his hair was absolutely butchered, ribs of hair in places and very short on other places. Not only did they do a very bad job and go against my wishes to not cut him, they sedated him TWICE and the dog was very sick for 2 days after, throwing up and barely able to get up at times. He is still not right after it. Was quoted €45 on the phone for a full grooming including ears, eyes, nails and anal but got there and they tried to charge me €180 as Hurley himself tried to say that it was €45 to wash him and ears, nails etc were all extras.. WHAT A JOKE! Would never ever recommend anybody to go here as they have ruined my dogs hair and made him very ill. Very disappointed and mad.

We have been going to McGrath Vets for the last 13 years with my dog, Pongo and they were all super…read morenice and friendly. Eugene and his father have always been supportive nice, caring and friendly to us and they move mountains to make sure our dog is healthy, happy and in good condition at all times. Very professional at all times and they always give us the honest truth in a reassuring and calm manner. All the staff there are very friendly and caring. The clinic still feels warm, friendly and neighbourly to this day. I really miss their old clinic cat, Nina, always relaxing in her bed behind the counter or climbing up the shelves and pottering around on the floor of the clinic, set the tone for how pet-centred and how friendly they were. Although, I do miss not seeing her around anymore, the welcoming and friendly atmosphere remains strong. I think the pricing is very good here and you can very much tell Eugene, his father and all the staff care more about animal health and wellbeing than they do about money. We're happy to have such lovely and kind vets for our dog. The waiting room and the surgeries are always so spotless and well-organised. So, thank you to all the staff there for thirteen years!!!
