Had an awful experience with this vets. I brought my sick cat in Mon. 10am and the person who saw…read morehim first said it would be best to leave him in. I went out to reception and the receptionist said that did not mean in overnight as"they did not have the facilities" I said the vet said he would be kept in but the receptionist said " there would be nobody here to look after him", "you will have to come back to collect him". I went home waited all day for a call to collect him. I got a call at 6.30 now there was no mention of coming in to collect him. The caller had results of blood and urine tests. He gave me creatine numbers and said it was very high and his kidneys were failing. But even though I asked three times "what were the chances he could get back a decent quality of life" the caller who was a vet would not give me a prognosis. I paused for a second not knowing what to do and the caller said "or will I just go ahead and give him the injection" in this bored voice (meaning to euthanize him). That was the first mention that this illness might be fatal. I asked if there was nothing that could be done for him and he said they could give him fluids. That shocked me because he had been in since 10am and it was now 6.30 and he could have been given fluids much earlier. I said to go ahead and give him fluids. The caller then said they had found bacteria in the urine so he had a urinary infection and that could be treated. Now I was very troubled about the way this practise was dealing with the situation but as it wasn't viable to look for another vets in the middle of what seemed to be a crisis. I agreed to a three day plan where he would be kept in (where I had been told they didn't have facilities) and be treated with given antibiotics. I rang on the Tues and the receptionist went to ask the vet how my cat was doing. She came back and said he is very busy in surgery "you are probably going to have to make a decision" meaning euthanize him. This upset me because I didn't think it was her job to be having that kind of conversation with me. I felt the vet should be having a proper conversation with me. I rang again on the Wed and spoke to a different vet. Now there was no talk about euthanisation he suggested other possible investigations going forward. I asked how my cat was and he said he was alert but quiet. Unfortunately my cat died in the vets on Wed night. I decided to have him cremated and asked them to take a lock of fur. Today I went to collect the ashed at a small clinic belonging to the same practice. When I got the lock of fur it was just a tiny bit of fuzzy hair in a small plastic vial. It looked like a piece of lint you would pick up off a carpet. nothing like the lovely silky black and white coat my cat had. The person at the reception in this place kept asking me the same question and completely ignored my answers. After the fourth time he asked me I said there was no point asked me the same question over and over my answer wasn't going to change. He started to tell me I was upset (gaslighting) which I wasn't I was just getting irritated by his odd behaviour. I felt it was very rude to keep asking the same question over and over. I turned and left with my pets ashes. This experience has put me off vets in general. I'm hoping my cat was treated ok but i'm fear he wasn't. I have a very heavy heart wondering if this is true.

Great people and very accommodating. We left our cats a few times in the morning before going to…read morework and picked them up in the evening no bother, no charge, kitties very happy. That's very handy when you need to get them neutered, since there's no operation at weekends in any vet. We even got a handy nail cutting job free of charge that i've never been able to reproduce that good myself. Price wise they're quite good and are willing to give a bit of discount if you have more than 1 pet.

Whats nice is the fact that its a family owned/run business so it is still the applebys who are involved in the shop and who do all the buying etc its not like one of those shops who have sold their good name on to anyone else. and the owners are very friendly too, not stuck up like you might think some very rich shop owner could be!

I recently had my wife's engagement ring re-set after the stone fell out and was lost. My wife loves the new (bigger and brighter) diamond even better than the old one and while we are sad to have lost the original we're happy with how it ended up. One thing I learned from this experience was that valuable (whether monetarily or emotionally) jewellery should be checked every year or two for wear. They can rebuild or strengthen claws if it looks like they are going to jeopardise your stone - too late for me but maybe it will help you. They told me they recently honoured a gift voucher that was denominated in Irish punts (Ireland switched to the euro almost 20 years ago!) because they figured that even though they couldn't trace back the receipt of the money in their records they trusted the customer and reckoned they had already been paid more than fairly. I should also add that I can't resist haggling a bit whenever I am spending more than a couple of hundred euro (like my Dad before me!). They do that very naturally and good-naturedly.

I always find these pet superstores slightly daunting as there are so many different brands and options but the staff really could not be more helpful. Importantly they are helpful in a nice genuine way and are not pushy or like they are trying to hit a sales target. They have a really good range of pet supplies and seem fairly average on price - they have good monthly deals that they publish in a little magazine. I love that they have a "try before you buy" day where they pick a different food every Saturday and you can get your dog to taste it and see is it to their liking ! Although that sounds really precious and ridiculous healthy pet food is super expensive and there is nothing worse then when you fork out for a big bag only to have the dog turn his nose up at it. So this way you can get a little sample and make sure they will eat it before you buy. They have lots of other in store events like vet talks and advice. Another great service they have is the dog weighing scales - as I have a fat little sausage dog that is trying to loose weight it's great to be able to weigh him without going to the vet You can also make donations in store to animal charities by buying a little extra food or some treats and popping them in the donations bucket for less fortunate creature. On certain days they have rescue pets in the shop that are looking for new homes - I can't visit the shop on those days or I would end up with a menagerie ! All in all this is a great shop with great staff and i certainly won't be going anywhere else

I had my reservations about visiting a pet farm. On one hand I LOVE animals, on the other I hate…read moreseeing them in cages...oh what to do. I figured as this was a "farm" they surely must be out in the open. Good points: It was a fiver in. The staff were very friendly. They have fairy houses, a bouncy castle and lots to keep the kids amused. There were lots of different pets and you can get up close to most of them. They have a llama. I heart llamas. The owner came over with food so I could feed said llama..my life was complete. Bad points: Too many animals stuck in small surroundings. Dead bird in one of the (very dirty) aviaries. Rabbit cages were cramped and overflowing and as there was no outside run attached I'm guessing they never see the outdoors, same goes for other small animals. If you are a kid or parent though you will probably love this place. It's not flash but there is enough to keep the young ones amused for a few hours (indoors and outdoors) and they get to see animals they wouldn't usually. I would have liked it more myself if I had gotten the feeling that the smaller pets get out once in a while to stretch their legs. Sadly I dont think thats the case.
