Blackrock Veterinary Clinic

At Blackrock Veterinary Clinic our aim is to be the best vet in Dublin and its surrounding areas. We provide excellent veterinary care for dogs, cats and other small animals.

We believe in providing the best medical, surgical, and preventative health care for your pets, all delivered in a warm, welcoming and personable environment. Compassion at all times for you and your pet is a priority.

Our surgery opens daily from 8am to 7pm Monday to Friday, and 9.30am to 12:30pm on Saturdays, with patient clinics held each morning, afternoon and evening. To minimise waiting times and improve efficiency we do operate an appointment system and would ask you phone ahead for an appointment time.

However, we do strive to see all pets on the day, if required, and of course we will see your pet as a priority if they are urgently ill or have an accident.

Outside of our opening hours there is full dedicated emergency cover for your pet, all details of which are on the After-Hours link below.

Opening Times:

Monday - Friday (by appointment): 8am - 7pm
Saturday (by appointment): 9:30am - 12:30pm

After Hours

We open until 7pm each evening and until lunch-time on Saturdays. However, occasionally your pet may need treatment after-hours (sudden illness, accident, poisoning etc). MyVet Lucan now provide our Out of Hours Emergency Service. Staff are on duty all night, at weekends and on bank holidays.

Poisonous food for dogs: The dangers of Xylitol in everyday food

Treats and Hidden Threats: Protecting Your Dog from Xylitol Poisoning

We love sharing the good times with our dogs, and sometimes that means indulging them in a special treat from time-to-time.

However, together with the fun, it's crucial to be aware of hidden dangers that can be in seemingly harmless snacks. One of those dangers is xylitol, a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener in many everyday products, which is perfectly safe for humans, but extremely toxic to dogs, even in small amounts.

Taking care of your senior pet

The silver years: Special considerations for senior pet wellness

Our pets bring us countless moments of joy and unconditional love throughout their lives. As they enter their senior years, however, their needs can change. They may become less energetic, require adjustments to their diet and environment, and be more susceptible to certain health concerns.

Understanding these changes and making adjustments to their care routine is essential for ensuring their continued happiness and wellbeing in their golden years. Senior pet insurance can also play a valuable role in providing financial security for their potential future veterinary needs.

Danger in the deep: Blue-green algae and dog poisoning

Jul 25th, 2024

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, and many of us enjoy spending time outdoors with our pets, however, on the surface of ponds and lakes can be a hidden danger: blue-green algae. While not all algae are harmful, blue-green algae (also known as cyanobacteria) can produce extremely dangerous toxins and be fatal to dogs.

At Blackrock Vets in Dublin, we want to ensure you and your dog have a safe and enjoyable time outdoors, so, here's what you need to know about blue-green algae and how to keep your dog safe.
