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.

Safe Pet Ear Care: Follow Your Vet's Advice Before Cleaning Your Pet's Ears

Oct 2nd, 2024

If your pet has been to see the vet and they have been given a treatment plan, you may want to continue this at home to ensure your pet’s ears fully recover. Our guidance on caring for your pet’s ears below is based on post-treatment and after your pet has had a full examination on their ears.

We do not recommend that you clean your pet’s ears if they have not been examined by a vet or nurse. Regular ear cleaning for no reason can damage the canal or cause irritation that can result in further problems.

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.
