Northern Ireland Veterinary Specialists

Our dog Archie was very ill recently and was treated by the team at NIVS. The level of care he received from Aidan, Grainne, Claire and the team was exceptional - we could not recommend them more highly. They were also excellent at keeping us informed during a very stressful time. Archie is fully recovered thanks to this amazing team!

Our 9 year old black lab Sam was struggling to get a breath and was in great distress. Sam was transferred from Cromlyn House to NIVS and where diagnosis was confirmed that Sam had laryngael paralysis, a life threatening condition. Ciaran performed tie back surgery and saved our Sam's life. Within 12 hrs Sam was up and out to the toilet and was starting to get a bit hungry. He was handfed meatballs and was doing so well that he was ready for home less than 24hrs after surgery. Our family, Sam and Bella the puppy can't thank you enough for saving his life. He is doing brilliantly and tolerating food and drinking well. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to Cromlyn, MiNight Vets and NIVS for the care and love you gave Sam.

Fantastic service, staff are friendly, welcoming and professional. Vets are outstanding and made my feel included and informed before making any decisions on my animals treatment. Thank you!

Referred to NIVS from St Elmos in Derry. First class experience from our initial contact to discharge of our miniature schnauzer BONNIE following severe soft tissue trauma with a collapsed right lung from an attack by a dog. NIVS used innovative approaches to surgery and treatments, communication was excellent throughout. Really good teamwork between all the services on this site, which was very reassuring, special thanks to vets Steven, Sophie and Rob, veterinary nurses Grainne, Bronagh and colleagues who communicated clearly to us twice a day. Bonnie is now well on the road to recovery despite the life threatening trauma she suffered.

First time using NIVets ….. exceptional care from arrival. Vet explained everything thoroughly in away we could clearly understand. We were able to ring day or night for updates on Harley’s recovery postoperatively…. All staff were kind and caring. Vet call personally everyday. A fantastic pet family.

When my dog yogi required an operation recently, the care he received was fantastic, no question was too much. I would not hesitate to recommend the clinic and staff to anyone.

Phoned NI vets about 3 little birds that we found that had fallen from their nest and they were more than happy to help us. They let us bring the birds to them and they would make sure they were looked after and would let us know how they would get on. I would definitely recommend them!

Can't thank enough for the NIVS team especially Alison who was dealing mainly with Yoda and my hundreds of questions but never felt I wasn't listend to. Even so he might didn't look that ill. The difference on him is huge. He is getting back to his happyself week by week. Thank you for the whole team for your hard work!
