Just moved into the area when my dog took a turn, Pat was fantastic. He was able to tell me things about my dog no vet ever did! One lifetime loyal customer achieved. Incredibly knowledgeable and makes sure you are not put on the most expensive drugs when not needed. Thought my wee dog was a goner but 3 injections later and she's like a new wee dog. Pat was so kind explaining the road ahead so I know to make the best time I can with what I have left. I really couldn't rate this vets higher!! A+++++

Highly recommend Glengormley Vets! Pat is truly exceptional and clearly has a deep passion for what he does. When my puppy was recently diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia, Pat delivered the news with so much compassion and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. He went above and beyond by personally reaching out to a surgeon on my behalf, which took a huge weight off my shoulders during a very stressful time. He’s also very affordable and never makes you feel like you’re being taken advantage of financially. I couldn’t be more grateful for his care and support. Guinness also has no fear going to the vets and loves the treat he gets at the end.

Wonderful, caring people. Recently needed help with an injured stray cat we’d been caring for. Unfortunately her injury was extensive and chronic so we sadly made the decision to have our poor wee Dinky put to sleep 😢 Miss her so much even though we only had her for a short time. Pat and Joanne were so supportive, compassionate and caring through the sad process. Would like to thank them both so much. Would also like to say that Pat took the time to explain everything thoroughly to us to give all the information we needed before making our final decision. We weren’t rushed and he kindly left us alone to talk. Would highly recommend any pet owner to check this place out. They truly care about animals and their owners ❤️

I recently had to get my dog euthanised. Joanne and Pat were so kind and caring. I really felt supported from start to finish. They even sent my family a card which I felt was so thoughtful. I will definitely continue to use them for my other dog.
