Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t recommend this practice highly enough. They were recommended to me by other vets, and from our very first appointment through to the last, the care has been exceptional. The vets have been thorough, compassionate, and completely committed to doing all they can for my dog’s health. They always took the time to explain things clearly and treated her with real gentleness and respect. In the more difficult moments especially, their compassion, sensitivity, and support really stood out. The reception team are equally wonderful, always welcoming, helpful, and personal in their approach. You’re never made to feel like just another appointment. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and kindness shown to us and our dog throughout.

Fantastic experience: My dog Franky developed an eye ulcer the evening before and I was away from home with Franky so I rang Well pets and straight away they took him in and they contacted his regular vet for medical history and treated him right away. I've since had him back to his own Vets and am pleased to say he has made a full recovery so thanks very very much for your service. I definitely recommend this establishment.

Fantastic experience: Best Vet Clinic in Sligo-Leitrim. Update in 2026: For the care your cats deserve, this veterinary practice has no equal in the North West. Consistently excellent.

Carol Beuttell Posted on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend The Well Pet Hospital. The staff at Reception are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. Leo, my 9 year old schnauzer, is receiving excellent care. The clinicians are very caring and explain all necessary procedures with me step by step. I hate leaving Leo in the hospital but i know i am leaving him in the best possible hands.

Kurt Barlow Posted on Google 5 months ago

Positive experience: I have been attending the wellpet hospital for the past 18 years & they are at the top of their game. They are transparent, Straight forward & very professional. The only negative I would have (& this is not a reflection on wellpet but all vets) is the extremely high prices for procedures, medication etc. I feel this needs to be looked at given the times we are living in now. A reduction in cost, pay in installments etc would be a massive help to the consumers.

Fantastic experience: One of our kittens got really badly sick. Local vet was trying to help us, but she lost 50% of weight stopped eating and was getting worse and worse. Thanks for huge patrience from The Well Pet Team our kitten gets better now, regained weight, started eating and getting better in overall. I got many follow up calls from clinic so they are truly caring and definitely loves pets!

Lorraine Gwyn Posted on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: My diabetic husky Roxy was very poorly yesterday, couldn't get hold of my emergency vet. Contacted Wells Park and Darren said to bring her down straight away. I have to see Darren was fantastic and tried hard to save my girls life. Sadly she passed away this morning at the age of nearly 10. Can't thank Darren enough for going above and beyond so late in the evening (midnight). He stayed with my very sick baby until the early hours and was back in the surgery for 6am, am grateful my poor girl wasn't alone. Thank you Darren

Kathleen Nairn Posted on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The absolute best Vet experience I have ever shared. We have had a few reasons to visit here, with routine operations and emergency ones. Our little ones have been brought back to life with genuine loving care from the staff here. They are efficient and to me, value for money.....you can never put a price on the life of your family pet. There are a few parking space directly outside and to the side of the building, but there is also a very large car park across the road. Very approachable and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: The best vet in Sligo, very compassionate and respectful staff. Feel confident in bringing all of our family pets (dog, fancy rats, guinea pigs, mice) here when we can’t get an appointment with a exotic vet. Knowledgeable people who research all treatment options and are greatly helpful. Genuinely excellent practice with modern ethics and perfect professionalism. Happy to trust a vet closer to home with our beloved pets Highly recommend them.

Ann Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first visit there but found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Their concern for animals is obvious. Also impressive that they can carry out bloodtests and give results in 15 mins. This saves time spent waiting and worrying and helps diagnosis and prescription. I'll be going back when my dogs need their care.

Edel Kernan Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Professional, supportive and helpful staff. Had a late evening emergency with my dog and my own vet was not available so had to travel to Sligo. Couldn't recommend them highly enough, both myself and the dog were treated with care, everything was well explained so I understood the process, the follow up both later that night and again in the morning by the staff was delivered in a caring and friendly manner. Your animals are in very good hands here ❤️

Christina McCullagh Posted on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: Been going for years but I found in the last few visits the vets very pushy on extra "services" that aren't really needed. Some actually were already done without my consent. The vets too seem very busy. Almost to busy and dont have the same care, time or appears interest in the job as they so used to. Its disappointing as I have been using them for years. Now I think its time to look else where. Check around before you try them.

Michael Caulton Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an injured sparrow hawk in my garden with a badly broken wing. After trying various places to get it some help Well Pets agreed to look after it free of charge as this was a wild bird and not one of my pets. Unfortunately they found the damage was too bad for it to ever be let back into the wild so they had to put it down. There was an injured animal that needed help and Well Pet were there for it irrelevant of money. Thank You Well Pet
