Arena Veterinary Hospital: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this vets enough for looking after my bulldog puppy. We travel from Dublin to Wexford, David was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, gentle, and so reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel completely at ease. Lovely atmosphere and the girls Sharon and Sophie on reception are so professional and friendly ! — we feel very lucky to have found them, they go above and beyond. Highly recommend 10/10 experience
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Arena Vets, they gave us a last minute appointment for our golden retriever who isn’t even a client of theirs which ended up in an emergency surgery which saved her life. Sophie on reception and all of the vets that were on duty were nothing short of amazing and I cannot thank them enough for their quick and helpful service. You’ve gained a new customer!
Hi Charlotte,
Thank you so much for that incredible review! Delighted we could help you. I will be sure to pass your kind words on to the team it will make their day. Look forward to seeing you again.

Negative experience: I always had faith in this vets when you pay big money every time and you put your faith in these and they treat your dog for pneumonia in July October and December when I brought my best friend into them 16th of December the new one not very professional vet sent me home with tablets I counted the hours my dog got sicker 3.45 am I rang brambley and shea vets 4.15am she was seen they had no records for her after 11am records came through arena vets told them they couldn't hear her heart because of fluid on her lungs I rang them I asked about the medication they gave ? Not a Irish person that I was speaking to she said sure medication wouldn't work for 48 hours and my best friend died ....my dog never had pneumonia ...I lost my best friend but my dog was a number to yous its all about the money with arena vets a shot and health check 92 euro I would love to speak to to manager of this money pit all about there pockets not about our best friends
Hi Ann,
I sincerely apologise for the loss of your little Poppet. I know first hand how painful this can be. I can assure you our patients and clients are anything but numbers to us. We do this for the love and care of the animals first and foremost. I have looked into your file and can see what treatments were given and recommendations were advised to you during your consult. If you would like to email me your concerns or ring the clinic I can discuss this further with you and hopefully put your mind at ease.
Warm Regards,
David.
Clinical Director.

Fantastic experience: If you own a French bulldog, this is the vets for you, as you know frenchies come with a truck load of health problems, between Vet David and Vet Gemma ,I always have full confidence that our dog is receiving 5 star care and beyond. Honestly Arena vets is truly quality care. The Ladies on Reception are amazing, ever go to a place and be too nervous to speak to Reception, well these woman know how to make you feel comfortable and heard even before seeing the vets ,no question is a stupid question. If you truly love your family pet , this is the vets for you , your pet is genuinely in some of the best hands and hearts in wexford.

Negative experience: The staff are very friendly and helpful but the cost is very expensive compared to previous vets. They also never provide a receipt with the breakdown of costs
Hi Ciaran,
We at Arena Veterinary Hospital always strive to give a very warm and positive service to our clients and their 4 legged friends, so thank you for your positive feedback. I am sorry to hear you found us expensive, I cant seem to find any file under the name Mcpoland on our system to look into this for you. If you would like to contact us directly I can look into this. Always happy to provide itemised receipts when requested, we are just trying to reduce paper waste and our environmental impact.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Fantastic experience: I changed to arena vets in the last few months my dog Thumbelina is 15.5 years old so she is constantly in the vets over last few months every time I need an appointment they always fit me in.The vets and receptionist are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I joined their pet club and it has great savings so overall I am very happy with the care that is been given to Thumbelina
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much from all the team here at Arena Veterinary Hospital for taking the time to leave this review. We really appreciate the positive feedback and kind words. Little Thumbelina is always a pleasure and we love seeing her. She's a little old lady who deserves the best! See you later.

Hi Jeff,
Lovely to meet you and Pixie, thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Sadly, our visit this week was to say a final goodbye to our much loved dog following a stroke. As heartbroken as we were, all the regular staff made our experience as good as it could be in the circumstances and we are hugely grateful for that. We have always found Arena vets helpful and understanding and you and your pet always get the 5 star treatment on every visit. Thank you everyone.

Thank you for the 5 stars Lisa!! See you and the guys soon!
Negative experience: I’ve had a number of positive experiences with Arena in the past, the staff are lovely and I can’t fault them. The vets are helpful and able to give good advice. Today I left the practice feeling like I’ve been mugged. I brought my dog in for a consult and was advised she could do with a course of antibiotics and painkillers. Fair enough, who is going to deny their animal the treatment they need? €70-80 at most I thought to myself. I’ve got a pet plans so maybe that will give a percentage discount, take the edge off a bit. I could have collapsed when I saw the bill. €182. The discount was €6.50. I didn’t feel like I could deny my animal the course of antibiotics so I paid up, left and told my partner. We all know animal care can get expensive. I say this having to have paid over £4000 for specialist surgery for my Staffy. But I can’t help but feel the basic medical care has become grossly overpriced. I’ve since returned to my vet in Enniscorthy who charge €35 a consult and far more reasonable prices for antibiotics/painkillers. I liked Arena Vets, but the last time my staffy had this problem I paid under half of what I paid today…it’s a real shame.
Negative experience: Never had an issue with the service or getting an appointment etc, however, prices are gone insane. €65 consultation fee when other vets are charging €35. Paid a vet bill of €185 today for a quick consultation, some painkillers and antibiotics. This included a “discount” we’re meant to receive for being on a MONTHLY plan that costs €38 for two dogs? Shop around for sure, we’re switching back to our vets in Enniscorthy. How on Earth is the average person meant to be able to afford that vet bill? So we’ve basically paid Arena €223 this month with the plan and the ONE vet visit. Insane.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this vets highly enough. The staff are so friendly and always keep you updated. The care and compassion they have shown my family and pets over the years is above and beyond anything we have ever experienced anywhere else.
Positive experience: Vets generally are so expensive
Fantastic experience: Will never use another vets again! Bear is treated like their own here by everyone
Fantastic experience: I am happy to recommend Arena and the staff there. We live an hour away but they are worth the journey.
Negative experience: Worst veterinary practice around I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Completely unprofessional. Profit before bets. If I could give 0 stars to leave a review I would. Avoid at all costs.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Veterinary Practice - From front of house to vets. Have really only worked with Chris & Gemma - both giving excellent service & support. Noelle would agree
Fantastic experience: Excellent veterinary practice...your pet will get the best of care here
Negative experience: I've taken a small newborn cat to save, they didn't want to do anything. She was not peeing, suffering. She died in the same day and now I am very bad. I will never forget this forever. It caused a big impact in my life.
Fantastic experience: It been our yearly check up - it was back to Arena Vet's - on arrival I noticed the major work on the drive in - the main building - the car parking - the lovely bench seats to sit on - the bowls of water around the area - the interior was lovely and clean and well laid out - now we get to the most important things - the staff - the Heart of any business - they were the most lovely people that you could hope to meet - kind - gentle - considered - Marley ( my dog ) is a special lad - afraid of anything and I mean everything - so it is nice to know that everyone in Arena has the time and the kindness in looking after him - on our visit the lady vet ( sorry I have forgotten her name - comes with age ) came out to us and gave him his Jabs in the car - as not too stress him out - she was able to calm him down and do her checks - she was lovely - calming - kind - gentle - and spoke to Marley as she was doing so - now the big Question - would I be back - well I think that I have already answered that - but yes - of course we will
Fantastic experience: Really nice vet office that truly.cares about pets. Great with working with anxious dogs as well.

Fantastic experience: A pleasure to bring my pets to the Arena team. They are always professional and friendly whether I meet with the nurse or Isobel the Vet. Girls in reception are also lovely. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: We have both our cats registered here and always have found the staff very friendly and professional. Plenty of parking and ease of access.
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about the kindness, respect and compassion shown to us by Chris and all the staff at Arena Vet. Our beloved pet went to sleep, it was heartbreaking and we are devastated. Chris and the team made a tough situation and decision a little more bearable. I will never go to another vet. There is genuine care and love for animals and a respect for how much they mean to people and are part of the family.
Fantastic experience: Excellent team here, always put you at ease and our lads are happy to visit every time.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and my cat was well looked after. Happy to recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, best vets in Wexford.
Fantastic experience: Very good service and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the expert care given to my dog, Daisy following cruciate ligament surgery. Although not fully recovered yet 6 weeks post op, Chris was happy to see Daisy on 3 visits post op which were included in the overall surgery cost. Very personal care shown by all the team especially Sophie whenever I've had to visit. Great veterinary practice, if I lived closer I would strongly consider moving to them.
Fantastic experience: Top marks everytime, can't fault them!!
Fantastic experience: Cian is such a lovely caring vet, he looked after my beautiful huge tom cat Barney who's sadly passed away aged 15yrs and now he's taking care of my new addition a tabby boy kitten, he instills such confidence in the pet and the owner, that's the reason I'm back at Arena Vets, great job thanks Cian. Staff always very friendly on arrival and will go the extra mile to help. Parking is very good and very good opening hours and Emergency service.
Fantastic experience: Great vets. Highly recommended. Very professional and patient answering all our questions. All staff treated our dog very kindly.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Gemma for looking after Puffin x
Fantastic experience: Caring staff and Cian was exceptionally professional when we had to put our beautiful dog Holly to sleep. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank the fabulous staff at Arena vets enough. Their care of our dog after she was attacked while we were holidaying in the area was amazing. They were just so kind and lovely and went completely above and beyond to also look after my kids who were a bit traumatised by the whole ordeal. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, great care given to pets, all costs explained beforehand, appointments run on time.
Fantastic experience: All round great people
Negative experience: Very very expensive compared to other local veterinary services. Not particularly professional, rather unclean premises. Would question whether animal welfare or financial profit was their priority?! Friendly enough but wouldn't recommend. Far better vets within Wexford area.
Fantastic experience: Arena Vets is a friendly, professional practice with knowledgeable and helpful staff. Their prices are also affordable.
Fantastic experience: Cian at Arena Vets looked after my 8 year old cavalier who had broken a tooth and needed an extraction. His situation was complicated by having a heart murmur. He was beautifully looked after and has fully recovered. He thanked Cian with some links before he left. Excellent service and great rapport with myself & my dog.
Fantastic experience: Good vet , lovely staff
Positive experience: Excellent modern vets with an emphasis on figuring out the cause rather than treating symptoms. A bit expensive when it comes to basics . Greats vets who appreciate your knowledge of your own animal .

Fantastic experience: I think they are the best in Wexford. Unfortunately we recently were there a lot, cos all our pets were sick. 1 dog and 2 kittens. The staffs are amazing. They all looked after our " babies" like they were the owners of them. They give fully attention of all pets and they are doing 110% for all of them. We are really happy to have them.
Fantastic experience: Really thorough and kind. Gemma took extra care and time with my dog who is a nervous fella! Best vet experience Billy has ever had. There was even a tail wag. Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Amazing vets
Fantastic experience: If ever anyone wants a recommendation for cruciate ligament injuries, well here it is! Chris and his team do amazing procedures to enable your dog to walk perfectly normal after injuries. It's about listening to Chris's careful advice and following up with the aftercare, tedious as it it, it's so worth it!! From not being able to walk more than a few metres, my large breed dog can now walk kilometres with no issues. Wonderful to see such skill give hope. Thank you Chris and team!
Fantastic experience: Excellent. We are lucky to have Arena so close to us. They are everything and more that you would expect from a top class professional general veterinary practice. Gemma has been fantastic with our dog's specialist treatment, finding the resources needed for his particular illness (Westie Lung Disease).
Positive experience: Caring service for your furry family. Can be a bit expensive but who isnt?
Fantastic experience: Very satisfied found cian very helpful would definitely go back
Positive experience: So far so good. Lovely staff, not in a rush to get you out the door like some vets. Currently in the middle of treatment and Gemma gave me all my options and didn't rip me off yet.
Fantastic experience: Very nice people they done a brilliant job on my Grammy.cant thank them enough
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff lovely clinic professional service . I did see a broken window on the top floor .

Michael

Fantastic experience: Fantastic vets. Reasonable prices. Very friendly. Cattery is great.
Fantastic experience: Arena were great when our family dog passed away at the end of Summer '21. Cian was amazing with us and I felt he handled the situation with honesty and consideration for both ourselves and our dog Duke. I have since gotten two pups and Cian has been an amazing vet. He has a real love for animals which is clear to see and he's always fabulous to deal with. Arena are lucky to have him on the team, I can't recommend him enough! Thanks for everything Cian, Shadow and Ozzy are lucky to have such a diligent vet looking out for them. I would also like to give the girls at reception a mention as they are always lovely to deal with too.
Fantastic experience: Great communication. Very professional. Thanks to Chris and team for the wonderful lifesaving care that they gave Sandy. Sandy has made a great recovery and is bouncing around after like new after 2 surgeries. The aftercare was so professional and care to a very high standard. The staff treated Sandy like he was one of their own pets. Thank you
