Was visiting with a friend. The practice delt with our case with compassion. Her poor wee cat was at end of life. they afforded us all the privace we needed to say our final goodbyes to our pet of 17yrs. It was a peaceful passing and we were allowed to take him home for burial in our garden. Thanks Millburn practine for all the help over the years

Very disappointed with my visit. As a veterinary nurse myself (just moved here from London), I was shocked at the lack of compassion by the vet. I have the sweetest puppy, who loves everyone. The vet didnt even say hello to my dog, didn't pet her, and didn't even smile. Very ignorant to me, my partner and our pup. It is the first and last time we will be there. As a veterinary professional myself I can't get enough kisses from the pets, so to see a vet barely even acknowledge our dog apart from checking her heart and temperature (not even telling us if it was normal or not), I'm completely baffled as to why she even chose this career. I had to request the medication our dog needs myself.

Cant sing Millburn Vets praises enough, my Princess has addissons disease and all the vet's are brilliant with everything they do for Princess and my wee cat Pickle, always go above and beyond for them no matter what is thrown at them they always deliver! Even the staff at the desk always friendly and greet Princess when she comes in for her monthly visits, many of times they've saved Princess! Best vet's in NI by far

It was a Very Sad Day as we had to say Farewell to our much loved wee Dog yesterday and we have nothing but praise for the Professional ,Compassionate care we received throughout his short illness by everyone in Millburn Vets . Especially today by Carolyn our Vet and Nicole the nurse who discussed his care in detail and where so understanding throughout. It made such a difficult day a wee bit easier. We were given all the time we needed to say goodbye in a respectful and quiet manor. Thank you so much 🙏it really was so much appreciated by my wife and myself . We would recommend Millburn 100% as we have had nothing but fantastic Professional and Friendly care every time we go and we know we the dogs are Good hands 😊👍

We've already 2 cats which we got from Cat Rescue Charities and in September we rehomed a very frail cat from a small rescue charity which we named Biscuit. I immediately registered him with Millburn Vets. On his first appointment we took him to get his second lot of vaccinations which were due and he had a checkup, during which he got his claws clipped and his ears which were full of ear mites were cleaned out. Several weeks later we noticed the tips of his ears felt rough and soon after they started to bleed. We had thought it was cancer and took him to back to Millburn. He was examined and after consulting with the vet we decided it was best to remove the tips of his ears to stop it from spreading. He had an operation a few days later and had to get quite a bit of his ears removed. Tthe vet did an excellent job and they ended up looking very even. As you can see from the photos. He had to stay in overnight and we had to give him pain killers for the next few days. I was very happy with the treatment and care Biscuit received, and the cost of it was very reasonable. I've been using Millburn Vets for over 30 years, during which time I've had many cats treated for various ailments and injuries and some have had to be put to sleep. Millburn Vets have took care of cremating them and I've received their ashes in beautiful wooden urns. Every member of my family have pets and we've always used Millburn Veterinary Practice. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and most importantly they care about your pets.. Myself, my family and all our pets would highly recommend them.
