Hey everyone,

We are excited to announce that we're taking part in a
fundraiser to support Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. One of our team
members' brother is doing a 5-day trekking & sledding challenge in
Norway & Sweden to raise funds for this amazing charity.

Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland receives thousands of enquiries every
year and currently has only 14 dogs in training. These dogs are
trained for 2 years and provided to families free of charge. As a
non-profit organization, they rely solely on donations and
fundraisers.

To help raise funds, we've organized cake and coffee meetings across
all our branches. We've had some lovely coffee mornings, and our
bakery skills have been put to good use.

We would love your support, so please give us a thumbs up to show your
support for this cause. We hope to make this an annual tradition.

If you would like to support Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, head to
their website https://www.autismassistancedogsireland.ie to donate.
They're doing amazing work, and every little bit helps.

WELCOME TO VILLAGE VETS

Our family have come on a long a journey since 1980 when our Dad, Karl, bought the Veterinary practice in Dunshaughlin. Like all families, we have grown and changed since then.

These days we are proud to be working with the best vets and nurses in Ireland across our state of the art clinics in Meath and Dublin. But one thing that hasn’t changed is knowing how important our team is to you, and understanding the important position your pets take within your family and also within our family.

To reflect the high quality of service and care we provide, we are unifying our clinics and services under the new name of Village Vets over the next few months.

Our brand refresh better represents our values and the reasons why we come to work every day. And one unified brand means we can provide an even more consistent and great value service to you across our clinics.
