Pets First

Pets First in Enniscorthy appears to operate primarily as a pet rehoming centre rather than a general veterinary clinic. It focuses on rehoming dogs, with reviews describing a friendly, low-pressure adoption process and staff who aim for a good match between pet and owner. Pre-adoption care commonly mentioned by adopters includes vet checks, microchipping, vaccinations and neutering support.

Services

•Pet rehoming and adoption: Reviews describe visiting to view a surrendered dog, meeting the dog with family members, and collecting the dog on a later date once the adoption was agreed.
•Pre-adoption health steps: Adopters mention dogs receiving a full vet check, microchipping and vaccinations before going home.
•Neutering support: Reviews mention neutering being included where needed, or a voucher being provided for neutering.
•Dog reclaim-related requirements mentioned in reviews: One review describes needing a dog licence and microchip for release, with microchipping arranged at extra cost if the dog was not already chipped.

Google maps does not bring you to the correct entrance. This is especially frustrating if you are coming from a northerly direction as you are directed into the driveway of the house next door with no idea where to go next. Coming from the other side you can see the Pets First sign. Thankfully the receptionist answered the phone promptly and was extremely pleasant and helpful and directed me the rest of the way to Pets First. Lovely experience once I had arrived.

I went with a friend to view a little dog who had been surrendered to the pound the staff were very nice and allowed my friend and her son to meet the little one we decided to take her it cost 70 euro this includes her first two shots chip and they would have spade her but she already had the job done my friend was able to collect her the following Wednesday afternoon she is a beautiful animal has a few little problems but nothing a loving home and a bit of training can't solve. The staff were very helpful there and did not try to force anyone into taking a pet. After all, they want a good fit for the animal also .

Had a lovely experience at pet's first the staff are so helpful and nothing is to much for them to assist you with.

If you need to get your dog back the only way to start is by leaving a message on the answer machine they not open Tuesday and Thursday only accept cash payments need to have your dog license and microchipped if not microchipped you will have to pay to get it done before your pet will be released at an extra fee and only be there for 3pm not 2pm what the dog Warden told me.

Staff are so friendly and helpful. The dogs get a full vet check, chip and double vaccinations and a voucher for neutering. I've got the cutest dog ever from this place and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. It's so much more rewarding to rescue rather than buy a dog. The only downfall this place has, it's not very well advertised, and the phone in times are very limited.
