Pets First – Vets in Enniscorthy
Clinic Overview
Pets First appears to be a pet rehoming centre (rather than a general veterinary clinic). The website text describes rehoming pets with “a professional team dedicated to their welfare,” and multiple reviews focus on adopting dogs and meeting animals before committing.
Based on reviews, the centre seems set up around rehoming processes and basic pre-adoption health steps: adopters mention dogs receiving vet checks, microchipping and vaccinations as part of adoption, and one reviewer noted staff “did not try to force anyone into taking a pet,” prioritising a good match. A recurring practical issue is access/wayfinding—one reviewer said map directions brought them to the wrong entrance—but they also said the receptionist helped promptly by directing them.
Services
- •Pet rehoming/adoption (reviews describe viewing a surrendered dog, meeting the dog with family, and collecting the dog later).
- •Pre-adoption health steps mentioned by adopters
- •“Full vet check” (as described by one reviewer).
- •Microchipping (included in at least one adoption; also referenced as required for reclaiming a dog, with an extra fee if not already chipped).
- •Vaccinations (described as “double vaccinations” by one reviewer; another mentions “first two shots” included).
- •Neutering support: one reviewer said adopters receive “a voucher for neutering”; another said they would have had the dog spayed if it hadn’t already been done.
Pricing
- •Adoption fee mentioned in one review: €70, stated to include the first two shots and a microchip (and spaying would have been included, but that dog was already spayed).
People
- •Receptionist (unnamed): described as answering promptly and being “extremely pleasant and helpful,” including guiding a visitor who was struggling to find the entrance.
- •Staff team (unnamed): repeatedly described as friendly/helpful in the context of adoption visits, allowing prospective owners (including a child) to meet a dog, and not pressuring anyone to take an animal.
Reviews
Google rating: 3.9 stars from 32 reviews.
- •Adoption experience is often described as positive and low-pressure: reviewers mention staff being helpful, allowing time to meet dogs, and not pushing people into adopting.
- •Health steps included with rehoming are a key point: vet check, microchipping, vaccinations, and a neutering voucher are all specifically mentioned.
- •Practical friction points come up: one reviewer says map directions led to the wrong entrance (resolved with help from reception), and another complains about limited ways to initiate contact, cash-only payments, and microchipping being required (with an extra fee if not already done).

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 .

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.
