Beaumont Animals Hospital

The Beaumont Animals Hospital is actually part of the Royal Veterinary College, a place where students get to have first-​hand experience with becoming great vets. I like this, because med school students try harder, dammit.
Actually, it is kind of nice. You get seen by a student who goes over your pet and issues and then you get seen by the vet with the student to confirm everything. Two check-​ups for the price of one.
And the price is good, cheaper for an exam than I’ve found at other spots for sure.
The Vet is a little hard to find, since it doesn’t have an address. I even called and said, «What’s the street number for you guys.» They responded with, «Uhhhhh, we don’t have one? But you’ll find us.» Um, ok. So I went down to Royal College Street and walked into the Royal College only to be told, nope, the vet is down the road. Ugh, thanks guys.
It actually does have a big green Vet sign outside. So now you know.
Inside the Vet, there are actually three waiting rooms — one for tiny animals, one for small animals and one for large dogs. I sat in the large dog section all by myself and it was great.
Overall, win of a place and very nice for my dog.

Phew!
Visiting the vet could have been a very stressful experience (especially as my kitten was terrified on the bus, and shaking with fear by the time we arrived!) However the folks at this vet were all brilliant.
* They were friendly and helpful when I called to make an appointment
* I called because this comes up in the wrong place on the Unilocal map (it’s further down the road, by the post office) …staff gave good directions
* We got to see a trainee vet first… followed by a fully trained vet. Both were really great with stitch (my kitten) and answered all my questions
* Moggy MOT went well. He is now defleaed, dewormed, vaccinated and declared a healthy kitty. Phew!
* All the staff seemed to be animal lovers… and they all really loved my kitten. This maybe the main reason for my 5 star review (!) I wish receptionists at doctors/​hospitals for humans could be half as friendly!
Oh…and this vet surgery gives a discount if your on benefits. :)
(So even if you lost your job, you’d be able to take care of your pets)
