Flynn’s Vets always provide an excellent service. My dog is anxious in the vets but from the moment I walk in the reception staff greet us and understand. They are professional and very friendly, very efficient at their job. The vet was patient, professional, took her time as not to scare my dog. She explained what the injections were for and how Mia might be later that day. Excellent service as always. Highly recommend this practice just of the Saintfield Road. Thank you from Mia and I.

We came to Flynn’s around 2 years ago and I have been amazed time and time again with the service from this practice. Friendly reception staff, easy appointments/med collection, excellent value for money and most importantly - vets worth their weight in gold. My dog Luna struggles with anxiety, I brought her in yesterday for a checkup and her annual vaccinations with Ciara. I am always nervous bringing her to the vets as I know it takes her some time to settle and she doesn’t warm to everyone. But yesterday Ciara was very patient with Luna, she got down on the floor to her level, gave her pets, treats and lots of encouragement, and she made her feel very comfortable before administering her injections. Taking that extra bit of time made the process move much more smoothly, and for once Luna left the vets happy and calm. Ciara’s compassion and patience was just beautiful to see. As a pet owner, I also felt listened to and seen throughout the appointment when we were chatting through some recent behavioural changes in Luna. I was given with excellent and practical advice for take away with me. I honestly can’t recommend the team at Flynn’s enough, they truly love and care for animals and you can feel that in every interaction.

We have been with Flynn Vets for 12 years. Thank you to all of you for your care of our rescue lurchers. You have been constantly kind and helpful. Our lurcher Danny recently had an ulcer on his eye, thanks to Terry and the team at Flynn vets Commons Brae, Danny’s eye has healed after surgery and the dedicated care from the whole team. Your care and kindness is never taken for granted. Thank you.

I have always found everyone in the Commons Brae branch very helpful. They have continuously provided fantastic care for my dog. Just recently one of the vets went above and beyond finding out information for me and another member of staff gave advice for grooming. I have no hesitation in recommending Flynn Vets.
