We are an independent veterinary practice based in the small market town of Dromore, Co. Down that provides quality and compassionate veterinary care. Barry is our principal vet and owner of the practice. He is no stranger to Dromore having worked and lived in the town for over 10 years. He is originally from East Donegal and the Dromore area is home from home.
It was while growing up on his uncle's dairy farm that he developed his interest and passion for all things four legged. After graduating from Glasgow Vet School in 2007, he spent a number of years practising in Ayrshire and Maghera before moving to Dromore. During his 13 years in practice he has developed considerable skills and is currently studying a post graduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery.

Services
We have some of the most modern of equipment to ensure the best possible care for your animal. On arrival you will enter our bright, colourful and warm waiting area. Our friendly receptionist will greet you, log your arrival on our computer system, and help you with any questions or worries you may have.
Your pet's appointment with the vet will be at least 15 minutes and include a comprehensive health check. Our Vet is available by appointment throughout the day and early evening to look after your sick pet and carry out a variety of preventative health care procedures. Appointments can be made using the online booking facility, over the telephone or in person at the reception desk.
Our pets are at the centre of our home and family life and just like any other family member their health and well-being is important. To safeguard your pet from potentially serious and sometimes fatal diseases we recommend our preventative healthcare club for every pet in which you'll find vaccinations are an integral part.
Routine diagnostic and surgical procedures are carried out every day. The array of procedures that we offer in our clinic is reflective of our up to date facilities. The animals are usually admitted first thing in the morning and sent home late afternoon. During the admission of your pet you will be fully briefed on the procedure involved and what is required at home afterwards.
Sadly in Northern Ireland there are lots of unwanted pets and finding these animals' homes can be difficult. Unfortunately for many suitable homes cannot be found and this is why we recommend neutering young animals just as they reach sexual maturity. Neutering is a term used to describe the castration of males and the spaying of female pets.

Absolutely outstanding care. Only recently started using this practice as Sam was my cats' vet and we were delighted to have him again due to being an excellent vet and one of the few people who is great with our cat Sally with his gentle, kind, and caring nature. I recently had to bring my other cat for treatment and met Barry who also is an excellent vet with the same friendly and gentle kindness that we received from Sam. Thanks to the Jasmine for being kind and helpful when I order cat food. All the staff have such a lovely attitude and want to do whatever they can to help. Happy our cats are

I am giving Barry's Vets 5 stars which is so well deserved, I would highly recommend them.
I had a very very sick wee dog, Molly, when I took her to Barry, she had gone down badly over a few days. It was touch or go if she would even recover, but with Barry's professional care and attention I'm delighted to say that she is now back to her boisterous, mischievous self! It really is a miracle!
During this period Barry was very kind to me as well as Molly; I really thought I was going to loose her. He is professional, caring and has a lovely way with animals, Molly has never been scared with him

I found Barry's Vets after a frantic Google search of "Dromore vet" and wow am I glad I did. They saw my dog straight away, without being a patient there, he had a twisted stomach and was in a very bad way. He was operated on immediately, and fortunately survived the procedure. The skill and knowledge of Barry & team saved his life. The care we recieved was outstanding, I even got some picture messages for updates through the night. Follow up care has been great, I made lots of phone calls for advice and they were always obliging to speak to me.

I can't speak highly enough of Barry's Vets. We have taken our new rescue cat, Floyd, twice now, and both myself and my wife were highly impressed on both occasions by the level of care and customer service. Were Floyd capable of verbal articulation, I'm sure he would say the same!
Barry is extremely warm and caring, and clearly a brilliant vet, as is their new team member (who I think is called Rachael, but I'm not certain on that, sorry! Lol).
Sharon is also brilliant at her job and always makes us feel so welcome.
Thanks again!

We have required Barry’s services quite a lot over the past couple of years for our two senior cats and young large dog. From routine check ups/treatments to emergency call outs late at night, Barry and his staff cannot be more obliging and helpful. All at Barry’s go above and beyond to look after the fur babies in their care. I know when mine are in getting treated I am content that they are in excellent hands. Staff have worked hard to bring my babies through complex ailments and to reassure me when I am ‘catastrophising’ . In addition to being an excellent practice in terms of treatment

I’d just like to share our own personal experience at Barry’s Vet’s. Barry is a fantastic vet, with a vast knowledge and lots of experience in caring for and treating animals in his care.
Thankfully with the great care and attention given to our much loved family pet by Barry and his team, she is now back home recuperating.
We couldn’t praise Barry’s vets enough , We are giving him a 5 star review . I would strongly recommend Barry’s vets .

Barry's vets is a great local vet, they are always very friendly and gentle with our dog Ruby. There is never an issue getting her an appointment, whether an emergency call out or an evening one after work. Ruby recently had an operation to remove a lump; Barry and the team were very reassuring and helped us throughout!

Barry's Vets is a professional, dedicated, friendly and caring practice. Whenever we have needed to visit, my animals get five star treatment from Barry, along with lots of helpful advice from the really animal-friendly and knowledgeable staff. He has treated all my animals, some with long term chronic conditions, and he has level of knowledge and care that is second to none. This place really is outstanding - highly recommend.
