The 30 Best Pets in Belfast

“Excellent service, staff are very helpful and friendly. The clinician took time with my dog and tried to relax him as best as possible. Checked him over very thoroughly without causing him him undue upset. Checked his medical records. Chat about the issues, symptoms and treatments. Dispatched his treatment effectively and efficiently. I need to return in 4 weeks for a check-up and booster which was booked for me then and there without any issue. It's never a nice place to take your pet but they made it as relaxed and efficient, ensuring my pet was as stressless as possible.”

“Have used everytime we've gone away for last number of years, great place. Helen and Rick are lovely and great with the dogs. Our dogs love it.”

“I'm so happy with Doggy Daycare for my little Tibetan spaniel cross, Finn. Nigel is dedicated to his dogs and my boy just loves the interaction with the other pooches. Thank you so much.”

“Have been leaving my two dogs here for 12 years. Karen and Gary run fantastic clean kennels and our dogs love it here.”

“David and the staff are great, they have looked after several of my older cats who needed regular medication. The cats were well cared for and I’d highly recommend Ballyharvey to anyone.”

“Fantastic place to stay. Spotlessly clean and a delicious homemade breakfast. Room was spacious, warm and tastefully decorated. Gillian was warm and friendly and gave us great tips for places to eat in the village. Handy to Dublin, Belfast and Lisburn due to close proximity to the A1. 20 minute walk or 3 mins in the car to the heart of Hillsborough village. Loads of things to do and see in the village.”

“Phil and team are fantastic. My dog hated going to the groomers and she got very cross when getting her face done. They were patient with her and realised she didn't like getting held by the hair under her chin. We have been going there for a few years now, and my dog is never upset anymore. I wouldn't take her anywhere else.”

“Wonderful groomer. I have two very nervous dogs and they have no problems going to see Kat. She has a magical way with dogs.”

The bathroom was spotless with complementary washing ,showering and towels ect .And the breakfast was also excellent with a wide variety of things to choose from .5 stars no problem .”

“We stayed here for 4 nights last week. We loved it! The hotel celebrates people important to the area. We stayed in the John Cleaver suite (we got upgraded). The room and adjoining bathroom was beautiful. The owner has obviously put a great deal of thought and care into this hotel. I loved that it's not got a corporate identity and the quirkiness of it. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was incredible, with so much choice, we've never seen such a decadent breakfast in a hotel. Drinks and entertainment are available in the lounge in the evenings. We didn’t take advantage of this, purely because I have ME (chronic fatigue syndrome) and I needed to rest early in the evenings ahead of the next day's activities. Situated minutes from a bus stop for buses into the city. The hop on, hop off tour buses stop outside too. We had a wonderful stay - first time to Belfast but we will return!”

“I chose to stay here vs. a Premier Inn & I was so pleased I did!! Such lovely hosts, Avril & Terry. So friendly & welcoming. Granted the Inn is slightly dated but I like that, why does everything have to be so modern? It's beautifully quirky & my bed had its own postcode. So comfortable! Well needed after a long day travelling & working. The small touches of the alcohol fridge in the shared sitting room was lovely, along with the small extra touches such as a generous amount of teabags/sugar & milk in the room. Views are also beautiful. Such a lovely quiet, relaxing location. Would love to see it in the summer! The only down side was the power of the shower but that's not a major issue for me.”

“Tim. Greeted. My. Partner. Robert. And. I. Very. Polite. And. Well. Mannered. Excellent. Service. At. Breakfast. The. Peace. And. Quiet. And. The. Scenery. Outstanding. Recommend. To. Anyone. Our. Next. Visit. Will. Be. Booked”

“Great stay at Cordia apartments. Convenient location with a bus stop very close outside which takes you directly to the city centre. Basic straightforward accommodation at a reasonable price. Varnika and Nadine were really helpful and very responsive to any queries. Very impressed by the service.”

“Staff are lovely and friendly. The store is clean and spacious.”

“Ryan is the nicest knowledgeable and pleasant pharmacist boots have plus the staff are pleasant and helpful we travel from The other side of town because we can trust His advise REALLY Annoyed to find out they are to close doors in the new year BOOTS need to think twice especially now the NHS want all chemists to do more work to help cut down on doctors visits”

“Boota pharmacy is a great place if you need advice on anything & great stock of things you need. Or pick up a prescription well recommended”

“Really friendly staff (both in front and out back) who are always patient and helpful. This would be my first experience of a real 'community chemist' and it is genuinely a marvelous thing that should certainly never be taken for granted!”

“Very knowledgeable on their fish and don't take any chances to harm the quality of their stock. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“I took my 2 Chihuahuas to the Lisburn store to get them a harness which would fit as I have never been able to find the perfect harness for them. Toni was fantastic and she helped me find high quality harnesses which were the perfect size, whilst helping me fit them, she made my pups a puppychino, they also got a treat too, and of course lots of cuddles! The store offers lots of items, toys, treats, various accessories etc, and my pups loved the experience, they even came home with a new toy each and got to meet another wee dog too. Highly recommend them and we will definitely be back”

“Michael is an excellent groomer highly experienced in what he does, he groomed our Wire fox terrier Hazel perfectly. Thank you - we will be back ☺️”

“The customer service provided was exceptional; the team was readily available to assist and address our inquiries.”

“Amazing people very pleasant and make you feel so welcome. Would recommend going there. A lovely environment for pets and their owners. Have always felt at ease.”

“The staff are lovely and accommodating and Dr Joanne is down-to-earth, compassionate, and pragmatic. Our nearly 17-year-old wee dog remains energetic and his lovable, sociable self under Dr Joanne’s expert care, notwithstanding a heart murmur, and degenerating eye sight. We are very grateful for the care they provide, and highly recommend this veterinary service.”
