Proudly Supporting
Samaritans Walkies For Wellbeing 2025

At Village Vets, caring for pets and their families goes hand in hand with caring for our communities. That’s why we are so proud to be the official partner of Samaritans Walkies for Wellbeing 2025. So put your best paws forward for Samaritans this October and help them to continue in their mission of fewer lives lost to suicide.

What it’s All About

Just as daily walks keep our dogs happy and healthy, taking time to care for our own wellbeing is just as important. We are passionate about both - the wellbeing of pets and the wellbeing of people. That is why, this October, we are joining forces with Samaritans and inviting you to walk 100KM. Together, we can raise awareness and vital funds for an incredible cause.

Village Vets began with a simple but powerful goal, to provide the best possible care to pets and their families. I’m proud to say that this mission has remained at the heart of everything we do and is part of our DNA. Even as we’ve grown from a single clinic in Dunshaughlin into a group of trusted veterinary practices across Ireland.

Today, Village Vets is more than a group of veterinary clinics. We’re a passionate team who believe in going the extra mile; for pets, for their owners, and for each other. We pride ourselves on creating best in-class clinics where animals receive expert care with a personal touch, and where our colleagues are supported to grow and thrive in their careers.

Every clinic we open or welcome into the Village Vets family shares our values: compassion, community, and clinical integrity. We’re proud to offer advanced services like advanced surgery, oncology, dentistry, exotic pet care, cardiology, ophthalmology, 24/7 emergency support, and tailored health plans, while never losing the personal touch that defines us.

At Village Vets, we believe the future of veterinary care lies in creating a positive experience for both clients and colleagues. That’s why we invest in our people, our technology, and the communities we serve.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know us. We look forward to welcoming you and your pet to one of our clinics soon. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know by emailing charlesc@villagevets.ie. I would be delighted to hear from you.

Warm regards,
Charles Cosgrave MVB
CEO of Village Vets
